Au--bravo!!

My kids learned almost all those lessons, sometimes with hilarious results; sometimes, adding to the white hairs that are multiplying so rapidly on my head.

The great truths about adulthood I learned long ago. Some of the great truths about growing old are coming to bear, but I cling to number one. It doesn't seem to matter how old I get, I feel great on the inside (the mirror can be a shocker).

Another one I live by is: "My goal in life is to be the kind of person my dog thinks I am."

Thanks for the smiles.

My biggest shock comes when I look in the mirror and do not recognize the face looking back.
