Although I'm in my "Golden Years", I still strive to be the best that I can be, continually realizing that, in my present state, the "best that I can be" is in no comparison to the best I could have been, had it not been for the anguish, defeat and conflict that life brings....

To clarify, Bill, I wasn’t suggesting that you be ‘careful what you wish for’ - that was more a guideline for me to adhere to!

That's the way I took it, sir. "Be careful what you wish for" is always good advice.

Or bail, or plug the hole in the boat, or if it's raining too hard to fix the roof, at least put buckets under the leaks instead of whining. 

In short, when a difficult situation arises, DEAL WITH IT. 

Behaving like a competent adult gets easier with practice.
