And your Tenth Child Will Be your Husband (part of one of the wisest things I have ever heard my wife say to me)

"Your husband is your Tenth Child and hopefully you get to keep your husband because your children are all going to grow up and move away."

This is a very very very wise statement about all our lives. Until you live this you might not understand how very important this is to know.

We were discussing how I often feel our our dog as my wife's pet when she went off and said this wise truth of Wisdom about Life.

I felt overwhelmed with the truth of this statement by the way. 

In my case I have been married 3 times Once in 1974 once in 1980 and once in 1995 in Yosemite National Park in the Chapel there. And this last marriage will be 31 years this December and we will have been together 32 years December 1st of this year too.

I have been raising 1 or more children from 1974 until 2014 continuously. Some people who don't like children couldn't deal with this. But, I have always loved children because I find them more wonderful and interesting and Magical than any adult.

Especially in the 1950s I found all adults mostly miserable. So, as a child my two goals were to become an Airplane Pilot to make a living doing this and to marry and have children so I didn't want to die of boredom or misery like most adults I knew in the 1950s.

People mostly were miserable still in the 1950s. I don't think most people found ways to be really happy until the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Living on earth anywhere was just so incredibly miserable that people were dying of misery all around me in a non-stop way still in the 1950s.

And people in their 40s often looked like people do now in their 70s and 80s. And not only that they didn't have many teeth or any teeth at all by 40 years of age.

Why was this true? Mostly money and ignorance combined.

And once again only 30 to 40% of people lived to be my present age of 78 or older.

Whereas NOW 70% to 80% of all people live to be 78 or older in comparison to how awful it was in the 1950s.

If you made it to even 40 in the 1950s you were very lucky indeed.

Now it's also true that if you live to be 30 you likely will see 90 years old too!
