I love photography, reading, word games and making videos. When weather permits, I enjoy long walks (preferably with a friend discussing the world's problems and hopefully solving a few of my own). I write poetry and love a good movie (although really good movies are hard to find these days). I'm married with no children but I've adopted two cats that receive TLC (tender loving care) from me. I play the piano and Cordovox. Music is an important part of my life. I've written a few songs and I love to sing (although Simon would have a field day with me). lol I'm slim and eat a lot of rabbit food (salads)..no fast food or TV dinners for me. YouTube has become an important part of my day. I really enjoy the time I spend here!

"It's not enough to have lived. We should be determined to live for something. May I suggest that it be creating joy for others, sharing what we have for the betterment of personkind, bringing hope to the lost and love to the lonely."

things are honest, whatsoever things are
just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever
things are lovely, whatsoever things are of
good report...think on these things."

Words are building blocks of honor,
Words are stepping stones to joy,
Words are reinforcement rods
Bolstering each girl and boy.

Words give comfort to the dying,
Words are healing to the sick;
Words can also harm and hurt us,
More than any stone or stick.

Words can tarnish reputations,
Words can dash men's dreams apart,
Words can lead to deep depression,
Words can tear away the heart.

Words can leave you feeling hopeless,
Words can drive one to despair;
Words can bruise and crush an ego,
When you use them, please beware.

Words can be so sweet and loving,
Words can be so harsh and cruel;
Words can curse or bless forever,
Words can lead to peace or duel.

Words can come back home to haunt you,
Words can glance and ricochet;
Cut asunder friends and family,
Wound you with their shrapnel spray.

Words can build us iron fences,
Words can open prison doors,
What you write; the words you're speaking
Echo through time's corridors.

Choose your words with care and wisdom,
Help the world to live and cope;
Cast your bread upon the waters,
Heap on others praise and hope.

Enjoy yourself, embrace your dreams,
know that life's not what it seems.

Be grateful for each brand new day,
fend for yourself..for others, pray.

Become immersed in what you do,
then happiness will come to you.

People may forget the things you say,
they may forget the things you do,
but they NEVER forget how you make them feel!
