OK... I'm back. It's too bad that we don't get to see ahead in time. We always hear that hind-sight is 20/20, and it's true. But it wouldn't matter if we were warned in advance... we wouldn't pay attention. It's like what Glenda says about Dorothy in 'The Wizard of Oz'... when she tells Dorothy that she always had the means of getting back to Kansas. The scarecrow asks, 'why didn't you tell her?' or something to that effect, and Glenda replies with, '... she had to learn it for herself.' That's when we really learn our lessons.
ReplyDeleteWonderful letter to yourself, Magnolia...

Wise advice, Mags. Wise indeed.
ReplyDeleteI really loved reading that. I think I might hang out over there a little longer and see what other gems I can find.
