    Thank you for your word of wisdom. My husband is wonderful and I know I shouldn't feel guilty but I went from being healthy as a horse to sicker than a dog. He is strong and I know he will always be my rock. It is truly hard to go 28 yrs perfectly healthy then turn around at age 29 and just be sick. So far everything right now is good and I do plan on keeping it that way. May god bless you and keep you safe.

    My reflection Of John Lennon. R.I.P Love to you John..Lynn

    To me, John is a spirit who lives with me each day,
    and he holds my hand and teaches me how to live in peace and
    be a better person. He guides me to love nature, the environment, myself and my fellow human being. Through his brilliant mind,
    I've learned what kind of person I want to be,
    and to me he is the true meaning of an artist. He will never
    fade as being my all-time favorite song writer and musician.

    Imagine

    Imagine there's no heaven, it's easy if you try,
    No hell below us, above us only sky,
    Imagine all the people, living for today.
    Imagine there's no countries, it isn't hard to do,
    Nothing to kill or die for, and no religion too,
    Imagine all the people, living life in peace.
    You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one,
    I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will be as one.

    Imagine no possessions, I wonder if you can,
    No need for greed or hunger, a brotherhood of man,
    Imagine all the people, sharing all the world.
    You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one,
    I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will live as one.

    Let us honor our greatest singer-songwriter
    and the most influential political artist of the 20th century
    with an International holiday every October 9th and December 8th.
