Having just visited my mate in a nursing home ,he is approaching 98yo, I have been reminded of my favourite quote.
In myI PLAN ON LIVING FOREVER. SO FAR SO GOOD.
From the movie The Professionals starring amoung others Lee Marvin and Ralph Bellamy. The Bellamy character during an argument with the Marvin character calls Marvin a bastard. it's Marvin's response that has stayed in my mind

In my case it was an accident of birth but you sir, are a self made man.
 
Gods morning Vella and a Happy Birthday for today! "Ever Onwards and Upwards"; this is my mantra as I have had to overcome so much advercity in my short 70 years. Whenever people want to friend me on Face Book, Linkedin, or other social media sites, I thank them for wanting to contact me and then quote "Ever Onwards and Upwards!" To overcome our daily life challenges!
Vella Ever Onwards and Upwards for this your Birthday! I send you and all the family of SDC my Love Ox
Regards SirExton aka Phil, not Aka Bill, a stranger on the shore.
 
Tomorrow is promised to no one so make the best of today 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
 
Vella, have a wonderful Birthday 🎂 today with your family… Love the newsletter.. Thank you… ❤️
 
Never put off today what you should have done yesterday. Procrastination is a bitch😂
 
"Every morning we get a chance to be different,
A Chance to change, A chance to do better,
Your past is your past, Leave it there, Get on with the Future Part"
 
Happy Birthday , Best Wishes for today Vella, 🎂🥂
 
Punctuality is my religion but sometimes it can make me very lonely.
 
I will not waste a single day of my life. Today is the only day there will ever be.
 
Youth is wasted on the young.
Always be kind.
 
Indeed. SDC should only publish eloquent, well-written material, never poor writing. We don't need that shit!
Not everybody gets the wording or spelling right so does that include them?.We all make mistakes

You’re worst day, would be someone else’s best day 👍
 
The secret to a happy life is to have a good sense of humour and a bad memory. (From my grandmother)
 
Well it's a great country we live in Australia, and yesterday is gone and tomorrow we plan for and basically if ducks fly backwards and sink then perhaps we have a problem
