Parting Thought

Paddy provided the parting thought at the end of our meeting -

"Like all of you, I can look back on my life for the past 80 years or more and appreciate that I have lived a charmed life, mostly with no effort on my part but more dictated by things around me. I have lived by the mantra, there but for the grace of God go I."
