Nature is life’s greatest teacher. The most common lesson is that To grow we must go thru pruning. We wonder why we must go they challenging time, growing can be painful.

Reminds me of a bible parable about the pruning of the vine. And the fig tree that bears fruit.

Your kindness and reference reminded me of someone from that city - a pen pal@SethGreene531
@Mindful Oh that's sweet, have you guys lost touch? Sad when that happens.
I'm not him I'm afraid, but thanks for the touching compliment just the same.☺️ 🤗
Here's hoping you reconnect or find a new pen pal.

I'm closer to Niagara Falls, Buffalo NY actually.

Nice, (Niagra falls) I used to have a pen pal from that area as well but she was female. Back in the day- pen pals were a big thing. People wrote letters across great distances. Unfortunately, i lost touch. And have moved so often in life I don’t have the letters. I kept them for a while. @SethGreene531
@Mindful Really?, how nice. Yes pen pals are another vestige of our past, lost to the fast paced world of email and social media "friends".
I remember it was very common, and a point of pride to have someone to correspond with. Waiting weeks for that snail mail letter to arrive.
Even as children we had pen-pals. Unfortunate you don't still have yours, I have a few tucked away and try to keep most - one as far away as the Philippines, and the island of Palau, South Pacific.

What a shame the tradition died out.

@SethGreene531 we must be about the same age
@Mindful Yes, near about. It's amazing the change that comes with the passing of years. 😊
