Something to cherish and savor.

Gotta admit. I’m not always smiling. Especially when learning about world events. I’m saddened. By so very many of the wretched happenings. The wars. The senseless killings. The political rancor. Nothing I can do about it. Other than lament. For a while. Inevitably, I get on with the nicer aspects of life. And find reason to smile. Over little things. A walk in the woods. Or along a seashore. Camaraderie with a few friends.  Time with my Italian true love. I remain glum for only a short time. Always finding something wonderful about life -- to cherish and savor. –Jim Broede
