I Am happy even though I’m awake at 1:37 AM. Welcome my After Midnight Friends. I visited my Cardiologist yesterday for my yearly visit and after he reviewed my EKG and Echocardiogram and blood results test a big smile came over his face as he said “You are A OK everything is very good.” Few things make you feel better than great results from your physician. Doctors are remarkable people. They cure people as their profession. I have been very fortunate to have a few good doctors that have kept me alive and well over the many years. I can’t praise them enough. Tonight as I write this post I Am most grateful to the medical profession I have known over the many years. As I Am about to celebrate 72 years on earth I was told by my GP last year that he won’t retire until I Am 85. That is true encouragement.

Faith in God , good luck, and the will to live has kept me going and keeps me going in life. I hope this post does not discourage any of my readers because of their own health. I must say that my great faith in God and my will to persevere has brought me to this moment in time to recieve an “A OK” from my doctor and feeling great. Life is iffy all may change in a day, but yesterday and tonight I Am feeling great and wish the same for all my readers. I laughed with a Trumpian Friend of mine today who I lost a $20 dollar bet to over the presidential election. He’s been a friend and neighbor for over 20 years. He’s 81 years old and as hard headed as anyone can be, but I truely like the guy regardless of his politics, and I must assume he likes me. Regardless of our politics we can still remain friends and laugh at each other’s foibles. He pulled over his truck today in front of the Town Hall and called out to me as I was walking across the street. I crossed Main St. to talk to him and we laughed and caught up for 20 minutes or so until the police crusier beeped his horn because we were taking over his parking spot. Old friends and great doctors are blessings in life and make my world A OK. I wish all good luck and a good night.

Once upon a time I was a different man. Once upon a time I hitch hiked 600 miles from Maine to Connecticut as a 19 year old to meet my girlfriend who became my first wife, got a job, worked hard bought a condo, then my first house. I was married very young, but as I grew in age and experience and wealth I built a fine new home, drove a new BMW and had my own successful business as a real estate and mortgage broker through the 1980s. Then the great recession of the 1990s hit all the Savings and Loans banks failed, and the Real Estate industry went to hell with mortgage rates at 10 to 15% variable rates. I struggled for several years until it became impossible to sell a home even with over 100 listings on my books. No one was barely buying. All Commercial properties were going into receivership into the Federal recovery program of the RTC. All of my once wealthy investors were going broke as the value of their properties tanked loosing hundreds of thousands of dollars on once prime commercial and investment properties. I Am no longer in the business and have had a wild ride ever since. The last 30 years have been a rollercoaster ride but what a ride it has been. I have been married and divorced twice, had several blazing romances, made and lost a lot of money, created several businesses, survived an unknown illness with only 24 hours to live without emergency surgery. That was over 15 years ago and now I’m happy and healthy taking mile long walks daily and working out at the YMCA.

I Am not sure what inspired this message tonight but as I awoke from a dream I realized how unlucky I have been and how lucky I Am. I can only contribute my status today as a humble writer and website owner and 25 years as a broadcaster on radio, television and internet, with a world wide audience of thousands of readers, to having faith in God and myself to overcome the worst of the worst to the best of the best. I say to all my readers that if I can overcome business, health and relationship disasters and come back healthy and strong, and found and lived with my Soul Mate in romantic bliss for 21 years, before she suddenly and unexpectedly passed away, then anyone can make it with faith in God and themselves. I Am trying to present the pathway I have taken to be here after 3:00 AM presenting my past to the public so they too can have faith in God for all their blessings of the past, present and future. Life is a rugged road we must travel until we finally find our eternal rest.

I Am often indulging in irrelevant ideas and issues trying to bring forth a relevant idea to write about or picture to create. Tonight I see a thought that is no longer relevant to me but persists in my mind as a figment of my imagination. I was once captivated for several years in an unrequited love relationship until it became obvious to me I was wasting my time and heartfelt emotion, until I finally realized my love was not reciprocated. I announced my love passions to the world on this website and I still maintain my orginial Ascension Vision inspired by that love, which is still highly relevant to me. I appreciate the friendship that evolved and the unconditional love that I became aware of and my remarkable spiritual awakening that occured. It was a good experience.. As I get along in my life I find the need to shed old thoughts and emotions and relationships that are no longer relevant to me. That is the essence of our existence as we live we grow and appreciate our relationships until they leave us as we leave them. I have honestly forgotten more than I remember as I leave hurtful thoughts and send them into the oblivion of Irrelevance. The emotion of love is always relevant and the fine full pleasant emotion of loving someone is always a pleasure to remember but, once the love affair is over it falls into the realm of irrelevance, and we realize it is no longer important.
