So true sir…
ha ha, more feather duster here
Ha! Well said. Thanks 🙂
I just wrote about this in my latest post! Check it out!
I will!
Been there! Great quote. Thanks.
Loved this!! And, needed the gentle reminder. Love the Bible verse to go along with it!
Great quote!!
Mitch my father used to say “one day you are a Hero and the next day a Bum!”
Life can swing like a pendulum,

Did you mean to rhyme that second line, Brad (“life can swing like a pendulum”)? You’ve got a great song lyric in the making there!
Haha!
And here’s another thought – a feather duster is actually useful!
Hah, love it!
Love this!
Humility : Not thinking less of myself ,but thinking of myself less
Indeed! A classic C.S. Lewis quote.
This is putting things in perspective! I’m printing this out and putting it where I can see it everyday.
It’s almost funny but it’s not funny. My friend’s dad was depressed after he retired and felt he was no body anymore. In a human world, he higher one climbs, the deeper he might fall. Thank you for sharing your deep thought.

LOL very true
Amen! We must never forget where we came from. In the end (and the beginning) we are all one.🌠
You nailed it Mitch. Peacocks are really pretty all puffed up with tail feathers spread, but feather dusters get the job done. Ever try to dust with a peacock feather?
Thanks, Larry (see comment below).
Brilliant use of just a dozen words! Nothing like succinct truth (with a bit of humor) to make a memorable point.
Thank you, Nancy. However… (see comment below).
Hey, all, for the record: I didn’t write the quip in the picture. Just found it, liked it, and attached the Scripture verse.
OK, so you recognize profundity when you see it! 🙂
Amen! Some days we need this reminder. <3
Mitch, speaking of Humility and Peacocks, why don’t you tell us the story of when you were attacked while trying to feed “Joan the Peacock” behind your green 1972 Chevy Vega Kammback at Lake Shasta and the meaning of your faded memory of when your precious Ovation guitar was knock over and the upper right flair of the tuning head got chipped off?
It feels sometime the memories of our great car travels together only happened like last summer!
I hope you feel the sameway, Ray ..
I will tell the “Joan the Peacock” story at some point, Ray. It’s too deliciously humiliating to resist.
