For 50 years, NASA has been “suiting up” for spacewalking. In this Feb. 7, 1984 photograph of the first untethered spacewalk, NASA astronaut Bruce McCandless is in the midst of the first “field” tryout of a nitrogen-propelled backpack device called the Manned Maneuvering Unit (MMU).

My Comments: Simply amazing!
He chose me.
Whenever I thought of ending it, and later, of leaving, it all came back to that thought: he had chosen me.
Abuse takes many forms, and it is not always physical. If I had known that beforehand, maybe I would not have been so excited to be chosen.
We had met over a holiday one year in a usual way of small towns: it was afterhours and we both knew the manager of the local bar. Like puppies sniffing pockets for treats, we would turn up at closing time for free booze until dawn.

My Comments: Really well written piece – emotionally deep…
Cristiano Ronaldo is a three-time winner of the Golden Shoe, given to Europe’s best scorer, and he’s a leading contender for this year’s honor. The Real Madrid superstar recently showed again that he has a heart of gold, as well.
Shortly after a massive earthquake hit Nepal, killing an estimated 8,000 people, Ronaldo took to social media to ask fans to donate to the Save the Children charity. However, he also put quite a bit of money where his mouth was — according to French soccer magazine So Foot, Ronaldo made a personal donation of 7 million euros, which works out to about $7.8 million.

My Comments: This act has erased every negative I have held against Ronaldo
I’m going to shed you, like a snake sheds skin…… because it’s a necessity for my growth, to be unrestricted, to become the fullest version of myself.
The dead weight must fall, to make way for the fresh and the new that serves to project and encourage my rebirth.
I’ll keep you for as long as I can, until I’m suffocated and it’s time to expand.
This is what’s most natural, most required, most vital to sustenance…
… a new skin, for my becoming.

“Money can’t buy life,” were Bob Marley’s final words to his son Ziggy.It can’t buy love either. Like anything worth our laughter, tears and sweat, it’s free and it’s been ours all along, since the beginning of beginnings and through all ends and new beginnings.So, shall we claim it?

My Comments: Reading about Marley again opens up new understanding of the man who has been mostly a mystery to me.
“Everyone suffers at least one bad betrayal in their lifetime. It’s what unites us. The trick is not to let it destroy your trust in others when that happens. Don’t let them take that from you.”
