Down the Hall on Your Left

This site is a blog about what has been coasting through my consciousness lately. The things I post will be reflections that I see of the world around me. You may not agree with me or like what I say. In either case – you’ll get over it and I can live with it if it makes you unhappy. Please feel free to leave comments if you wish .

It Is Time

TIME PASSES. TIME ALSO ARRIVES. AND TIME HAS ARRIVED HERE.

This blog has been going since November of 2014 with well over 1500 postings of varying quality and meaning to be sure.

But now I feel that it is time to pull the plug. Today will be the last day for this blog.

I am tired. My mind is tired and my body is not as cooperative as it used to be. I feel unable to sharply observe the world around me and I don’t really have anything left to say.

To those of you who have been with me on this excursion from the early days – I thank you for your mysterious loyalty and the countless comments you have launched in my direction.

So, as I wrap up this chapter of my life, I urge you to love one another.Tell people that you love them. Hug them often. Don’t let them feel lonely.

Thank You and Goodbye.

John

    I am NOT checking above that I Like this Blog!! I don’t like it!! But…..some of your reasons for discontinuing after all these years, are, I’m sorry to say, Valid. Not all, but some. I will miss you, John Kraft, and the messages you prepared daily. Come back once in awhile, if aloud. We will be here, if aloud. 🙂 (You owe me a cup of coffee!)

    John!!! I have been missing your posts. Apologies that it took me this long to find this one. I am selfishly sad, as your writing is terrific and has meant so much to me. I wish you all the best, my friend.

      Jennie,
      I had the blog going for more than 5 years and 1500 posts…I was tired. Other things and people in my life were calling for my attention.
      I’m still writing but I am also getting back on stage doing standup comedy.
      I’m following your posts and enjoying your life adventures.

      John

        Thank you so much for getting back to me, John. I would hate to loose you. I completely understand why you backed off. You’re such a good writer, so please keep that up. I remember your posts about your acting. You are perfect for a standup comic!! Do you love it? Oh, I would love to be in the audience! I hope you post once in a while. Thank you for reading my blog and life adventures. Thanks for being a friend.
