Post-Travels Notes

Post-Travels Notes:

Whether we consciously admit it or not, the fact remains that our lives sadly are coming to an end. The end will come sooner for some than for others. Some of us stoically are preparing ourselves for the demise of our existence while others cling to some myths foisted upon them since childhood for solace and comfort. 

In this twilight of our lives, love and friendship take on a special significance because they are the succor that lessens the agony of the rapidly approaching extinction of our lives. Our trip was a success because there were many moments of true love and friendship in which we shared jokes, laughter, merriment, and tidbits of gossip. A proof that the trip was a success is that there has been a talk of planning for such a reunion again before infirmity or illness sidelines us. 

The days spent in Madrid after the cruise were truly memorable. Life, especially in its twilight, is mostly nothing but memories, and then we breathe out our last breath and leave everything and everybody behind. 

May each and every one of us enjoy good health, peace and prosperity in many years to come.
