    About this ebook

    Open this small book and in the preface you will find why the author has titled it I NEED YOU - REALLY, I DO!.

    They are inner thoughts put on 3x5 cards over the past 30 years (and still going)inspired by the people whose paths have crossed his.

    You will find here that life has much to offer if we allow the thoughts that swirl between our ears to see what is there.

    Some thoughts in here have been very reaffirming to the author. He hopes there are some that will do the same for you.
