I guess this doen’t really apply to this strip. An old friend of mine posted this on Facebook. I just wanted to share because it is so profound.
There is no shortcut to life. To the end of our days, life is a lesson imperfectly learned. —Harrison E. Salisbury
There are no perfect days. We have struggled hard against this truth. In our demanding ways, we haven’t wanted life to be a process; we have wanted to reach a secure point of arrival. We have struggled against the dialogue and learning process of experience. We’ve looked for a “fix” and for perfection. Even now we long to “get it right.” We continue to learn and to grow, but the lessons we learn are not the things we expected. We grieve the lateness of our learning, and then we go on to learn more.
As we grow , we learn how to learn. We become more accepting of life as a process with no shortcut to the truth. We learn to engage in the process and accept that there usually is no right or wrong answer at the end of our search.
Today, may I accept the truth, which comes from the lessons of my experience — and be tolerant of its incompleteness

He might be aiming for breakfast but it’s a sure bet he’ll miss.

No need to change the locks, Andy can never get his key to fit in the existing one !

Flo Flo Flo… Get yourself off to bed.
No use waiting up for that lazy, unemployed excuse of a husband.

My apologies! I didn’t think you looked back all the time.
‘Vincenza’ is a really beautiful name. I’ve never heard of it before.Nobody calls me Anne…
I don’t really like being called by my real name on here. It’s too personal… Does that sound daft to you?
