Anything nice you want to say?

I'm so happy I stuck with Senior Forums long enough to make real connections here. I was a member for about a year before I started coming here regularly and wasn't sure I wanted to stick around. I've come to appreciate the smart, witty, caring, talented, supportive people here.

Of course I greatly appreciate @Matrix as well as how easy it is to navigate this site.

I totally agree. I’m telling myself to reach out and this is the safest place I’ve seen. There are so many people dealing with all kinds of issues as we age. I’ve learned a lot and I thank you all. Also I’m learning from you all not to take life so seriously. None of us make it out alive and the witty humor brightens up my day. 😊
 
I enjoy all the experience, expertise and advice offered by the members in this forum. And although we don't always all agree, hearing opposing viewpoints sometimes helps broaden my worldview. I've learned a lot here. I've always made what I would consider good, caring friends in SF. You guys are great!

Do you remember when this was turned into a hit song? Spoken poem over chords and it climbed the charts. If people want to change the world, maybe they can start by making some "good" music that isn't just about booty calls?

Desiderata​

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.

Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.

Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.

And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy. - Max Ehrmann
