Knowing how to give...and receive.

I peck away. At life. Doing little things. That make for an enjoyable existence. For instance. Today. Visiting my Alzheimer-riddled friend Ron. And taking him outdoors. To breathe fresh air. And to stimulate him. Mentally. Physically. And now. It's late evening. And my cat Loverboy is curled up. Next to me. Dosing. Purring. Taking his turn. To stimulate me. Mentally. Physically. Yes, every day. I know how to give...and receive. --Jim Broede
