I had also learned a lot of Indian ways and traditions during the summer our form gang (cement road building) of three worked together, only us three, for three months. <br /><br />It was an older and very wise Indian man, a young Indian feeling his oats, and me. After that I sometimes tell people that I have Indian blood. My freckles make those people wonder.<br /><br />Your last verse hits home, today I went to the doctor and asked (I said please) the nurse who weighed me if she would measure my height.<br /><br />"<i>older, wiser, lighter, <br />and restored to herself.<br />And she will begin again.</i>"<br /><br />I have lost one inch in height, a lot of it due I am sure to my osteopenia, two crushed vertebrae, and a discectomy/laminectomy. I am a mess but still alive (my very good friend, four years older than me, died two days after Thanksgiving Day).<br />..Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02982249173214655060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777854594703553858.post-3827601295889405812013-12-10T13:48:29.516-08:002013-12-10T13:48:29.516-08:00A perfect way to begin everyday, let alone this Ad...A perfect way to begin everyday, let alone this Advent season!
