Suffice it to say, every bad choice I've ever made has bitten me on the backside in relatively short order-and with the lesson learned, better choices have come about going forward. I have a tendency, learned from my mother, to forget nothing, while forgiving everyone-self included. There were five of us (four still living) and Mom would express her frustration with "I am not an octopus!" She has maintained integrity and agency, and will (God willing and the creek don't rise) celebrate 95 years of life, next month.

Well said. I wish I did learn from all my bad choices but sadly have had to have the same lessons more than ice a couple of times. LOL. Happy 95th!
