I was walking with my wife in the cool mountain air,
when all of a sudden, there she was.
A flash from the past.
My heart skipped a beat.
I squeezed my wife’s hand.
How I recognized her, I don’t know,
but it was her.
She was alone except for a child.
I was strangely relieved that she had someone.
Why should I care?
She broke my heart many years ago.
She is only a page in the book of my life.
I’ve had many chapters in my book since then.
My loving wife picked me up from that time.
She helped put me back together again.
So I quickly turned my head away.
My mind returned to my current life.
I gave my wife’s hand another squeeze.
There is no future in the past.
Howdy y’all. It’s me, ninong7 aka UJ aka John.
Just a short intro about myself.
I am a Texan that has retired in the Philippines.
I moved to the Philippines with my wife back in May 2010.
I am retired from the US Air Force.
The music I like is mostly Classic Country and Classic Rock.
I guess you can say I am a “Classic”.
I play dominoes when I can find someone that will play,
I play chess, cribbage, spades, hearts, Empire Builder, Rail
Baron, Acquire and quite a few other games.
I like to write poems and stories (although pretty novice).
I love learning about history, just about any history.
I’m at home on my computer a lot but if I could afford to, I’d
be traveling and documenting my travels to post in my blog.
I hope to get to know a lot of you through PeakD and Discord.
