I have never felt more grateful for each day than this year, after the pandemic began mowing people down right and left. This is a timely write my friend.

An excellent observation Demetrios. Instead of seeing the glass half empty were seeing it through your fine piece, the opposite , but half full. Clever my friend...

Thank you my dearest friend, Michael If we think that even the youngest and the strongest person one day would not be around, we would have a more positive perspective of age! Blessings!

Well said my friend. Always look at the up side of everything. Even getting older has it's perks. I blame my old age on my children. They keep having birthdays and the older they get the older I get so I told them to stop before they kill me. lol As always good stuff here. Your wisdom shines like a beacon through your words. God Bless, JB

My dearest, younger people are envious of us for we have reached an age that they do not know if they would ever reach! Of course, I wish them to lie one hundred years old and more BUT still, it is a possibility ours is reality! Cheer up! Love and blessings! xxx

We should be grateful for every second our God grants us. But we have our weak moments and our minds sometimes harbor selfish thoughts. Hope your new year off to a good start Demetrios. Tom
