the person in the mirror
When you get what you want in your struggle for self 
And the world makes you king for a day, 
Just go to a mirror and look at yourself, 
And see what this person has to say.

For it isn't your father nor mother nor wife, 
Whose judgment upon you must pass; 
The person whose verdict counts most in your life 
Is the one staring back from the mirror.

This is the person to please, never mind all the rest. 
For she or he is the only one that is always with you, 
And you've passed the most dangerous, difficult test 
If the person in the mirror is your friend.

You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years, 
And get pats on the back as you pass, 
But your final reward will be heartache and tears 
If you've cheated the person in the mirror.

Whatever we do, 
whoever we become, 
let's make sure that in the end, 
that this man or woman in the mirror is our friend.

i'm coming out (excerpt)
There's a new me coming out
And I just had to live
And I wanna give
I'm completely positive

Travel Plans in 2015

I have been in many places, but I've never been in Cahoots. Apparently, you can't go alone. You have to be in Cahoots with someone.

 

I've also never been in Cognito. I hear no one recognizes you there.

 

I have, however, been in Sane. They don't have an airport; you have to be driven there. I have made several trips there, thanks to my friends, family and work.

 

I would like to go to Conclusions, but you have to jump, and I'm not too much on physical activity anymore.

 

I have also been in Doubt. That is a sad place to go, and I try not to visit there too often.

 

I've been in Flexible, but only when it was very important to stand firm.

 

Sometimes I'm in Capable, and I go there more often as I'm getting older.

 

One of my favorite places to be is in Suspense! It really gets the adrenalin flowing and pumps up the old heart! At my age I need all the stimuli I can get!

 

I may have been in Continent, and I don't remember what country I was in. It's an age thing.  They tell me it is very wet and damp there.
