Or, would it be somewhere the sun shines and the birds sing, and the poets wax eloquent.
Sadly, today, I am a shut-in. Bum knee.
But tomorrow, tommorrow, there’s always tomorrow. It’s only a day away.

At first I thought “Oh, the past”…Then “No, the future”…
Then it occurred to me that I am probably exactly when&where I need to be…like it or not.
I don’t claim to understand it, but I think we are meant to be where we are at the time. Go figure.

I used to think that I wanted to live in the early 1800.Then I thought hell I probably wouldn’t have lived past puberty.I had pneumonia then.The era still holds my attention when I see a show about that time.

I’ve thought about that recently ,because I have not been working because of a hip operation. Now I think right now is ok with me.I’d probably have a locked up hip if or worse if I lived any other time in the past.

It seems to me that we are loosing more and more of our freedom as time goes by. Also I value empty spaces,no people,and they are getting harder to find.I think that will be worse in the future.

It’s this or Oprah.
