@1hopefulman No, we had no children. We have worked together and traveled together all our life and we decided to be only the two of us.

Yes I do appreciate life, mine and others. My family is complicated but I try to enjoy time with them. Skip #3. Yes I do have a wonderful friendship with God. I enjoy everything about nature, I love being outside.
My job makes me happy, God provided me with this wonderful way to make a living, I take care of people and I provide them with a home, no matter how rich or poor.
How about you? Answer those questions for me.
Happy New Year!

@andriaperry The "special" someone is every good person that comes in my life as they are all special.

@1hopefulman I think it's the little things in life that make us happy. Things that we normally take for granted.

I have very few relatives, and they are far away - so I have to rely on friends and God of course..
I love to tell about the good news we find in the Bible and also share what I have learned about how to keep healthier..
Also the site jw.org.. and good friends I meet on our place of worship keep me alive..

God, some good friends and some enjoyable activity is very important to a happy and satisfying life. Do you ever see or talk to your faraway relatives?

I do appreciate life and my large family and my grandbabies, a very few friends in the "real world" thou. Being outside, reading, still being able to garden, going on walks or hiking in the woods. Being able to enjoy the small things like my flowers and watching animals too. Mylot is another big one.

No new revelations there but I still appreciate your comment.
Here it is minus 30 Fahrenheit and I'm sure it makes you happy that you are not vising Montreal at this time of the year. I hear it's cold in Florida as the iguanas are falling off the trees because of the cold. What is the temperature today?1 person likes this

@Hannihar I think that more important than where we are, it is what we are that will help us be closer to G-d. G-d is close to those that follow his commandments and love him from the heart and also love their fellow man.

I am more curious about life all the time, the meaning behind the whole show.
I want to explore on my own than be led by what others say though I am keen to know about their take.
I believe our creator is in his creations, and all experiences are for the good.
I believe the most unappreciated part of our daily life is nature - siva
