to delight and enrich our lives
A collection of stories, photos and poems as seen and heard through the eyes o one who appreciates life and all it contains.
It has been said that we begin to die the day we are born, I suppose that is correct, along the way we collect memories and indelible images that make us who we are and influence how we interact with others. I hope some of these musings may enrich your life.
In the face of a potentially terminal health issue (see blog), my son recently asked me to record some of the stories I tell and why they impressed me. This website will attempt to do that.
How often in conversation something is said that triggers a long overlooked memory, either a story or a picture in our mind. Most are pleasant and will bring a smile to one's face, others may be painful and cause feelings of resentment or anger. The former, I treasure and embrace as old friends, the latter, I try to quickly resolve in forgiveness, trying to understand the motivation and forcefully place it as far back in my recollection as possible. I have found that the older I become, the pleasant memories bring the most comfort and peace to my soul, so, I therefore choose only to dwell on them.
One of the best stories that I received over the 2009 Christmas Season was from someone I think, from Finland, I can't understand Finnish but am posting it here for your enjoyment.
