| 'Watcher' must be a friend of mine. I am a huge fan of Mark Twain and John Steinbeck. A must read: Travels with Charlie (Steinbeck).
Mark Twain:
A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval.
Facts are stubborn things, but statistics are more pliable.
Grief can take care of itself, but to get the full value of a joy you must have somebody to divide it with.
Humor is the great thing, the saving thing. The minute it crops up, all our irritations and resentments slip away and a sunny spirit takes their place.
Honesty is the best policy - when there is money in it.
And so many more... |

"Old age ain't no place for sissies" I like that one! It was Bette Davis who said that. A couple from my files: A few weeks after my [breast cancer] surgery, I went out to play catch with my golden retriever. When I bent over to pick up the ball, my prosthesis fell out. The dog snatched it, and I found myself chasing him down the road yelling "Hey, come back here with my breast!"
