LEGACY
I RECENTLY FOUND A COMMENT ON MY JOURNAL THAT TRIGGERED MEMORIES OF A YOUNG LAD WHO HAS BEEN A PART OF MY LIFE FOR ABOUT 30 OR MORE YEARS .HE STILL SEEMS YOUNG; OF COURSE NEXT TO ME EVERY HUMAN BEING ON THIS EARTH SEEMS YOUNG. BUT THIS MAN, YES HE IS A MAN AND A FINE ONE.HE IS A LEADER; EVEN MORE IMPORTANTLY, HE HAS BEEN SUCH A POSITIVE INFLUENCE THAT MANY,INCLUDING HIS DAUGHTER HAVE ALSO EXCELLED IN THE SAME PROFESSION . MY DAUGHTER HAS MANY OF MY PECULIAR INTERESTS THAT RELATE TO MY WORK AS WELL. I MUST ADMIT THAT I SMILE WHEN I SEE HER PRACTICE THE POWERS OF LOGIC WHICH SHE HAS LEARNED FROM ME. ALL OF THIS HAS PROMPTED ME TO USE MY OWN LOGICAL APPROACH WHICH I NORMALLY USE TO EVALUATE VARIOUS SUBJECTS.THIS PROCESS RESULTED IN PROVIDING ME WITH SOME UNIQUE INSIGHT ON THE MEANING OF LEGACY.ITS NOT WHAT YOU OWN................ITS WHAT YOU LEAVE BEHIND THAT REPRESENTS THE CONTRIBUTION YOUR LIFE MADE THAT BENEFITED THE MASSES OR , PARDON THE LACK OF VANITY, THE WORLD. MOST OF US HAVE A LEGACY BUT WE DON'T DO MUCH IN THE WAY OF EVALUATION OF WHAT COMPOSES OUR LEGACY.WHAT IS THIS THING ?WELL I HAVE THE ANSWER. IT'S FRIENDS.THATS RIGHT!FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES WHO CARRY THE LIGHT THAT IS YOUR LEGACY WHILE CREATING A LEGACY OF THEIR OWN.IT WOULD APPEAR THAT WE ALL HAVE MULTIPLE THREADS WHICH ARE
CONSTANTLY YIELDING THE HARVEST OF OUR LIVES. THIS HARVEST IS REVIEWED BY MANY AND THE BEST IS TRANSPORTED TO A PLACE WHERE NEW LEGACIES ARE CREATED AND HARVESTED? THAT WHICH BEARS FRUIT, LIVES FOREVER . DOUG, THANK YOU FOR BEING A VERY IMPORTANT
PART OF MY LEGACY.YOU ARE A WONDERFUL FRIEND AND I AM A BETTER PERSON BECAUSE OF YOU.I LOVE YOU AND RESPECT THE LIFE YOU CREATED WHICH IS NOW BEING HARVESTED AND USED BY THOSE WHO CARRY YOUR TORCH.
I DISCUSSED THIS ENTRY WITH WALKING ELVIS, WHO TOOK TIME FROM HIS EXERCISE PROGRAM AND RENDERED HIS OPINION. "EL" IS VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT LIFE. HE SAID," A LEGACY IS MUCH LIKE ROCK AND ROLL". HE LOOKED UP AND WITH A TINY TEAR ROLLING DOWN HIS CHEEK,ADDED ,"ROCK AND ROLL WILL NEVER DIE":
ELVIS HAS SUCH A WAY WITH WORDS.
