INTO THE ABYSS 182 a

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE INTO THE ABYSS 182 a I know, this is out of sequence, I am still working on two essays, sorta simultaneously, and these thoughts popped up. I will write them down, may be add some more later or just go back to the other two. I have been married to the same woman for over thirty six years, we have three wonderful children, all college graduates, all college paid for, no loans, they have good jobs and have their own life's, their own ways. We always pushed education, always pushed character and achievement, no cheerleading, no beauty pagents, they all played sports, but didn't make the "teams" they all did great in school, one was also a valedictorian, they had small scholarships. But what am I trying to say, 36 years of marriage, three kids, and what did I learn? Admit that not all problems have a solution that you want or prefer, Some problems will not be resolved immediately You must order your priorities, you can have 5, 10 or thirty items on the top of your list. Half of a cake is always better than none. You will never have everything your way, remember that, sometimes things just won't work out to your liking or advantage. Mature adults know how to accept a loss, children always want things to go their way, and throw tantrums. MAYBE I'LL FIND SOMETHING TO ADD, OR MAYBE YOU WILL M. N. R. 01 JUNE 2022
