Real life is as you live it. No matter how much humans can ignore Nature, Nature wins in the end even if we are wrecked as a species and the Earth with it.
I have only 5 priorities in my life and they are (in no particular order) life itself, my health, my family (including about 1,000 brothers and sisters, mostly fellow-vets), my freedom and my faith. These are the only things worth living for, fighting for or dying for.
.
Everything else, fame, fortune, position, rank, power and all those other impostors are trash.
Our porch swing is on our 3rd floor roof patio, overlooking the barrio. We don’t need television to be entertained – the daily drama and comedy of the calle is exciting enough.
Between all various plants on the patio, the plethora of bright ( and not-so-bright ) colored birds that serenade us, and the view of the mountains, we could be in the country instead of the city.
At night, with the cool breezes and clear, starlit skies, life is definitely the winner !
My porch swing looks out over my driveway and to the woods beyond. A nice place to sit watching fireflies, and sometimes even thunderstorms like we had last night here in Kentucky.

Sadly, nowadays, reality ISN’T what it used to be.

Now if everyone had such a nice place to live, real life would be a winner for them too.

Real Life. The reason I spend so much time reading the funnies.

The only thing that really matters here is the quality of the woman/partner sharing it.
