5 years ago and 10 years ago and 20 ... and even 50 years ago ...
... full of many life adventures .... and places .... and people.
I smile looking back at it all and am grateful.

Sometimes they all seem like it was just yesterday I was there ...
... yet it also seems like an eternity ago
... and I wonder ... was it really real or was it all but a dream.

And I certainly remember those special moments of each ...
... and those challenging and difficult lessons learned
... so many lessons about what love and life were all about
... and of my amazing achievements that often surprised me.

And here I am today knowing well I am in my final go-around ...
... with not much left to learn at this stage in my life
... only to take what I've learned and continue to practice them
... and share these lessons with those who are interested
... to perhaps hear about my unique (and not unique) lessons
... my personalized set of Life's Silent-Knowings.
