For the New Year

This is dedicated to all the good people in my life; at first I considered not to mention any names simply for the fear that I may leave one out but in the end I did decide to name two because I want all of you to meet them; the rest of you will know who you are.

 The first one is one of my email Friends name of John.  He is an unassuming man of great intellect, a razor sharp wit and possesses the amazing ability to analyze, or I should say to separate, the few good things that flow through the Internet from the rest which is mostly nonsense.

 He often passes his wisdom on to me and I received this from him a few days ago.  Please, it is very precious; read it with great care and look at the date and place of origin.

 I thought it was a gem; no, a precious stone will be a better description; a rare diamond it is indeed.  It’s a wonderful story; just what I needed the day I received it from him.  People make life too complicated by being too clever and miss the beauty in the process.

 John sometimes does an analysis of things.  This time he just put my name and email address in and the link.  I didn’t need anything more and he obviously thought the same.

 Then I am blessed to have got to know Denise, a grandmother from NYC suburbia but who works on Central Park in the city.  We pass things on to each other when a friend is needed to share something; sometimes we just say hello.  She is a precious diamond; no other ever found in the ground equals her pureness or quality.

 You will find John at:

 And if one of you other folks all of a sudden get this Post in an email it won’t be because I am soliciting comments; it will just tell you that I feel the same about you too.

 Happy New Year in 2011.
