To strive is to be alive
Write about a recent success. *Ha* Yours or someone else’s - your choice!

Biden and Bernie.

Biden actually won a primary contest! He hadn't had much luck in the past. Now 77 he along with Bernie, age 78, stand above the bones of those who also had dreams, reached out, died of thirst.

Both know what it's like to strive and lose.

But to strive is to be alive.

Politics and political positions aside... imagine yourself at 75 running around the cities and the countryside of an at-times unappreciative audience shouting, "Me, it's Me!

Sounds exhausting. And yet, there they are. Not done yet.

(I'd be collecting the rotten tomatoes they threw at me for supper.)

Whatever else will be written Biden and Bernie will be remembered for not understanding the word "retired". Win or lose, in so many ways they have won.
