A Time To Think –
A reflection. Arresting. Resting. Determining priorities. What is really important? What is a distraction? What is a hostage? A life taken. A life disrespected. A lack of appreciation for the life you have.

When you think of the word “successful,” who’s the first person that comes to mind and why?
a good neighbor
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 something to try for the first time
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 first time you really felt like a grown up
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.

When was the first time you really felt like a grown up (if ever)?
a million dollars to give away
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?
