Greetings, sir!

I'm here as a fellow member of PPC6 *Smile*

Ah... You make me feel chipper and optimistic. I often tend to have a sour outlook on life and the past. Indeed, the poem I wrote for the ongoing 48 Hour Media Prompt Challenge seems to have gone out of its way to be grumpy and cynical, when tasked with the idea of talking to old Father Time *Think*

But then I see people who have lived long and interesting lives, who have suffered and matured and learned from their mistakes, who know what the inside of a hospital looks like, who know what grief is, and I feel as though I'm grumbling about a mere dream. How can I complain that I have no happy memories? I do have them; they just don't look the same as the ones others have. You remind me of how much more living I have left to do, and my responsibility to make it meaningful so I have something to look back on that I can be proud of.

You have such a way with poetry, lending this a gently autobiographical feel with the wistfulness of a life arcing to the end of the rainbow. I hope your day is filled with peace and love. *Hug1**Smile**Hug2*

Take care, thanks for sharing, and keep writing *WingL**Heartv**WingR*
