I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live up to the light I have.--Abraham LincolnIt is not crucial that we always be right, only that we be honest.
We do not have to be winners or high achievers so much as we have to be real human beings.
Conquest is not as important as connection.
We do not always have to compare ourselves and be better than the next guy.
We can exchange......... and appreciate.

Am I right in believing it's Lincoln's birthday today? It's probably a public holiday over there, isn't it?
I had this conversation with an old old friend only this lunchtime. . .

I was reading today that more books have been written about lincoln than any other American president...four new ones have just come out....
it is very true that even when we are totally honest...we are not always right....
Hey Mel....
AMEN on ALL of what you just said here, especially - "We can exchange...and appreciate"
And thank you Mr. Abe for your wise words!!!
Thanks, Mel!
P.S. Hope your knees are doing well!!!!!
And P.S. We FINALLY got some SNOW today!!!! Actually it's rain mixed with hail and snow, but it's SOMETHING!!!
It seems that the past 5 years have been gobbled up battling for truth and honesty. The are the foundation for all else, right or wrong & without them it seems that all that we build will crumble.
To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.
Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900)
HUGS TOO!!
