Perseverance

The Merriam-Webster definition 'f such: "continued effort to do or achieve something despite difficulties, failure, or opposition". I like to consider myself 's havin' such a stubbornness. That do 'r die mentally that tends to get'n keep me'n troubles from time to time. Learnin' from my mistakes, tryin' to see all sides from diff'rent perspectives. Sometimes great successes, regardless 'f how small to others, can be 'chieved from such. Other times, I confess to fallin' flat'n my face - most oft with'n audience. I shared a pic 'f the moon last eve, clothed'n hazy clouds illuminatin' the beauty 'cross a darkened sky. Fer hours I'd search said skies, waitin', 't times most impatiently. Jest knowin' that such'd 've great rewards. Hope ya got to see such yerself wheree'er yer neck 'f the woods'd be. Some thingies 're best seen with the naked eye, perhaps the ambiance aides'n the beauty.

@crazyhorseladycx I'm sure it was. It's been a while since I saw a full moon. We've had a lot of rain here, so you know our skies are to blame for that.

I've made a lot of dumb decisions along the way but all I know is I am happy with the results today! With all my mistakes I must have done a few right things--I am a happy guy at 83 and not a single regret because otherwise I wouldn't have landed on my feet!
