Thank you everyone.

Thank you all for your kindness & caring. I'll be okay. I always am. This is a philosophy I've developed over the years. You can only hurt me for today. I'll cry for 15 mins but you will be you forever.

I had to google that one. Their definition was a hoot. "Don't let the bastards grind you down." lol

Bummer. Lennon is one of my favorites Many of his songs are very uplifting IMO

Our parents thought of JohnLennon as some drug fiend. But he was so much more that that. He instituted the Star Program which still exists today. Yoko runs it now. They provide kevlar vests to NYPD. Some lawless drug fiend that John Lennon.

I like that. It reminds me of an old Jewish story. An old rabbi was very sick and in tremendous pain but in good spirits. His students asked him how he could be joyful in spite of such suffering. He said, “Pain in the past is gone. Pain in the future isn’t here yet. Pain of this moment only lasts a moment.”

It’s an interesting perspective. It definitely reminds me that a painful experience doesn’t last forever. It hurts. And then it fades.
