I had a shower that morning and did I thank God for it? I need to be more grateful.

My 5-pound toy poodle, Bella, sleeps in her bed on a blanket chest at the foot of my bed.

Predictably, at about 5 a.m., she jumps up and walks over me so she can get under the warm covers and snooze on.

We both enjoy that special time. I so missed her when I went to the retirement home, but Beth kept her for me.

NEWS REPORTS ANNOUNCED THAT 800,000 LIVES HAVE BEEN LOST TO COVID-19 IN THIS COUNTRY AND WITH THE NEW VARIANT, MANY MORE ARE EXPECTED. Daughter June and I meet for business discussions and just for a good visit each week. We sometimes get our coffee/tea and drive to a park and sit there for as long as it takes to transact whatever is on our minds. Other times we go to her home and share a visit with her husband Doug.

Those are special moments.

So, life goes on with crazy spins and great unpredictability. Here at home, we enjoyed the fireplace, homemade soup, visits with family and friends, loads of Christmas cards, and just being together.

My New Year’s wish is that you are enjoying the season, staying warm, and being thankful for the little things, which are really the big things in life.

down and wouldn’t even look at us. “Why in the world are you throwing rocks at Sharon? She’s a nice girl. You don’t treat her like that.” He mumbled something. “I can’t hear you, Lonnie. Look at me and tell me.”

Slowly he raised his head and looked at his Mama.

“I do it because I like her,” he finally said.

Silence — then Mama cleared her throat. I could hear a smile in her voice, but it wasn’t on her face.

“Lonnie, when you like someone, you’re good to them and you do nice things for them. Throwing rocks at someone doesn’t make them like you.”

“Sorry,” Lonnie muttered. Then he looked at me. “Will you sit by me on the bus on Monday?”

I didn’t know how to answer.

Mama squeezed my hand and I said, “OK.” It seemed like that was all he needed. I was never hit by another rock.

This memory makes me wonder: Why do people throw verbal,

emotional and sometimes even physical rocks at people? Might there be some secret “like” or yearning? Is there a discontent so deep they no longer hold respect or kindness as a priority?

Maybe it’s jealousy that blinds the thrower to a better solution? Whatever the reason, it certainly isn’t making our world better.

Rock throwers create anger, hurt, revenge and distance. These reactions are based in fear. They’re the response of self-protection. Maybe it’s time to climb out of our protective cocoons and take a closer look at our relationships.

We can change the world one person at a time by

putting into practice the words from Glenn Campbell’s song from the ’60s.

You’ve got to try a little kindness Yes, show a little kindness Just shine your light for everyone to see And if you try a little kindness Then you’ll overlook the blindness Of narrow-minded people on the narrowminded streets.

Jerry Aucutt gets a refill of coffee last week at Rosauers Supermarket in Lewiston, where he and friends Ron VanSickle and Gordon Hubbard are regulars.

Catching up over coffee

By KAYLEE BREWSTER FOR GOLDEN TIMES

you stop by Lewiston’s Rosauers in the early morning hours, you will often find retired, or mostly retired, friends meeting for coffee.

These groups aren’t part of any formal club but meet in the cafe area of the store to sip coffee or cocoa and chat.

Rosauers store manager Mike Peer said the cafe area used to be part of a restaurant, but was remodeled in 2003 and the restaurant was taken out. The area was filled with tables, chairs and a fireplace to create a dining and sitting area. Then the coffee drinkers came.

“From 2003 on, it’s pretty busy every day with coffee drinkers,” Peer said.

Some of those regulars

include Ron VanSickle and Gordon Hubbard, who have been meeting for at least five years, with Jerry Aucutt joining for the last two. They knew each other before their coffee chats, with VanSickle and Hubbard meeting through muzzleloading.

They gather once a week at the same designated time, enjoying whatever brew is available. Usually there are about 12 pots with a mornGOLDEN TIMES

ing breakfast blend, sold by the cup, according to Peer.

He said the cafe area was closed in March 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic and later reopened with safety protocols in place and tables 6 feet apart. It eventually went back to full operations, and the coffee drinkers returned. “(The cafe) was closed a few times but we met when they were open,”

VanSickle said.

Rosauers coffee regulars Gary Uhrich and Don Richardson also briefly halted their morning meetings together, but still kept busy.

“We had plenty of projects at home to do, so we just did that,” Richardson said.

He and Uhrich also have been meeting over cups of joe for a number of years.

Richardson said their coffee schedule “depends on what we gotta do for the day.”

However, neither have to worry about finding time around a work schedule since he and Uhrich are retired.

“Real tired,” Uhrich said.

Although there are many coffee shops in town, Rosauers offers a good location for Richardson and Uhrich.

“It’s in between both of our houses,” Richardson said.

Peer has his own theory for the popularity of the Rosauers cafe. “It’s a big area where a lot of people can come in,” Peer said. “A lot of the guys come in and meet with all their friends.”

Physical therapists are a primary resource for the development of any exercise program for people of all ages. We have the necessary knowledge and skills to allow for an effective and safe program to meet your individual needs. In order to maintain consistency and to improve motivation to exercise it is important to consider your goals for exercise. In order to minimize injury risk, I would recommend building activity into your daily routine. Start slowly with time and frequency of exercise, utilize different exercises to target multiple areas of the body, and allow time for recovery. Making sure that you stay hydrated and eating a proper diet is essential in participation in an exercise program to see the greatest benefit.
