Some days seem more fair than others. I have to go hour by hour.

Yep, you do. Overall, though, I think life deals most folks some nasty cards, but it is up to us to make the best of them. I sure try.

Wise words indeed Milt!! I try to stop belly-aching, put things in perspective and move on! Happy Monday!!

In actual fact you'll go crazy if you do not accept life as it comes. Very astute.

Oh my, I hope not, because it's a hard thing for so many folks to do. OTOH, perhaps that is why we have so many mental problems in our complex society. Good point, Victor, and I think you for commenting.

Yep. It is important to know when to play and when to fold, though. For most of my life, I have preferred to play!

So true, life is what you make it.

Yes, it is. We can make a success, or we can make a disaster. It is really up to us...and a wee bit of fate, I think. Or is it Karma? Maybe both.

Thanks, Bill. Yes, no one could fight with this conclusion...I don't think.
