Old people, young people, those in between, take a breathe, now enjoy, you're still alive.
Every day you wake up breathing is a special day, at least for me. It means, I'm still able to get up, put my feet to the floor, stumble down the hallway and fall into the couch to watch cartoons.
God love them cartoons!
I love you.
And you.
And especially you!
Give yourself a hug.
But make sure the drapes are closed cause people outside, they won't understand and will call the funny wagon on ya.
Trust me, it might sound like a fun place to spend a few days, but those 'Rest Homes' with the padded walls, not that fun!
Take each sunset to mean you survived another day,
And each sun rise as a blessing that you have awaken to one more day.
And if I was giving the choice to live forever, and got to choose the age I'd be, I'd go with my early 30s. 40s haven't been that great so far!
Good night and have a better tomorrow,
Your friend,
Wally Beeche

I understand. One of the professors I work with likes to say that every day he spends above ground is a good day.

who are very affectionate if you just listen to them.
and man they are not boring to listen to.

it's absurdly simple to talk yr way out of such a place..
KEEP A-GOIN’
Author: by Frank L. Stanton (1857-1927)
If you strike a thorn or rose,
Keep a-goin'!
If it hails or if it snows,
Keep a-goin'!
'Taint no use to sit an' whine
When the fish ain't on your line;
Bait your hook an' keep a-tryin'--
Keep a-goin'!
When the weather kills your crop,
Keep a-goin'!
Though 'tis work to reach the top,
Keep a-goin'!
S'pose you're out o' ev'ry dime,
Gittin' broke ain't any crime;
Tell the world you're feelin' prime--
Keep a-goin'!
When it looks like all is up,
Keep a-goin'!
Drain the sweetness from the cup,
Keep a-goin'!
See the wild birds on the wing,
Hear the bells that sweetly ring,
When you feel like singin', sing--
Keep a-goin'!
Where are the whores and the coke ?
Tink, I knew you were a hugger. Big Hug.
