Beautiful dreams, Bob. They hold a lot for all of us to think on, especially those of us without firm religious beliefs, who follow our own moral compass.

It's always good to hear from a gentleman such as you, who has seen so much. Take care.

Aw, really inspiring. Thanks for sharing that. <3

You have a philosopher's heart. I like reading your perceptions of life around you and how it reflects on you. Interesting indeed.

I enjoy dreaming too.

Your words always touch me and make me think. We are better people for you sharing your thoughts with us! Thanks Bob. Thinking of you often!

Thank you for your moving words...a real tribute to life. We all would be much happier if we could master the art of forgiveness. Sweet dreams, Bob.

I think one of the greatest things about your blogs and general comments is that they always make me think. This time i am thinking a lot... about my life and limitations; about my spiriuatlity and beliefs and about others. No one defines my morals but myself, but i have fallen into a habit of expecting others to have the same and being disappointed when they don't. You are a wonderful example of someone what has balance in their life and that leads to a kind of peace that can only come with understanding and acceptance.

I went through a period a few years ago when I faced the darkness in me, fought it for a while and then accepted it. Life has been richer since and, I think, I have been a better person... go figure.

I think that at your age you deserve a break. The disappointment of others is not an issue for you now. They know your situation and your limitiations. If they are relying on you then more fool them; they should know better. As I have told you before you have to live your life to your strengths and weaknesses and do what's best for you. If you need to work then work, but as soon as it stops fulfilling that need then pull back.

If the time has come to put on your slippers and take your pipe out onto the porch to watch the sunset then do it and to hell with anyone else... you deserve it.

Neph, what a nice comment twice.

But my mood is changing like the tide following the moon phases.

I dreamt a few weeks, and now I'm well rested . Day-dreaming will have to wait, work is in the spotlight again.

I cann't any more imagine myself in slippers sitting in a rocking chair and watching the sunset. The pipe is the only thing that suits me, unfortunately I had to promise my wife to slow down my smoking until I am clear about my cancer, that is, until October ! It only remains for me to smoke my pipe in secret, at my desk and in front of my PC-screen !

So the Old Bob is back again, strong and ready to conquer the world, at least for a few weeks, until he will disappear again .

As I said once, I'm a young old chap and my statistical life expectation increases day by day. "Provided it lasts" as the the roofer said, falling from the 147th floor of the skyscraper .
