We wish you...

Frankie:  "What's ya doin'."
Me: "Trying to think what to write about this morning."
Frankie: "Hmmm, how about, 'what's important in your...well...any body's life?  Family?  Friends?'"


Back and forth our conversation went..

Me:  "Health.  Wealth."

"Food on the table."   (Is that a dig, Frankie.)

Me: "A roof over our heads."

Frankie:  "Clean air to breathe."

"Furry companions."  (Ouch. Is that a dig, Sandy.)

Love, warmth in winter, cool breezes in summer.

Being able to see, hear, touch, taste, feel.

We began to get ridiculous, things went from what's important to what we 'wish we had'.  Millions of dollars, a jet plane, liposuction, face lifts, etc, etc.  Before long we were laughing our heads off.


Finally, the room fell silent.  It was almost as if the air got sucked out of it.  We were both lost in serious thought.


Finally, Frankie spoke.  "You know what I think is the most important thing in every body's life, and what I wish everybody had?  Enough!"


"Yep, just enough."


You're right Frankie, and we are wishing all of you...
...just enough.
