Friday, Is it too late to HOPE?

 Picture of the day!:

                            Me and

             

1st..Victor… The Paradise you mentioned is in Massachusetts I hear.  This one is in Pennsylvania, famous for being close to Intercourse. Some Pa towns make out of state folks smile.

BUT for now:

WE all anticipate things. In the past few weeks I have been dizzying or ‘lightheaded’ whatever that means; but I still HOPE to be able to drive the short trip up to Pennsylvania in the near future.

Hope = anticipate, Confident,…. maybe it means DREAM also.

I hoped to get to see Ireland before now, but then I hoped to meet most of the folks in person, that I have conversed with on this internet. I had also hoped to meet Robert and Gina Liakoa who live in Athens.  After reading stuff from friend Victor, I even hoped to get to see him over in the UK.

Even you guys here in the USA, that hope would have been more likely to have come to pass.  Wish and Hope? They are not the same, right?  Because I did not pay attention, the few English lessons I had do not allow this simpleton to truly express himself.

MA says today (as I write) is Senior Citizen’s Day. I feel more senior EVERY DAY.  I have never had time for many aches and pains, I never expected to complain about arthritis like OLD people do, but now I cannot shut up, it seems. I guess I HOPED that would never be me. I tell Sherry (that sweet lady I sleep with most nights) I am getting old, she smiles at me like I am ‘simple’ and says, “HONEY, YOU ARE OLD!”

Well, that MAY BE TRUE, but I still HOPE to hike the Appalachian Trail before I get REAL OLD!  I also HOPE I can IGNOR extended family problems.  I HOPE  I will learn to work on problems I can fix . I am just realizing I cannot FIX problems I CREATE, much less the ones I DO NOT create. (I have found….. learned….  I can’t even fix some of the problems I create trying to fix a problem).

I ‘HOPE’ YOU CAN UNDERSTAND AT LEAST SOME OF THIS MESS.  LOL

Oh well, sometimes I think HOPE is hidden in a DREAM.

PS.  I HOPE you are a happy person and can just laugh at me…… Love from North Carolina…
