My Belief

"The value of humanity can be found in the way we proceed through life; the way we go or do not go to war; the way we hate or love our neighbor; the way we abuse or cherish our children, and, most importantly, the way we disregard or value nature and all the beautiful creatures sharing this planet with us. Respect and appreciation of nature and of all life itself is the foundation upon which a kind heart stands."

"Happiness is important. When you're happy your soul's thirst for light is quenched. But sadness is also important, as it allows for down time and contemplation, and, without sadness, how could we recognize happiness."

The Surprise Visit

Today was a very good day. I had a surprise visit from my cousin Nancy and her husband Tommy (and dog Maddie) this morning. Ray didn't tell me. They called last Wednesday and said they were taking a little road trip to see us and Tommy's sister in Delaware. Ray said that he'd keep their visit a secret to surprise me. I certainly was surprised. At first I thought we were going out to a special breakfast, but when I asked him this morninig if we'd be walking anywhere (I had to know which shoes to wear) he said "who said we're leaving the house?" That prompted me to think right away that yes, this was some kind of surprise visit, but who? He said "just be ready at the front door at 9:00 a.m." I said to myself "it couldn't be Diane and Peter because they wouldn't even be up this early. But it could be Debbie and Mike and it could also be Nancy and Tommy".

9:00 am came and a car pulled up. I went out to the driveway to find Nancy, Tommy and Maddie in their SUV. What a sight for sore eyes. It was so good to see them today. We had a really nice breakfast and Nancy helped me set up Skype on my computer. Then we called Carolann and I could see her on my computer screen and she was there with Bonnie and it was so good to see them. Now I'm skype ready and all I have to do is get Diane's house on skype and then Kelly and John and Eileen and Gus. Then we can chat and talk on the video call instead of on the phone. It will be fantastic.
