…..plunge boldly into that invious wilderness otherwise known as the future, Little Darling. It will hold multiple surprises as you seek to navigate its hills and valleys and waterways, but there is nothing out there that should intimidate you beyond studied reason. After all, the toughest opponent you will ever face is death, but he always wins in the end anyway and hence should stand as no impediment to trying as many new things as time will allow. Follow that rainbow off in the distance with a big smile on your face and never turn back to survey the path you have already trod. The future is exciting, unexplored, rife with hopes and promise and unsampled pleasures…..everything the past is not. So go ahead, Little Darling, charge into it sans fear and trepidation, for although we do not know just how long the future will last for each of us, we do know with one hundred percent certainty that it is finite and will one day end for all of us……
