Thank you @arpie!
Some years ago, I spent a morning, with others, listening to a man in his early 80s, with terminal cancer, talk about life and living. An old thespian, he knew how to use words to best advantage - to choose the mot juste, the memorable word or phrase. But most of all, he radiated life and love, enthusiasm, patience and hope. He was at peace with himself and his universe, yet looked forward to each new day, confident it would teach him something new and rewarding. Obviously, I have never forgotten him or his wisdom. He and Francis Croken had much in common. Thank you for making this available, it’s such splendid advice.
