C'Est La Vie

I am perhaps a bit overzealous at times But that's just the way I am and have always been My love genes far outnumber all other combined I'm certainly not complaining, my friends But it can sometimes lead to a misunderstanding That's the challenge that life can sometimes throw at us To rise above it all with a "c'est la vie" attitude Can be a daunting task at times But the results will be a much happier existence Does this sound like a lecture Sorry, I can get carried away at times Really want to pass along what life's experiences have taught me As we journey through it, in what seems like Blazing speed... no one gets out alive So the best advice is to hang on and enjoy the adventure It's a one time limited offer that expires far too soon C'est la vie, mes amis, c'est la vie! © Jack Ellison 2014

Mon ami, Jack, c'est la vie et c'est extraordinaire! Merci! You have every right to lecture for the treasure of experience is something it should be shared! If someone though doesn't wish to learn from it then let him learn from his mistakes. If you keep writing in a philosophical manner I am afraid that second I will be! Ha-ha! Excellent my good friend!

Born, raised, and lived in Montreal for 42 years and this is now the limit of my french! Strangely, at this advanced age, I feel wise... probably just a phase I'm going through and it will soon pass! LOL Thanks my friend!

With Dragon you hold on tightly through every twist and turn... After he dumped me from the computer and on to the floor... He realized his fingers are too big for the keyboard! Details! Details! Tsk! Tsk!... Don't tell him... but... He's getting his very own fireproof and Hugh keyboard for Christmas... Well... That is... if I can get the computer back long enough to pay for it... It was ordered last month... He'll be so pleased... But he's still a dumb old Dragon!... My bottom still smarts! LOL

He doesn't mean to be so rough... He was just drawn that way... He said he'd kiss my Boo Boo... After he realized what he'd done... No way am I going to let him turn me upside down to kiss my behind... He'll probably dump me on my head! Hah! I've got his number... And am holding his blinged out blankie hostage... Til he gently puts me back down... HAH!

I know very little French, though I imagine that "C'est la vie" means live for the day. I hope you continue to do just that, because you inspire many.
