A message to three young people I love.

I really want you to read the story at the link below and reflect on it. Then make the effort to give older people more time in your days - listen to them & learn from them, everyone has a story to tell about their journey.

Maybe it's because I'm feeling decrepit today, but this blog helped me again realise what amazing things our forbears have done to improve our lives.

This is the legacy you must carry forward: to improve the conditions of the generations which will follow you. I can see you doing it already & I'm proud of the talents and skills you are developing - put them to good use.

Please don't laugh at me, think deeply, act accordingly and make your time here have real meaning. You do not have to become teetotal fun-haters : find something to champion & give it your all; cut loose & mess around but make the world a better place. Listen to the elders and learn from them.
