Quote:
"If all the beasts were gone, men would die from a great loneliness of spirit, for whatever happens to the beasts also happens to the man. All things are connected. Whatever befalls the earth, befalls the sons of the earth." Chief Seattle of the Suwamish Tribe from a letter to President Franklin Pierce

The Continued Adventures of the Wolf and His Computer

 

 

Well, I finally have some success getting my life in pictures uploaded. And to think, a little less than a month ago, I was still at the starting gate with no idea where to begin. There were none of my photos anywhere in this computer and no idea how they would get there. I must say that most of the success I’ve had is in no small part thanks to a little girl in the Rocky Mountains, without whom I may have long since given up. She taught me a lot about it. But then, after each of many continued attempts and failures, she would find a way to encourage me to try again until I got it right..

She’s just one of a group of annoyingly happy friends I’ve met since joining this sight who seem to know what I need to hear to make me try again, or just to brighten up my day. There’s also my little indian princess and her husband Carl, who along with my Rocky Mountain girl and Jen seem to have figured out a way to write a smile into almost every word they send me. Then there’s the reverend Bill who when he’s not giving me a sermon on the virtues of Georgia football (Go TAR HEELS) ministers to my heart, and feeds me a laugh or two. There’s also another Patricia I wish to thank for the warmth she’s brought to my life also. I wish I could tell each of my friends how important they are to me and how much I love each and every one of them. Unfortunately, my vocabulary is too limited for that.

In case I don’t write another journal beforehand, I would like to wish everybody who reads this a Happy Thanksgiving this year. I know what I’m thankful for. I made it to fifty this year after being given up for dead so many times. My parents are both still here and celebrated their 51st anniversary in the same house they raised me and my brother in. And we’re as close as we have ever been. And now I’ve made several new friends who feed my spirit,  just by seeing their name on my message board ’cause I know they’ll put a smile on my face even before I read the first word. Each and every one of them. I love them all.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
