My father imparted some wonderful nuggets of wisdom in his time. Not the least was that if I ever wanted to be happy in this life, I needed to find a way to deal with all the trappings of this world, that there were always going to be problems and that I needed to find a way to deal with them. Over the years I have, though not without collecting some scars along the way, but I find myself embracing those words every single day. It’s why I’m a faithful man, I’d be a pretty unhappy guy most of the time without it. Thanks Pop!

There’s another, and another, and another too!
There’s always a reason to quit
I was warned, I was warned, I was warned what to expect
You gotta learn to deal with it
