I'm 71 years old. I'm never sure how long, "long term" is gonna be.
My life is pretty much made up of what I want, and can do. What I'm willing to do, what I'm not willing to do, what I'll put up with, and what I won't.
It is a bad time, and likely to get worse.
But as I said, I'm 71 years old and in the stag of life where: God grant me the strength, to change the things I can. Put up with the things I can't.
And the wisdom to know the difference. Has new, more pronounced meaning.
And, yes I'm aware of a slight change of phraseology concerning that old saying. I'm possibly not as flexible as I should be.
