I just had some friends do what we, as companions, hate to do.  Pets, in general; cats, dogs, birds, anything that we might call “ours”, usually have to go off on their own little journey long before we’re ready, (and when might THAT time be?).  It doesn’t matter what our “pet” might be, we’re never ready for that time.  What is that time?  Their eyes, the way they now move or actually, the way they really can’t move anymore?  What is the sign that we are looking for, to help us make that decision?  Each and every situation is unique, and can never be duplicated, their all of their own thing.…

Let’s see, do we want to live in the past for the pleasant times that we had, or do we want to make some sort of a  change because the  present that doesn’t contribute so much to our future?  Maybe a good question, or is it just a cop out?  Uhmmm….  Listen, we ALL had some great times in our lives, times that we’ll never want to replace, and why should we?  Sometimes, it takes the right person, with the same background, to really spark up the past; and that’s when you say, ” Top THAT”!  Sometimes it would be hard to top THAT, but look where it takes you, or leads…

I suppose that a lot of people, at some point, have to take, or stay on steroids for awhile; and I bet that everyone has their own story on when they are able to come off.  Woop-tee-do, what the body tells you is happening, is happening, plus some.  A lot of what I was feeling the first week, the Dr.’s called it right; these guys know their stuff, and I ‘m glad they do, and call it out.  Let’s drop back a little bit, and I’ll recap what was happening as I was on Dexamethasone and Famotidine, (these are the steroids, with a sedetive to help them along!), along with the anti-seizure…

I’ve often thought of every friend that has come along my way, in one way or another.  It’s amazing how many there are, and I’m not even thinking of numbers; it’s all about the people, and their hearts and what they have inside their bones.  You don’t know how many times I just shake my half-brain head, and acknowledge how lucky I am; because I JUST am.  So many things have come my way, from other people giving, and many times me not knowing what was going on, and by the way, still happening in some ways. Maybe I’ll go out on a limb, and actually try to name everyone…

WOW!  AGAIN, WOW!  What  a life.  I’m telling you, we ALL can say that, and should, but do we?  That’s the point here; I think that we all feel this at some point, recognize it and enjoy!  I just had my folks visit for a week.  Guess what we did?  Absolutely nothing, but relax.  I think they enjoyed it as much as I did, because every time that I took a nap, ( as we mentioned before, I take a few a day, since I don’t sleep due to these steroids that I have to keep taking, but my last week is right now, by the way!), they did a a nap,…

Big word, this steroid word.  We all hear about it, and “them”, and sometimes just take it and “them” for granted, and not even think about what they they might do to our body.  We’re told to by our doctors sometimes, and we just do.  Other times, and who knows what this reason might be, people elect to inject, or swallow, or rub or whatever might be in the back of their mind.  Pretty rough stuff. As you probably read, I had an unbelievable trip to Kauai, Hawaii.  So, so lucky that I would do again in let’s say, 1/2 a second.  Pretty well exhausted myself, ( and by golly,…

So a little time goes by, again… since I last wrote, it’ s amazing how that happens, with all of us, all of the time. Time goes by, life goes on, and things happens;  I’m a pretty lucky guy, I had a friend/client who was getting married in Kauai, and needed someone to film their little wedding.  Who am I to say anything but YES!!  It was so wonderful, and beautiful, and wet!  That island is the wettest place on this earth in some places, almost 500 inches of rain per year in the center of the island; is that almost 1 1/2 inches per day??   Boy was it beautiful, though. …
