Why do we continue to hold on to that doesn't work anymore? I am older now and still working on some of the programming my parents installed. Something to consider as I move forward with the choices that need to be made.
I would hope that age has made them realize that some stuff is just not that important. I have a quote printed on a picture beside my bed to remind me of this: "Tonight your days are diminished by one. Do not squander your life." (Zen evening chant)
