Do not spoil what you have
by desiring what you have not;
remember that what you now have
was once among the things you only hoped for.
― Epicurus
Have a question I like to ask.
Never stay around for the answer.
Don’t give a shit really.
The answer is yours.
Somebody asked you
when you were seventeen,
would you be happy with this?
You here now.
Would you be happy?
Somebody asked you
when you were fifty,
would you be happy with this?
You here now.
Would you be happy?
When I was seventeen,
me this today,
can’t say
I wouldn’t have wanted
more. More.
When I was fifty?
Yeah, sure, no problem.
Happy about who I am.
Lucky. Blessed. Grateful.
Whatever the age,
Happy Thanksgiving
to you.
