In the autumn of our life, we think on life's many lessons learnt, mainly by getting it wrong at first, I remember a quote of a friend of mine "Americans first try every other way before finding the right way" ... he was an Australian, their well known for their 'tell it like it is' - having a less than diplomatic way with words! Actually I found I'm a bit like that Auzzi too! Anyhow, here I am in England in the UK, retired after my 49 years of working life (I finished school at 15) a lot of the time seemed to be a bit of a rat-race, now it seems I need to think about spending some quality time with the limited time I have left, I guess I'd be blessed if I still have more than 10% of my life left now I'm 65!
I don't particualy want to think of death, so I'll deal with that another day!
But I like the quote from comedian/writter; Spike Milligan, when asked what he'd like written on his tombstone, he said just write "I told you I was ill"!
I had a near death road accident when I was in my late 30's and it makes you more aware of life around you, the beauty of colours in the all natural surroundings, Sky, Plants, Creatures, people, and so many things.
At the age of 47 I found Christian teaching the true meaning of love in a life, and at 65 I continue to have a hope and a direction, being led by the Lord of my salvation, Jesus, to be a keeper of the faith and share my many blessings with others in this Wonderful Life we have been given, thanks God.

Life's Dreams #2.
When I was a boy I would get "Falling" dreams and wake up thinking I'd fallen out of bed to the floor, which I believe are quite common, here are two more recent dreams that I'm still puzzled about whether or not they have "Meaning" to?
1. In one dream that I remember repeated a visual image of a City in devastation, I'm with a small group running through streets and buildings, then an open space towards a bridge looking structurally like the Sydney Bridge but smaller, I climb the "Arc" of the bridge as the middle has broken away, only I can't get a grip due to the oily/greasy surface, the others are waiting for me to go forward, then a armed crowd come rushing at us.... I always awake a this point.
2. In the second dream, I am in a small village, at a "T" junction, on one side of the street are some shops, houses, and a small Pub/Hotel, the other side is a sign post to the road going uphill, away from the village High Street alongside an open field, there's a small group of people and a leader discussing something together, looking around,towards the hill,the field and the village, at sometime they are also outside the Hotel. I find myself floating slowly upwards, along sides the wall of the Hotel, getting higher, as I'm reaching the roof guttering I try putting my leg out to reach a foot hold on the roof ledge, but it's just too far!
The story gets blurred from this point.
So any idea? What does it mean? ... if anything!
