She has always been a very positive influence on me in her outlook on life and her youthful enthusiasm for living.  I wanted to know what was her secret to &amp;ldquo;youthful aging.&amp;rdquo;  What were the life lessons she learned along the way that might help me with my own aging process?  For those of you who have followed my posts, you may have noticed that I like to highlight my friends.  I have done posts on the skills, talents, and abilities, or whatever moved me about some of my friends - and this post is just another example.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Dust If You Must</title><link>/posts/dust-if-you-must/</link><pubDate>Thu, 20 Aug 2015 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/posts/dust-if-you-must/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="https://photos.smugmug.com/Lateblooms/n-ZkfX3Q/2015/Dust-if-you-must/i-skPbRPR/0/LBDDh8gpLwjk7s3MCbmFZ64JGvrKLhMt9x6K6vvDN/D/House-Proud-001-D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="House Proud-001" loading="lazy" src="https://photos.smugmug.com/Lateblooms/n-ZkfX3Q/2015/Dust-if-you-must/i-skPbRPR/0/LBDDh8gpLwjk7s3MCbmFZ64JGvrKLhMt9x6K6vvDN/D/House-Proud-001-D.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The poem below is a new discovery for me.  I came across it on Facebook a few days ago and was fascinated by the insights that the poet, Rose Milligan, was able to present in these four stanzas.  I was curious to find out who she was but there wasn&amp;rsquo;t a plethora of information available on her.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dust If You Must&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dust if you must.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;But wouldn’t it be better,&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;To paint a picture, or write a letter,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
