In 20 years time

Do you have a quote you live your life by or think of often?

I first came across this quote in 1998. At that time it was attributed to Mark Twain but that turned out to be an Internet misattribution. It was actually penned by H Jackson Brown in 1990. In those days people didn’t check things carefully on the Internet unlike now of course 🙄🤔😏 Anyway, I was so taken by the quote when I saw it on a poster that I bought the poster straight away. It reflects the course of my life and the influence of my wife in how I live it. With my job taking us overseas I showed her sights she could never have imagined seeing, but she showed me how to live with courage and risk. If that quote stays in my head it is to remind me of the important things in life that she knows far more instinctively than I do.
