My 79 year old mom is a precinct judge. She still picks up all the machines, does the paperwork and turns all that in at the end of the day. Point here is, never stop trying to make a difference. It counts until you die.
I guess that's my "problem" now. The only difference I want to make is right here in my own little 1/3 acre suburban lot. Nothing I have ever done in my life, no matter how honorable my intentions were, has turned out "right". Not one damned thing. Now I'm just doing what I WANT to do and not worrying about anybody else or any thing.
No good deed goes unpunished is not just a funny saying.
