Things it took me WAY too long to learn….

Getting older means learning a few little life lessons that help build contentment… The more stuff I have, the more work it is to take care of it all.   I can’t control all of my circumstances (not even most)     I can’t control what other people do. I can enjoy being myself.   I should take more photographs
