That's just really beautiful to me.<BR/><BR/>And my grandpa used to say, "If I wake up and read the obituaries and my name's not in it, I know I'm doing okay and I go about my business." Smartie, he was. <BR/><BR/>I say, as long as we wake up with our name written in the Lamb's book of Life, we're doing okay and then some. ;)<BR/>Blessings,<BR/>~Toni~Tonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10318409820949377086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36183952.post-90917642879188607602007-09-14T11:57:00.000-05:002007-09-14T11:57:00.000-05:00I read the obits every day, first thing.

It's kind of a morbid habit wouldn't you think but I do it. <BR/><BR/>Glad you got another Gold Wing! You enjoyed it so much and had some really good photograpy from your rides!

Then my beloved sister left me when she was 72. <BR/><BR/>Not being 'back home' I don't really know about school friends, etc., but it shook me to the core when I learned my cousin who is only 6 months older than I, is back in the hospital after having a throat blockage. He lost his larynx 11 years ago, so this scares me a lot.<BR/><BR/>I rest in the Lord knowing that He is in charge of my life.<BR/><BR/>XXOOChiquita Bananahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02933875287977285714noreply@blogger.com
