Now that I am an advanced age I (too) walk in the steps of those marvelous people who went before me:  Chronic, persistent feelings of —is that defeat? Depression? an underlying sadness?

So to overcome those feelings I go outside—looking for the gift that says: You are here, alive and blessed with the joy and wonder of this world.

I always come back inside, feeling warm, happy, and blessed.
