Child’s Dream

When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up?

I wanted to drive big trucks. I lived near highway 27 in Florida. In the middle of an orange grove. I grew up with elderly parents and very few contacts with other children. I loved the sound of the big trucks at night with the changing of gears that were soothing to my ears. Thinking back, it may have been a symbol, an instrument, or vehicle to escape the loneliness I may have felt.

Stop Being Macho

What strategies do you use to maintain your health and well-being?

For the past twenty plus years I have had a Primary Doctor, Dentist, Dermatologist, Ear, Nose, Throat (ENT), Opthomologist, Podiatrist, Urologist, and Gastrointestinal Doctor. I visit them twice per year or when they suggest. I strive to follow their instructions. Yes I could lose a few more pounds. I am working on it. The things I can not change, I change how I feel about them. I try to do a good deed for someone else each day.
