Re: WISDOM
I have a pretty good collection of Twainisms. Between Twain and Aesop as life guides one could do right well.

Re: WISDOM
Jim, that sure makes me think of all of the young people who are dying on both sides in Ukraine.
I pray that this war comes to a halt very soon.

Re: WISDOM
Today my Dad would have turned 100, the year I turned 59 he called me and said, "Happy Birthday Old Man." I asked him, "...isn't that like the pot callin' the kettle black?" He was two weeks shy of turning 86. His answer was that he'd planned on waiting until I was 60, "...but I'm not sure I'll live that long." 6 weeks later he passed on. I'm still sure he was too young. I give thanks for every day I'm able to rise and take nourishment. The aches and pains are proof a life well enjoyed.
