Give it away to keep it

My friend Jim C. has been sober for 35 years. He lost both legs to diabetes. He gets around with prosthesis and a walker. Two weeks ago he fell and broke his hip. Being confined to his house has him real squirrely. Four guys and myself are going to see him this afternoon. We'll have a meeting at his place. He really needs one. That's a quote my his wife. He only has a few people from the past who knew him. Years ago he was a powerful voice in our area. I have not seen him for a while. I know he'll be glad to see us all. I'll come home feeling on top of the world. That's the effect one gets from giving of yourself. A few hours, a few words, hand shakes and a hug. Life is simple. I love mine.
