Hello Grafted In Reader,
Today is Tuesday, May 14, 2024 in my corner of blog-land. How goes it?
I just had a warm visit with a friend whom I will identify as LM. Our conversation included the key words that I'm using as this post's title: Persevere and Persist.
We all face roadblocks throughout life, stop-signs if driving, crosswalks if pedestrian, periods of wait when shopping or eating out, starting small if embarking on something like writing, a new business venture, learning to play a music instrument, income as an adolescent or young adult. Or, it used to be that way...
On Sunday May 12, I played piano at The Voyageur in St. Clair, MI, for patrons as it was Mother's Day here in North America. My song choices ranged 50 years in scope and as they were played, different memories came to mind from respective eras.
I persevered through whatever challenges each era brought. So have you.
I might be right in saying for the most part, things worked out well for both of us despite our separate life experiences.
Simply, keep at it, keep it up, try again, shoot for the moon and you may hit the highest mountain top, etc.
Till next visit, may the presence of G-d be with you always!
Mellow Rock
