Ben McNally has the finest book store in Toronto… Ben responded to my suggestion that it was a nice day.

” At my age every day is a nice day. ”

Ben is not much older than me and I too have arrived at this conclusion.

Ah… the moments that make up a good day!

” I’m not smart enough to even think about that. ”

The M.I.T. Professor’s reaction to where we go after death.

Reading books triggers me… and every now and then a book rocks my world in unexpected ways!

Many Lives, Many Masters is doing this now. Before that, The Power of Myth… Before that, Proverbs.

Not just to the information in the book, but dormant memories of something long forgotten or experienced and lost in that quagmire of time.

This is my pathway to riches.

What other pathways am I missing??For you can fill libraries with what I don’t know.

The summer I was 9, I was in a coma for 2 days following a fall from a railway bridge…

I woke up in a darkened hospital hallway, naked under a hospital gown, with no memory of where I was or how I got there.

It’s taken north of 50 years for me to give any thought about where I was for those 2 days; when others wondered about whether I would live or die…

After I awoke… people talked about miracles and angels.

Perhaps I needed the rest?

I am reading about someone’s experiences with past lives…

Trying to keep an open mind.

Childhood seems like a past life to me.

I waited for her in the early darkness.

She appeared and I asked how she was.

” I just had a terrible nightmare.” She said.

“Well you’re safe now.” I replied and wondered if that was true.

I thought of John the bike courier who once said, “Life is a dream… when you wake up, you’re dead.”

I drove us into the darkness.

On a good day… I’m ill tempered and cranky when in the company of others.

I can handle it long enough for a meal and quickly pay the bill and force smile goodbye.

I am never lonely or in a bad mood by myself…

I accept this as the gift it is.

Why such importance for a game?

Win I’m thrilled, lose I’m devastated!

How did this become so important?

I’m not even playing!

Time to rethink this…

Joe shared today he was 6 months sober

I remember my 6 months like it was a lifetime ago…

My first homegroup had members who were fond of telling newcomers that the first year was the most difficult year of your life.

I told them that anyone who would say that hadn’t experienced year 2…

All the best Joe! One day at a time…
