An early start this morning had me finish my emails long before normal, a hundred a day, keeps the Doctor away, don't know so much about that, but it sure keeps one busy. With all the articles read, photos looked at and comments left on them all, I was at a loss for what to do next. An article maybe? Blank mind I'm afraid. What of a photo blog then? No, not in the mood.

Lets have a look at Face Book, and see what's on others minds. Joy and elation, my son that lives six hundred kilometres away, a comment entered late last night. Our youngest Grand daughter, at nine months had started to walk, seven steps she had taken and then stopped, standing, and wondering why her parents were applauding. The comments of good wishes and wonderment at the early achievements of this girl, had me thinking. She has to have inherited some genes of mine, what else could be expected if she shows a certain advanced achievement.

It then struck me, I had no idea what the expected age is for walking, could I remember when my children started? I could not, but everyone else excited so why not I? Further down the FB page was a note from a good friend of mine, “Don't grow up it's a trap” how profound, how true, and I thought of this nine month old child, growing up so quick.

Don't grow up, it's a trap my child, stay young and let Mom and Dad have the worries, how I wished I was still of an age that my parents had to look after me. I reminisced of my young days, how long ago they seemed, the lack of worries and understanding of the “big man's world”, oh what good days they had been. Ping, the sound of my in-box, quick look, an article from Wayne, like his penmanship must take a read. A sportsman that's suspected of taking his own life. Damn, that's not good news.

The mind thoughts go to the whys, and the feelings for the family, confusion to what was behind it and the reasoning of the young man's mind. Why, why, why the mind screams out, surely some one could have helped, if he had only spoken, maybe a life could be saved. A shoe in to the Hall of Fame, expounded Wayne, this is such an honour I thought, what a crying shame.

Back to face book I went, hoping to forget, and what was the next thing that jumped out at me? Kyle, with the following entry, “Don’t fear the unknown, rather fear what will happen if you don’t discover the unknown. Make sense?” What a way to start the day, an article written in fifteen minutes, before I forget what I wanted to say, and a damn statement that is going to rattle around in my head for the rest of the day.
