    That's life

    It's a great statement, even when it's repeated.

    "Money can't buy happiness" it's true, but it sure can help with the bills.

    I longed for the simple life, till I found out how hard it is........JB

    ‎"Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent."
