One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

"Amazing"? Been twice in Apt building struck by lightening that came through the skylight, blew the fusebox, Flashed Blue! throughout space- causeing my 1- 1/2 year old son to leap with somersault into my arms.
:) Hiked Mt Rainier, Himalayas, Petra😍 😘. Driven solo 800 miles straight, in 12 hours. Ridden a clunky old schwinn bicycle 60 miles in a day with camping gear.
Held an old man's hand,a child's hand, while each, crossed over to the afterlife.
Danced on beaches in120 mile typhoon winds.
Played Music with some transcendental musicians.😎🤗😘
