Time is money. Hurry up, dollar waiting on a dine. No breaks on this job.
Quick, grab something you can eat on the run.
Hurry, hurry, hurry.
Those were things I heard everyday from my father.
From my mother I heard, straighten your hair, there is a spot on your shirt, go change. always have on clean underwear, you never know when you
might have an accident and go to the hospital. You wouldn't want the doctors and nurses to see dirty underwear.
My elbows have been well programed to not attempt putting them on the table when I eat for fear of the heavy handle of a knife hitting them.u
I was sent to finishing school twice when I was young because I didn't cooperate the first time I went. Do not cross your legs at the knee, cross
then at your ankles to the left or the right.j
Everything in my life had to be perfect. That was totally against my inner core of being.
It is no wonder I tuned out, tuned in and turned on to a very different life in 1965 when I was 18. Didn't finish my first year of college before I
found myself in Piedmont Park in Atlanta , Ga burning my bras and panties.
I had found utopia, peace, life and was so happy to be free of the bonds of commerce and money.
My parents built an empire which my brother and I worked and finally inherited upon their death.
We immediately set out to sell everything that was left except our homes. We sold businesses, property and are still trying to sell the remainder of
the property my family has amassed.
Neal Kramer's words could easily explain how I have felt about life.
But how could we have lived and survived if everyone felt the way he described?
The buck stopped with my brother and I. We saw no need to add to my families empire. We hated forced work doing what we had to do to help our
parents gain wealth and prestige.
We retired as quick as we could sell the business we inherited.
Time means nothing except when one of us have an appoint with a professional person that is necessary.
Days run together. Who cares what day it is? Time really is not important.

I'm happy now when outside watching my garden grow or seeing my dogs chase their tails.
Now, Life is but a wondrous dream.
