Now, that is some hard-earned wisdom, my friend! I’m still much too impatient and tend to go about pounding on closed doors. Perhaps if I sat down in the hallway for a bit, I would get up with renewed energy and equanimity, approach quietly, and open the door when no one is expecting it.
Oh Armand, you made my day! Sometimes we all wonder what impact we might have, and I appreciate you and my regular readers who stop by with wisdom and wit of their own! Thank you, my friend.
Though sometimes you have to wait in the hallway for a while. Lesson learned from 88 years on this planet.

I love the quote, insightful with just a soupçon of snark.
I love the word soupçon! I see it as a future title for something fun.
Kate Morgan Reade: Your writings are always so short, yet you share so much.
You brought a giggle with, "That is what doors do." When a door shuts, that is what doors do . . .
VERY GOOD!
I am still chuckling, because one hopes for a window to open or something. No. It shuts. That is what doors do.
A bit fatalistic.
And FUNNY.
So simple, so obvious, yet the staccato and the matter-of-fact acceptance . . .
Thanks for giving me a little earworm that will raise a little cheer throughout the day.
And with that, Armando, the Lawyer's response, is much longer than your post.

Kate Morgan Reade: Sometimes short is sweet. I am still smiling as I think, When a door closes . . . that is what doors do . . .
Far, far better than the platitudes! "A window opens . . ." No, the sudden friction at the closing of the door! Simple but masterful!
