In it, was was musing on the beauty with which our dog, Alan, would effortless romp through the snow, hiking with us, bounding around us, with great ease and unlimitted energy. Now he about 13, follows our tracks, and we have been known to carry him home when need be... And of course, we will for him. Dogs age more quickly than we do. It is a difficult lesson, but beautiful as well to learn the patience with care, and the appreciation, a bit of what goes around comes around...

Especially as one grows older. I no longer take for granted all the physical abilities that I once possesed. But, hopefully, those losses are partially offset by the wisdom gained over many years, and life activities are done with more appreciation. You have a nice way of expressing the thoughts of our souls, in a poetic gift to life. Al Gin,

Kind of like life. Especially as one grows older. I no longer take for granted all the physical abilities that I once possesed. But, hopefully, those losses are partially offset by the wisdom gained over many years, and life activities are done with more appreciation.

You have a nice way of expressing the thoughts of our souls, in a poetic gift to life.
