Influential people often have a fleeting presence with a lingering aftertaste. It’s their inherent nature. Though they may not travel beside you for a very long interval in your life, their influence may be with you for the rest of yours. There have been quite a few special individuals in my life. Most have been good, some have been bad. From all the various types of impressive people in my life, I’ve learned something. Some lessons are more immediate than others. Those that don’t result in an epiphany, take time to steep, and permeate my understanding.
I am available to take your birthday spankings if needed :) *evil grin*
