Ea'cii though lots of people think of me as an easy-going, happy-go-lucky, ne’er-do-Avell, they don’t knoAv that the secret of successful life is not money, and the comforts and luxu ries that money can bring, but the ability to enjoy the simple things of life, and the realization that one’s life has been fnll. Being in a jtlace like this, AA'here there is nothing cer tain, I can look back and see that I liaA-e really enjoyed liA’ing—even the mishaps I might have had from time to time, Avere living, living the Avay freedom-loving people should IRe.' Living, not for yesterday, not for tomorroAv, but just doing Avhat the day brings, and living it as it might be the last day. “In a place like this one cannot very Avell get aAvay from the reality of life, nor can one forget the things left unfinished and Avish for an op portunity to clear up unfinished bus iness and hope tomorroAV Avill present the opportunity. “The sun is going doAvn noAV, OA'er a deep blue hill, just like the one behind the lake.
