I give thanks for:
Morning Dew
Baby Smiles
Brotherly Laughs and Hugs
Friends with senses of humor
Friends who know when I've gone to far but love me even after they have told me so
Parents who have seen almost 4 decades together
Stealing 20 years from extinction(and still counting)
Having the courage to stand my ground
Getting up after being knocked to it
Laughing in the face of end of the world predictions
Understanding that sooner or later one of them will get it right
Science that has made the world I live in easier than even that of my parents
The knowledge that we do not yet know all so there is still much to do and learn
Another day to go back on that work out plan I gave up on who knows how many months ago
Another chance to reconnect with old friends before I or they don't get another morning
The ability to see family in the best of times
The chance to be there for them in the worst
A chance to share a meal with many of those I love, and a hope to add more to the table next time.
an achy back, creaky joints and sore bones: memories of a life well lived
a cluttered mind, teary eyes and a furrowed brow:castaways of a head full of thought
Meeting many people who have added such joy to my life
The chance to meet even more tomorrow.
I am especially thankful for a moment, for no two are a like and each one has another chance to take your breath away.

A quick thank you
To whomeva was reading my Optometrist blog, I had kind of forgotten about it. When I say I write blogs to get the clutter out of my head I mean it, I usually forget all about them it was a thought bothering me, that either touched my heart at the time or was the reaction to some stimulus I bumped into out in the real world. So as those thoughts broil and stew ideas form, and not droplets no, my head wouldn't be cluttered if they were just droplets streams form going on their own journeys and ending in deltas of either understanding or imagination. But just like most regular dreams once had usually they vanish never to be experienced again.
With my blogs UNLESS you respond or comment I kind of forget about them and just leave them there in the ether yes if you are new visitor they are new to you, but for me it's an old thought something that was precious when I had to express it but is not a part of the ever growing tapestry that is my digital presence. Like I said my name is my address so if you see ALL of the various things I have put out on the net you will see a picture painted it is fragmented, choatic, fast paced and stoic but it is also entirely me. And when I see that others enjoy my work agree disagree comment or read I am proud because obviously it is something that drew your attention. I don't do it for praise, I have always admitted that I probably will never win a popularity contest to me though knowing someone appreciated the work that was created by the various inspirations life gives me is the ultimate joy. I'm a bit narcissistic when it comes to what I put out on the internet no not in its spelling but in it's message and its tenor. If I am expressing a vision that I wish people to see I really do try to make it as crystal clear as possible. And rereading that blog reminded me that it's a good thing, it also made me think maybe I need to loosen up a bit perhaps be more willing to put an entry out there and come back later to refine it, so I may be making use of the draft feature more often. Or even going back to old blogs and revisiting the topics with a new understanding or maybe a few more months to let it stew.
As they say hindsight is 20/20 and the further away you get from something USUALLY the more objective you can be. So again you have my deepest appreciation for bringing that blog back up into my consciousness. For a blog I don't promote the amount of hits I have gotten and the number of people who have come through is amazing to me. Whether its the titles that I choose and it just so happens to pop up in your search request, or the fact that you want to see what else this loudmouth of mine has to say on my own domain. Keep on coming through I appreciate the visits and for those few who have spoke thanks for the feedback keep it coming, and for the rest join the fun
