The willingness to forgive is a sign of spiritual and emotional maturity. It is one of the great virtues to which we all should aspire.

As we have been continuously counseled for more than 60 years, let us have some food set aside that would sustain us for a time in case of need. But let us not panic nor go to extremes.

You can be smart and happy or stupid and miserable. . . it's your choice
