PLATITUDES

As we sit here sandwiched between a season of giving thanks and a season of giving, it seems we are bombarded with eternal words of wisdom from the talking heads on TV, newspaper pundits, and magazine moghuls.

However, I did run across a quotation from the works of JOSEPH ADDISON that I found both practical as well as inspirational.

Good old Joe said, "The grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for".
