Growing up, I remember my Dad saying, “It’s a great life if you don’t weaken.” I looked up the origins of this saying, and found that it was featured in a cartoon a long time ago, that has been attributed to John Buchan, a Scottish novelist, unionist and Canadian politician, and that it has been used as song lyrics, first by Maurice Chevalier and later by the Tragically Hip. No matter where my Dad got it from, I can relate to it and the words have stuck with me.

I was watching Feist’s performance of this song with The Hip from the Juno’s a couple days ago on the Youtubes. After the last year and a half we’ve had as a world, your post resonated with me.
I’m hoping you, and all, have been able to have more good days, than bad, and continue to keep on, keeping on.
