Final Note: The algorithm gifted me a quote yesterday worthy of mentioning. I attempted to find its attribution, but there appears to be a two-way tie between Eleanor Roosevelt and William Aloysius “Bil” Keane (probably the former).
“Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present.“
What, another week gone already…. thanks for reminding me of all that happened
