Favorite saying

Posted by captboat @captboat, Aug 30, 2025

My wife and I were having a discussion and we came to a mutually satisfying agreement. I was reminded of this saying: “A good understanding is like the ‘whistle’ and the whistle always blows on time.” ( the “whistle” in reference here is the old fashioned factory whistle: the whistle starts the work day, blows for lunch, and blows again to end the work day, and the whistle is always on time)

Be kind. Everyone is in a battle of some kind.

A quote stuck in my head by Jimmy Dean:

" I cannot change the direction of the wind,
but I can adjust the sails,
to always reach my destination."

"An empty lantern
provides no light.
Self-care is the fuel
that allows your light
to shine brightly."

My wife has said “not only is love blind but ours is deaf and numb too”. And we thank God because January 4, 2026 we celebrate 57 years!
