We do keep track of our lives by counting the days, weeks, months and years, but maybe keeping tabs on numbers probably is a senseless chore. My life is a series of events and those events usually encounter people....family....friends. The true worth of ourselves is the richness given and taken from others. Some people have very short lives, but contribute an old person's lifetime of wonder, while some people reach the olden years but have nothing in the cupboard. Embrace your relationships rather than your possessions, because "things" disappear. Solid, meaningful and loving relationships tend to last far beyond the grave and it would seem to me a better way to have existed. Ralphy shown here is "only a dog", but his emotional impact on my family and friends will go on for years to come after he is not with us anymore. His love is what makes him such a noble individual. As a person, I hope my impact, like Ralphy's, will be just as meaningful and wonderful. Don't underestimate the power of love, whether it is from a person.............or a dog. Happy New Year.
