Two years ago waiting in a check out line, I've met a man. He was paying for a food blender.
I said: "Your wife is gonna love it. I have the same and it is a very good blender. I love it"
He looked at me, smiled and said, that a few years ago he finally realized that saying "Happy wife happy life" works and since then him and his wife are the happiest couple in a whole World.
. That was a first time for me to hear that saying. And it kind of took me a wee aback. There is a grain of wisdom and for some reason I trust that man.
Sorry for grammar mistakes. English is not my first language.
Have a wonderful time of day everyone.
The older I get, the more often I think about my legacy to be left behind when I am gone.
In Russia we say man's life complete: when he built a house, had a son, and planted a tree. Nothing about women though
So here I am:
I created a garden 2,5 acres, with dry rock walls, a rock walled pond, collection of Hybrid Lilacs (Russian, Belorussian, Polish, French, German and one American Father Fiala Lilacs) When 84 of them bloom in Spring I cannot take my eyes off them, I smile. The happiest time! I don't think anyone will have a nerve to take them down. A vegetable and herb garden with 8x8 greenhouse (which I built myself),collection of paeonies, David Austin roses and other stuff.
I planted A real Russian birch (Betula pendula) which seedling I found growing by the steps of my house in Russia. It is not native to North America. Pity! Beauty! A powerful medicinal tree. My pride and joy!
What else: three children and one grand daughter
That's it, not much but I've done what I could.
I don't want people who will come after, to remember me. I just wanted to make Planet look prettier and keep my family line live.
Maybe someone will share their thoughts on leaving a legacy behind
Otherwise just ignore me I was talking to myself .. as usually
