There was just a quiet knowing, a peaceful assurance that came from within. Perhaps it was born of sorrow. But whatever the case may be at such a young age she had already learned the lesson of how to be. I loved her.Judith Ellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04593319882150923231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7209091428880958270.post-62681768237417822352009-07-10T09:45:07.138-04:002009-07-10T09:45:07.138-04:00Always look for the best in the situation!

You need to live in the moment and enjoy life for what it is and what you have. <br /><br />This women had a firm grasp on the concept. Judith, from reading all your posts it seems you do as well. Being a keen observer allows you to share some very interesting stories.Ryan Freedhttp://www.emergingtiro.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7209091428880958270.post-4036562901517997032009-07-10T00:47:32.099-04:002009-07-10T00:47:32.099-04:00Dave, my friend, thank you for your ever encouragi...Dave, my friend, thank you for your ever encouraging words. They are appreciated. Know that I value you. And, yes, "an open mind and an open heart are marvelous things indeed." I must say, as you well know also, that it takes work. I am forever looking for the love, even when I fall.Judith Ellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04593319882150923231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7209091428880958270.post-78156821638233300702009-07-10T00:43:30.149-04:002009-07-10T00:43:30.149-04:00Now, that's a position I would really enjoy! B...Now, that's a position I would really enjoy! But I'll have to freshen up on my foreign languages. I'm afraid that I'm losing them, having not spoken them regularly in more than a few years. But I did run into an African American woman in her mid 80's a little while back who had lived in Germany as a dancer for many years in Rite-Aide of all places and we spoke German. How did I come to know that she spoke German? She had a shirt which read in German, "Ask me if I speak German?" I did: "Sprechen Sie Deutsch?" I struggled initially in our 30 minute conversation but caught up after a while. She told me all about her years in German where she danced and taught there for some 50 years. What a fascinating life she had!Judith Ellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04593319882150923231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7209091428880958270.post-22053446300769109262009-07-09T23:33:30.130-04:002009-07-09T23:33:30.130-04:00Auntie Judith,
