At seventy-three years old, I’ve come to not be afraid of so many things that just about scared me to death in my younger years. I look back twenty-three years ago, and I find it amazing that I had no fear when I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. Multiple myeloma is a type of blood cancer that has no cure. Many patients die within three to five years of diagnosis. Of course, I had a fairly well-developed faith in God when I was diagnosed. Now, I’m still here and living a wonderful life. What is there to fear? I still can’t figure out why my brother has a pronounced fear of mice. 😂😂
Hence the very appropriate name of your blog site, my friend.
You got it. 👍

The Plato quote is so true.
I do… I read your posts! 🤣😅😂
That scary, are they, Dori?!
Not really… it was just a silly thought. Made me laugh, but then I’m a little scary myself! 😅
Friday the 13th = 12 disciples + Jesus. I fear not.
I especially like this one, “I’m not afraid of death. I just don’t want to be there when it happens.” ~Anonymous
Happy Friday 13th!
Thanks, Paul!
Thanks Mitch, I needed this. It’s been a bizarre week, with a major event beyond my control. But how bad is it, really? It’s too soon to say, amigo. 🙏Keep them coming, 😎 bro.
Sorry it’s been that kind of a week for you, David. Better things to come!

Yup–Plato’s quote is a keeper all right. Strong truth! Also got a chuckle from the man, salmon, and bear meme. Thanks for the wisdom AND humor today, Mitch!
My pleasure, dear friend!
😁
Passing Plato forward with grateful mention 🙏
Ha ha ha💐🌸💖
It was a great evening to celebrate my sister’s 50th birthday. Complete with a fire pit to watch the rain clouds roll and tell Irish ghost stories.
Perfect!
This is a great selection of comically scary images, especially the bear one! Thanks, Mitch. 🙂
My pleasure as always, Nancy!
Timely post, Teemley. I hope your Friday was a good one and that no wayward black cats crossed your path.
Nope. I’d have stopped and petted them if they did. Happy weekend, Kellye!
“God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.” The world needs this wisdom!
I love the Groucho Marx quote (but then again, I like MOST Groucho Marx quotes).
Me too, Michael.
