Nothing can ever happen twice.
In consequence the sorry fact is
that we arrive here improvised
and leave without the chance to practice.

Like this picture and the quote. How often do you see a man mending socks?
Glad you liked the combo, Peggy. Your comment made me think of my grandfather. He was in his 90s when my grandmother died and when he lost a lot of weight. His pants got baggy so he pulled out my grandmother’s sewing machine and taught himself how to sew so he could take his pants in. I was so impressed!
Oh wow – that is impressive. A man learning to sew at 90. What a sweet memory of your grandfather.
Self-reliance was a life-long value of his. I love remembering his words of wisdom and the example he set.
What an interesting viewpoint!
It struck a chord with me, Kathy!
So true, but we do the best we can.
I think of Cat Stevens’ song, “Father & Son.” Each generation has its own reality to navigate with new rules for making life a success. “If they were right I’d agree/But it’s them they know, not me.”
