The things you ponder.....

Someone very dear to me gave me a present, ages ago. It was in a bag of other goodies and its a very simple thing. A drinks coaster.

It has that famous quote from Georges Sands above a too cute picture........:

"The only happiness in life is to love and be loved."

I have love for many but it seems that it is returned by few.

Who wants a man whose life expectancy is not terribly long?

The prospects for love do not seem to be huge.

I will remain open to the world, will force myself to do just that, striking out on my own on the water with nothing but a hull and a laptop for company in the hope that it may bring some perspective, some peace, some time for healing of all sorts.

Once my son has gone there will be nothing for me here.

A funny old life
