Jacques Kuun 12 Posted September 25, 2012 [ATTACH=CONFIG]3987[/ATTACH] Hello all Your comments invited…. I chose this picture as my new Avatar. Strength, courage, wisdom, contentment and age, versus youth, vulnerability and innocence (and perhaps apprehension). The one life blossoming, the other one fading fast. Keep well and regards Jacques Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

svw 10 Posted September 26, 2012 A phrase I have used often over the years when giving my kids advice is "it's all part of life" often to be met with a look of utter bewilderment followed by a please explain. At the beginning of this year my eldest in his final year of studying and starting his internship quipped before I could say anything "yes I know I'm going to be the little dude again who know's nothing"...

booksallsizes 10 Posted September 26, 2012 Lovely picture. Your pooch is beautiful - noble indeed. My beloved dog passed away away a year ago exactly - also wise and strong and wonderful. It had been such a long time since I raised a puppy that I forgot the vulnerability and apprehension of youth that my new dog embodies. Slowly his confidence is growing and he's learning his way around life and your avatar just made me think how the two are such poles apart yet both give one rich experiences.
