On Living Life

Live your life as though there is no tomorrow Hold on to every joy, let go of every sorrow Remember, but do not dwell on yesterday For what lies ahead is your final pay day. written January 14, 2022

"hold on to every joy" _ this is ever so important. We need to put this on a flag and start our own country.
