Hello All
I'm back in the US atleast for a few weeks, And as usual when I slow down my mind doesn't. All my life I have kept myself busy, one project after another and like most of you there was work, For me usually 60 or 70 hours a week. Even I know that was an escape. Had some personal relationships that putting it mildly just didn't work out. And thats not what I am writing about today.
Earlier this week a friend (Bill Sackett) called to check if my family and I were OK. A good friend from SH and we have kept in touch at times since. My Response the earth quake was 8,000 miles away so I am fine. He didn't know I had returned from Thailand just a few days before the quake. It's a great feeling when a friend calls just to see if we are OK and uninjured. Maybe we should all do this more often. I know I have become some what a loner. Not the best place to be but something I have become accustomed to. Almost frightening to realize being alone doesn't bother me in the least. I enjoy people and company, in limited doses. A good visit is a short visit. And with all that said, I still have my list of friends and family that are gone, I hope to a better place. and as good as that place maybe I still miss them.
Sitting here drinking coffee, reading and replying to emails, taking a break mostly because I am tired, and listening to music and this part I write to most of you. We can from memory list the important things we have lost in life and money isn't on the list. It's a list of friends family that are gone. All of this for me came up from listening to my favorite artist Jim Croce. and "Time in a Bottle"
And we can't save time in a bottle. We can make time in our lives for what is really important. I am pretty sure most of have said"when I get time I will...." And we only get time when we make it by putting other things aside and giving that time to what is important.
Hope I didn"t bore all of you. In a few weeks I will return to Thailand and Jezebel, No it's not a woman just my new project. I named it Jezebel because it's beautiful and just wants to get my time and my money.
