The house I live in is about a hundred and two years old. It has lived through six or so wars, a great depression, dozens of recessions and generations of families walking on it's old wooden floors.
It has seen both the countless days of joy and tragic days of sorrow that we sometimes suffer.
When the world sometimes gets me down, I look at this house. Yes, still standing after all these years.
What a wonderful world it has seen.
