The Joy of Watching Others Living Life


       Last week I had a fabulous time in Miami. While there I soaked in the sun, took dips in the pool and the ocean and just enjoyed the night breeze. I certainly was not alone in my enjoyment. One day as I was walking to the beach, I saw a older gentleman and his wife on the boardwalk. They were headed to the beach but it took him some time because he was on a walker and moving very slow. I watched them for some time as he slowly made his way down the steps and then the many steps across the sand to reach the water. It seemed to be such an ordeal for him but he still did it because he must have really wanted to see the beach and enjoy it the best he could. His wife was right by his side every step of the way and once they were done they made the trek back up through the sand and onto the steps and the boardwalk. The man didn't let his circumstances keep him from enjoying the beautiful sun and beach.

       Later that night, I was at a party for one of the candidates running for the bar association president.  I noticed an older couple there who were using scooters to get around. When one particular song came on which must have been from the 70s era, they rose out of their scooters with canes in hand and were doing the gig with no cares in the world. Once again, a couple enjoying life to the fullest. When I looked at these couples, I felt joy inside for them and glad that they were enjoying their life. We all have some circumstances or issues to face but it is how we handle them that makes the difference.

ENJOY LIFE ALWAYS!!!!!!!!!!!
