Wisdom from the elders



In Chicago I knew a Native American, now deceased, who was quite a character. He had been an actor in his youth, became a gifted artist and eventually, having struggled with his own demons for years, came through on the other side with a lot of experience, strength and hope that he generously shared.
One thing he often said was this:
 
Start every day with one word: "Help!"
End every day with two words: "Thank you!"
 
As Captain Jean-Luc Picard would say, "Make it so."
