Thoughts for the day
It looks like rain, but the weather
guy disagrees.
About a month ago I was set up for a tele-health
visit with my kidney doctor. The call didn’t come when expected, so I called.
They had no information about the expected call. Weird.
Our whole retirement group is back in
Flag, so tomorrow we will have lunch together for the first time in several months.
Looking forward to a great lunch and good conversation.
About 5 of years ago, Mary and Mike
adopted two small older dogs from a shelter. They came from the same home, but
the owner passed away. The one dog has had health issues the last few months…couldn’t
see very well, was almost deaf. The other was still spunky. When they went in
for their annual wellness check, the spunky one had an enlarged heart was only
had a few weeks left. The other was also incurable. They had to have both dogs
put down at that visit. It is hard for them, they were prepared to lose one,
but not both, at the same time.

Answer
Every
footstep taken leaves another footstep behind the walker. It'd be nice if candy
