  1. So where does the period go in a quote? “quote.”?
    I believe that you are going to be alright.
    I believe your family can be very proud of your accomplishments.
    I believe that when you get to be 30 your perspective of “OLD” will change. It is a sliding scale.
    I believe that change is inevitable and that without it the world would end as we know it. And,
    of course there is life on other planets. I have always believed that. God is there too.

  2. I believe I have many of the same beliefs as you with the exception of the age thing.
    I believe that age is measured in the heart and not in years. Sometimes I am still 7. Like the other day when someone mentioned the fact that people don’t go out for family drives anymore. There we were in the green station wagon on a Sunday evening. Good times.
