Many years ago I read a quotation which made a great impression on me. I decided it was a fine thought by which to pattern my life. I've no idea of the author but his words have stayed with me.
"I shall pass through this world but once. Any good thing I can do, or any kindness I can show to any human being, let me do it now, and not delay, for I shall not pass this way again."
I haven't always done as much good as I might have, but at least the words have constantly reminded me of my goal.
In the course of any life, dozens, or perhaps hundreds of things happen which do not directly affect our lives, but nevertheless, get stuck in our memory banks.
Then there are other events, although insignificant in and of themselves, when coupled with other events, can be life-changing.
If I try to put all these memories into my Life Story I'll never get it finished. So, for now, I'll just talk a little bit about those which pop into my head, as time permits.
