Just Saying

The ghost of President Franklin Delanor Roosevelt showed up while I was practicing golf putts in my backyard.

I said that I admired the shine of his wheelchair. FDR said peace of mind starts by taking care of what’s within your reach.

I started to cry. FDR asked me why I was crying. I said I’m a sucker for good inspirational sayings.

FDR said that if we can’t motivate one another, what’s the point of a civilization.

I cried harder. FDR said that tears held in make a man damn. But tears released will water and make a man’s heart grow.

I couldn’t see through the tears. Water began to go up my nose. I yelled at FDR to cut it out.

FDR was quiet. But then he couldn’t hold it back and said silence is golden.

I was washed away in a river of tears.

The last thing I heard was FDR reiterating the importance of going with the flow.
