I am VERY Rich…

Keep Karla and Karen in your prayers as they were layed off of their job and need all the help they can get...E & R


 


I may not have loads of money,


But my attitude I try to keep sunny,


Told I have a sense of humor, yes I am funny,


Glad too that not too often my nose gets runny…J


 


Rich I am in the best of ways,


I have Rene & Rufuz both as bright as the suns rays,


I have Onyx, our Lab/Rott mix & Dreamer our horse,


Four do love me and I them quite a lot of course…J


 


So I am rich but not financially,


I never did this circumstantially,


If I knew it was this easy to be rich,


I would have done so sooner & as possible substantially…J


 


So when you feel you have not got a penny,


Think of your family & friends so many,


I’d be willing to bet if you counted there would be more than twenty,


As long as I have these four, my life is full of plenty…J

Thank you for reminding me, in this wonderful poem, to count my blessings everyday. Some days I am guilty of going about my business and taking my good life for granted.

Friends are our true wealth. I sure relate, after losing my job too. And it's hard to survive on benefits but with our friends we can and do. It's prolly happened for a reason-opening new doors ect..
Nice one old bean..

Great write Ed, always love your down to earth humour, and humility mixed into a blend of REAL MAN.
I wondered where the Twins were, Dang, the tassie devil I sent didnt help them. If anyone is in touch please give them my love.
BTW, I am coming up as a reader, its totally annoying, as I paid my fee's but I have been downgraded to a reader!!!
Just wondering if the US mail is on holiday, or did it leave ozzie shores, getting worried ED, might need Rufuz nose to sniff it out.
Duchess is happy living with Robby my son, though I miss her.
Leila is a most beautiful Sheppie, Rufuz would be pleased to meet her LOL.
Hugs as Always

Riches through friendships and family are indeed the most important...that is until the landlord comes knocking on the door with the eviction notice. Unfortunately this world we live in is run by the mighty dollar and no amount of love and friendship is going to change that. I don't think it is really about being financially rich as much as it is about having enough to get by and I believe that is their fear...not enough to get by on and not a lot of opportunity for another job. I will keep them in my prayers as I do always and I will also hold on to the positive thought that for every door that closes another opens. Nice write, Ed! It is good to see you in such positive spirits...you been smokin' buddy???? LOL
