another day

Watching an interview with Robin Williams is always wild.

Besides being a great comedian and interpreter of life, Robin has been through enough troubles to know more of life in his 50's than he ever did earlier in life. Last summer he had bypass surgery. It changed his life.

I remember reading a prayer that began: “Lord, for some reason you have given us another day. . . “

Another day. Wow. Maybe we don't get two, but one for sure. You live for the moment as Robin says.

At this age that is easier said than done sometimes. The real pushing things in life are not pushing any longer. My real goal in life is to take care of Miriam and to out live her so I can. That makes a lot of romantic sense on one level and is pretty shallow on another.

Right now, if it were not for the books and boxes I work on regularly. I would be climbing walls. Even with all of that I am still staring at that wall. That is what happens in the winter, I remember to tell myself.

Spring is coming, eventually.

Which brings up all sorts of questions.
