We can learn about a full life from our failures

When you get up and age like me, every
now and then we all reassess our lives. Hey,
I’ve had a good life. But there have been my
share of bumps in the road. The key is do
we learn from these trials and tribulations
and possibly see some light,
or do we wallow in self-pity? Do we
all have a little Charlie Brown in us?
Who can forget the Peanuts comic
strip where character Lucy sums up
her friend.
“You, Charlie Brown, are a foul
ball in the line drive of life! You are
a miscue! You are three puts on
18th green! You are a dropped rod
and reel in the lake of life! You are a missed
free throw, a shanked nine iron, and a called
third strike.”
