UNCLE MILTY WISE

Thursday Dec. 3, 2015


Possibilities are endless, at any age, any stage of life, aren’t they? From nowhere, opportunities show up all the time. One arrived recently. Unexpectedly.

First thought:

‘would have been nice if that was twenty years ago – or thirty!’

Would I have recognized that opportunity then? Or known what to do? 

Go ahead. Take a shot. Your best shot.

No telling what will show up, or who, or when.

 

Mark Kolke

P.S.: If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door. – Milton Berle

P.P.S.: International Day for Persons with Disabilities. Hug someone with a disability. If you don’t know one, just start hugging everyone. Chances are you’ll soon be touching someone with a physical, developmental, sensory or mental disability or someone who has a family member with a disability. That experience might will change your life. And theirs. To be seen, touched or held is important for everyone, however differently-abled we are.
