Do long, holiday weekends cause you to overdo, too?!?

After the Long Weekend

The thing that makes it so dang hard

listenin’ to good advice once old,

is havin’ lived a reckless youth

of adventures brave ‘n’ bold.

If I had only known just what

my rasher actions held in store,

I may have been more careful then,

instead of, now, so doggone sore!

LOL As for stories, at the baptism of an 18-yr-old sailor last week, I just had to share how excited I was, not just for the life he now has ahead as part of the Kingdom, but, too, for the fact he'll not have to put the life behind 'im that I did when I finally outgrew stupid and invulnerable well into m'fifties!

    nice thought Ray, we all think we would have done things different

    but if you think about it we did what we did because we were who

    we were, and yes the soreness reminds us of our ...pure joy for

    life or just how dumb we really were.....or both...

    Hmm... June 22 sounds extra like summer season solstice to me. Plus, why rejoice his death? Carlin replace into born on would 12. that ought to be the non-religious trip date. Granted, June 22 is nearer to Fathers' day and my dad appreciates Carlin probable extra effective than my mom, yet I nonetheless think of of it is in basic terms no longer a occasion of his death. i ought to paintings today after all. Sorry!

    Good morning Ray.

    Having just begun my third decade

    and still drawing from my recent youth

    I've not yet perhaps joined the wisdom parade

    but 20/20 hindsight does reveal some truth

    They say wisdom comes with age

    but if that be so

    then why is pain the footnote!

    Lol Have no regrets, only memories for when you can't move anymore you can at least recall when you could!

    Source(s): aspirin anyone?
