59. DU sometimes frowns on prayer and spirituality.

Mon Sep 5, 2022, 11:14 AM

Sep 2022

Too bad. I frown on people who haven’t had 75 years of life experience and know that there is a wonderful spiritual world all around us. Prayers and positive thoughts are exceedingly healthy. And laughter. Get rid of all that bad air and energy with as much laughter as you can pack into your day. Surround yourself with positive people and memories. No stewing over what you may have done wrong in previous years. Not helpful.

And keep listening to Elton singing our song: I’m Still Standing!
