Earlier this year I met the most amazing man...I can't even recall his name, but I think it started with an 'S.' Something like Stough, or Spoll, or Swo...hmm can't think of it. Anyway, my friend had the most incredible outlook on life. He said to me, "You gotta keep it cool, friend. Look at me, I'm happy, smiling, and I have sticks for arms!"
I said to him, "You know, more people need to think like you. We take things for granted, like warm weather and the ability to walk, and here you are, all cool and collect with only pine cones for eyes."
We continued to hold arms until my dog snatched a pine cone from his face. It was fun while it lasted, but at least I know that I will live each day being grateful for having a healthy body and a healthy soul.
Thanks Mr. Slowman, or whatever your name was. I'll miss you.
