I'M THINKING

of writing a book called, "I'm With Ponce: How to Cope Better with the Challenges of Aging."

And as soon as I have figured out how to do that I will start writing!

I kind of like Voltaire's comment: "Life is a shipwreck, but we must not forget to sing in the lifeboats."

A WORTHWHILE QUOTE

"Peace is the result of retraining your mind to process life as it is, rather than as you think it should be."

—Unknown

I believe it is talking about peace of mind.

TO MY JEWISH FRIENDS

A healthy new year for you and yours.

Bye for Now,

A SAD DAY

to remember the horrors that happened all those years ago. Time fades the sharpness of the memory but not the ache that accompanies it.

The pictures of the falling buildings are permanently tattooed  onto my brain and yours as well.

Prayers for those who lost their lives and their loved ones on 9/11/2001. Their names are engraved in the base of the fountains at the memorial park and forever etched in our hearts.

Bye for Now,

Bill

ThE GREEN BAG

In NYC and left the green bag filled with all of our granddaughters prized possessions in a cab. No money value but much emotional currency

My hope was the cab driver would bring the bag back as he dropped us off at our hotel. But hey, this is the big apple!

Yet he seemed to be a mensch and also seemed taken with our granddaughter 

So my wife was busy filling out a lost report for taxis which turned out to b a bogus site that charged $50, I was busy wondering why my mind allowed that to happen.

Sure enough the phone rang and the front desk indicated a cab driver with a green bag was downstairs A reward later my wife returned with the bag in question  

Good thing as my granddaughter had previously said " I loved my green bag and all my friends!" Can an almost 3 year old already be  a guiltifying "Jewish Mother?

The moral of the story is there are good people in the world--even in the big apple--even among cab drivers!

Bye for now

Bill
