Today is my father's 83rd birthday, and when I called he was working on a Photoshop project. He is taking a class (he says the rest of the students are a third of his age) and enjoying learning new techniques. Last year he sent me a DVD of a series of documentaries he made on the Bluenose II. He had to sleep on the floor while shooting as he sailed with her on several long journeys.
He is always involved with something, always learning, always creating something. When I do my MBTI and Personality Dimensions, he is in my mind while describing NT and Inquiring Green qualities.
He says that he still has most of his hair, but it is turning grey now. I asked for a photo of him as he is on the other side of the country. If it arrives, I will post it here.

Double meaning
"Whenever you fall, pick something up."
~Oswald AveryThe first thought that comes to me with this quote is how my partner was feeling depressed after major surgery and a need to change careers. To cheer herself up, she donated 50 bears to the Sick Children's Hospital. She did something for someone else.
The other interpretation is to learn something. From the fall it self, or about something unrelated just because you have a new perspective and perhaps the time.
Enjoy!
