Someone just sent me an e-mail actually that person sends me about five a day-I can hardly keep up with them but I decided to open at least one today. It was all about John Wayne telling why he loved America. He talked about so many of the beautiful Cities Natural landscapes and wonders that lie acrosss this America. As I watched it unfold I said to myself "Well I have been to so many of these 'places' . How fortunate I have been. I thought about the first time that I saw Niagra Falls-by the way-believe this or not as I was just writing the words Niagra falls the T.V. said --" and if you have ever seen the awesome beauty of Niagra Falls " saying the word Niagra just as I was writing it. Anyway Niagra Falls --stunning-- beautiful -overwhelming almost transported to a different dimension when you stand under the Falls or go on the Maid of the Mist-- an experience you will never ever forget, But the point being this as I am 'wrapped' up in the pursuits' of my life-the cancers that my family faces the Prayer Group the battles with Hypoglycemia, which most of the time I lose, but always back to fight again. I am in those ,'moments'. I am there not just for me but for other people who I care so deeply-so very deeply for. I thought-'Wait a mionute. That journey I made. The Grand Canyon-Yosemite-the California Coast the Sequoias - the Canadian Shore-- and much --much --much --more.
I want my kids to go off on that same journey. Fill thir memory banks to overflowing Soak all they can into their lives. Smiles and thrills and excitement round each curve. Go stand in front of the Sequoias -cross the Golden Gate Bridge-look at Yosemite in wonder and awe-see the Pacific Ocean and the unparrelled beauty of that coast-look at the stupendous expanse of the Canyon- stand among the awesome Pines of New Hampshire. Well I could go on and on and on and on..
I want my children to do just that and more.
Take and make 'journeys'.
I forgot all of that and I sincerely apologize. I got lost in the day to day and trying to find ways to 'to cope and survive' but they must have their own 'journey'. Bring the memorys home and take them straight to the 'Memory bank'. Deposit them , for them to have, for the rest of their life.
Then 'when all is said and then done' they can sit back and put their 'feets' up on the rocking chair in the old folks home and reflect .
I know-- I know that all people or peoples can not or are not fotunate enough to go on journeys-I know that and wish it could be otherwise but those that can 'must'
Happy Journey to all of you.
