A Necessary Ingredient –
A watcher who cares. Picks up the newspaper when you are gone. Will not allow their dog on your lawn. Will not leave their garbage can out on the street. Will wave when they see you. Will not leave their garage door open. Will put their car in the garage. Little things mean a lot.

A Could But Won’t And Why –
A list: A hot air balloon. A cruise ship. An electric car. A heart procedure. A hearing aid. A smart phone. All my life I have chosen the safer and cheaper option. Never the first and often the last to try something new. Dance with the girl you brought.

A Definition –
A reason why we are here. Answer the question. If you can’t or won’t, you fail the test. Can you get along?

A Great Question –
A second grade situation. My sister was in kindergarten and for some reason a nun asked me to walk her home which was almost a mile. I had two older brothers in school and don’t know why they weren’t asked. On the way a car stopped to offer us a ride. My sister ran from the car. I hesitated to see if I could recognize the driver and ran toward my sister when I didn’t.

A Recipient To Receive It –
A charity that is not involved with social justice. Is it possible? I think not. A credit union may be the best way to get money to those who need it but are not just looking for a handout. I would give it to those who won’t just give it away but will loan it to those who need it.

A Something Attempted –
A trip to Constantinople. The capital of a Christian Empire that lasted a thousand years. Is it still there? Can a name change hide it so it can be found no more at all?

A Three Year Project –
A loss of 35 pounds. About a pound a month. Start with two boiled eggs a day. Two beers a day. Oatmeal, apple, carrots, and cauliflower. Stop eating and drinking at noon. No bread.

A Beautiful Creation –
A sight or sound. A musical. Song and dance. Gilbert and Sullivan for The Pirates of Penzance. Andrew Loyd Weber for so many great musicals. The most beautiful thing I ever read? “To live in the hearts we leave behind is not to die.” by Thomas Campbell.

A Movie On YouTube –
A movie that is almost as old as I am. So many movies are so dark you can’t see anything. Cheaper to make. The day is so long I need to rest my body and mind long before I am able to sleep.
