This is one of my very favorite quotes:



“Even after the worst storm the birds sing and so should we.  God wants us to be happy.”


                     Rose Kennedy was quoted as saying this.  She died at 104.



A lovely poem by E.B. White:



          Youth and Age


This is what youth must figure out:


Girls, love, and living


The having, the not having,


The spending and giving,


And the melancholy time of not knowing.,



This is what age must learn about:


The ABC of dying.


The going, yet not going.


The loving and leaving,


And the unbearable knowing and knowing
