Wealth is not material things nor money.

There are a few writers who make the whole world go away. It's been a rough. savage month. My JD lost it's transmission after putting nine thousand into trans repairs last year. The shop can't help, they are two months behind with JDs stacked out the door.
My window time frame of getting seed in the ground is closing. David is in ND harvesting wheat and loaned me his 4430 JD (big tractor). Overkill to pull a fourteen ft wheat drill but I was tickled pink for his offer and I used it. Finished up last week and I'm still unwinding from stress.

I needed Bru's story. It isn't only her stories but knowing she's still there doing her thing. It's like having a comfort blanket. Just knowing as I think of her. I read on the comments where a couple readers figured out the possible twisted ending. I just enjoyed the read. If big brother is as big as little sis claims then he will need to live his life vicariously via little sister.

The World’s six best doctors
Steve Jobs Died a billionaire at age 56. This is his final essay:
I reached the pinnacle of success in the business world. In some others’ eyes, my life is the epitome of success. However, aside from work, I have little joy. In the end, my wealth is only a fact of life that I am accustomed to. At this moment, lying on my bed and recalling my life, I realize that all the recognition and wealth that I took so much pride in have paled and become meaningless in the face of my death.

You can employ someone to drive the car for you, make money for you but you cannot have someone bear your sickness for you. Material things lost can be found or replaced. But there is one thing that can never be found when it’s lost – Life. Whichever stage in life you are in right now, with time, you will face the day when the curtain comes down.

Treasure love for your family, love for your spouse, love for your friends. Treat yourself well and cherish others. As we grow older, and hopefully wiser, we realize that a $300 or a $30 watch both tell the same time. You will realize that your true inner happiness does not come from the material things of this world. Whether you fly first class or economy, if the plane goes down – you go down with it.

Therefore, I hope you realize, when you have mates, buddies and old friends, brothers and sisters, who you chat with, laugh with, talk with, have sing songs with, talk about north-south-east-west or heaven and earth, that is true happiness! Don’t educate your children to be rich. Educate them to be happy. So when they grow up they will know the value of things and not the price. Eat your food as your medicine, otherwise you have to eat medicine as your food.

The One who loves you will never leave you for another because, even if there are 100 reasons to give up, he or she will find a reason to hold on. There is a big difference between a human being and being human. Only a few really understand it. You are loved when you are born. You will be loved when you die. In between, you have to manage!

The six best doctors in the world are sunlight, rest, exercise, diet, self-confidence and friends. Maintain them in all stages and enjoy a healthy life.”

Life is a gift. Treasure it until it's time to return it.
Hugs all
