        I'm old myself, now, but: Having older friends has always been wonderful. Grandparents, even great-grandparents, as well as folks in their nineties, even hundreds. They KNOW STUFF! Hearing their words is almost like having a great book read to you.

        #WorldKindnessEveryDay #GoldenRule Let's make every day World Kindness Day. How many people can you be kind to today?!? Kindness Day is not a holiday. Nor should it come but once a year. Kindness is a philosophy, a way of http://life.Live  life placing kindness as priority

        This would make a great modern love column. Platonic love is still love. And it’s truly modern.
