Hi Susan, Very good on your necklace reminding you of your health and happiness of whatever you want it to remind you of. Yes, i think that would be a good idea and everyone could take part in.
Now saying that, i would like you to hear what my choice is... I needed a new watch and when Shelly (my wife of 41 years) went on a cruise with me several weeks ago because it was right on our anniversary. We went to St Thomas and I bought her some very nice jewelry and she asked me what i also wanted. So not being a vain person i mentioned that it is okay i don't really need anything. But in my mind i did want a special watch that no one carried in St Thomas but i knew it was available in the U.S. It is a watch that looks like a bracelet with a black polished stainless band but you can't tell that it is a watch until you push a little button on it's side and then it's led's light up. Push once for the time, twice for date and month and three times for seconds. In fact i just purchased a second one in polished silver stainless. And do you know why i did it? Well they both remind my that time keeps going on and i am still alive every time that i push that little button on it's side. Now, am i unusual? Perhaps, but it is the thing that makes me really happy to know that is the reason that keeps me going... Unless of course the battery goes bad, and that is for what the second watch is for. 👋🖖 18's, Marty On Fri, Apr 21, 2017 at 9:51 AM, 'Susan Zimmerman' via CMLHope < cmlhope@googlegroups.com> wrote: > I am still here, too.
