Thursday the 9th
I really don’t know anything for sure. The old adage is that what is for sure is death and taxes. I might add that we all have “free will” given to us via our Creator. I am not quite sure where I am going with this train of thought.
As we age we maintain that ability of living with “free will.” Out of respect for the joy of achieving old age we don’t want it snuffed away from us. I see it every day with Dennis. Dennis lives by the letter of the law, never out to hurt anyone. When Dennis has his mind made up, I honor it. Why wouldn’t I? He does nothing to put us or how we live in harms way. He has worked hard when he was able. Now with his 90th birthday coming this fall, he is still his own man, still having a say in every day life.
I think I can say for both of us that we like being independent . . . together.
If I see the choices of “free will” in Dennis, I would like to have that seen within me also. I am not reckless. I am cautious. I am still my own person. As I, we, get older I, we, still acknowledge that respect is to be afforded us.
In my heart, I knew where I was coming from with this post . . . did you?
With that I will take my leave. ♥
