Nothing in life is of any value unless it is shared with others.

"Notes" of An Elder is a depository of pertinent information, knowledge and wisdom. Available weekly will be an elder's "thinking menu" for your use. Enjoy this bounty.

Don't give up. Pain is temporary. Regret is forever.

You are a product of your decisions.

Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.

Most things in your life are a reflection of a choice you made. If you want a different result, make a different choice.

Rather fail with honor than succeed as a fraud.

"In the small matters trust the mind, in the large ones the heart." — Sigmund Freud

Each morning, we are born again. What we do today is what matters most.

Just because you think you deserve something doesn't mean you'll get it.

Not everything is worth fixing. Move on.

Not everyone deserves to know the real you. Let them criticize who they think you are.

One act of kindness can change someone's life forever.

Don't tell me what they said about me. Tell me why they were so comfortable to say it around you.

Life humbles you as you age. You realize how much time you wasted on nonsense.

Life is a priority, not an option.

Have more than you show. Speak less than you know.
