Things That Happen Before You Are Born

I Thought About All The People I Knew Who Spent Many Of Their Waking Hours Feeling Sorry For Themselves. How Useful It Would Be To Put A Daily Limit On Self-pity. Just A Few Tearful Minutes, Then On With The Day.

I Asked Myself, 'am I Going To Withdraw From The World, Like Most People Do, Or Am I Going To Live?' I Decided I Am Going To Live - Or At Least Try To Live - The Way I Want, With Dignity, With Courage, With Humor, With Composure.

Holding On To Things Only Breaks Your Heart.

You're Not Going To Fix Things By Helping 65-year-olds Or 75-year-olds For Any Long Run.

When Death Takes Your Mother, It Steals That Word Forever.
