I love me a good free for all, especially on a Friday. Thank you, Bill, for including my link to The Peak’s newsletter today. I love it!
My 11th grade English teacher shared a saying I still remember to this day (I’m 50 now, almost 51), “Money can’t buy love, but it can rent you a good time.”
Sitting in a North Providence,RI Emergency unit last night, (If there’s any fun in that but happy outcome), I was amazed to see the attention given to upcoming St Patrick’s Day. From shamrock-covered scrubs to elaborate head pieces and people saying, “I’m really not Irish, I’m Italian, but I love a good time!”Happiness is where you find it or let it find you. You just have to jump in!
Coming from the lower end of the income spectrum and the higher end of the age spectrum, I like to say that I’ve found happiness comes with contentment. To qualify, I’m not talking about laziness, but enjoying what I do and everything around me. Though I’m politically active, I don’t tend to take things personally and have stopped worrying about things I can’t control. So, I guess my point is that happiness. Doesn’t depend on money, but on your attitude toward your life.
After reading Ramona Grigg’s complete article in Constant Comment, I was inspired to suggest researching the topic of grief. Not just losing a loved one but losing anything you cherish.
I recommend reading “The Beauty of Dusk” by Frank Bruni who dealt with partial vision loss.
As Ramona wrote, “I’ve told you before that writing about my life out loud is a new thing for me, and I’m not always comfortable while I’m doing it. But I’m doing it because I realize now, as a widow, that there is comfort in reading or hearing someone else’s story about grief. We need to know we’re not alone in this.”

Hi, thank you for mentioning about the pay walls. I find it really frustrating to be teased with a snippet of information and then cannot read the article. May I suggest that when you quote the source in blue letters that you add beside it that there is a pay wall and then we will avoid the annoyance of clicking on it to find we have to pay. Thank you Bill
Thanks for your comment! I like your suggestion, but most paywalls are dynamic. They don't appear for everyone.
Some sites will give a certain number of free articles. Others try experiments, showing paywalls to 50% for example and not to the other 50%, trying to figure out how to get people to subscriber, or if they can make as much on the ads.
So I might not see a paywall but you might. Or vice versa.
I will add ... this is the #1 thing that some people advise me to do with the newsletter, basically put parts of it behind a paywall so that loyal readers suddenly can't read parts of it without paying. That's a last resort for me, and I try to do everything else I can to make it all financially sustainable first!
The ones I can guarantee will have no paywalls are the ones where I use gift links from my subscriptions. But they are not unlimited, so I tend to save them for Fridays.
Great collection again today Bill and Happy St. Paddy’s Day! Not to worry, I’m Irish too, and I tend to forget a bit as well. Though not so much that I forget it’s also our anniversary! 😊💚🍀
Oh my gosh, Bill, I love that you've done this, and that you've included a piece of mine in your wonderful, eclectic Friday collection. Tons of new visitors came my way, a happy surprise after a gloomy day.
I love what you do here, and I'm thrilled to be even a tiny part of it. Thanks again!

Another great Free for All Friday! Thanks Bill! Have a great weekend!

Can’t say you didn’t warn us about the sports photos. Wow!

Oh Bill, I love the picture you used today. Do you happen to know where it is? Just asking. No biggie if it’s a stock photo.
