Yin and yang.

Back to this…

The happiest day of your life is the day you buy a boat. The second happiest is the day you sell it.

Just playing around with the quote above…

The happiest day of your life is the day you say you’re gonna do something. The second happiest is the day you do it.

The happiest day of your life is the day you say you’re gonna do something. The saddest day is when you realize you’re never gonna do it.

Some decisions have life-changing adult responsibilities.

dad

The mystery of how young love can turn into parenthood after only one beer.
