A Yoke For A Lopped Eared Old Man

The burdens of life become greater and greater as we become less and less able to bear them.  The older I get the more I have to bear up under.  Not only are there more people who I love more than my own life; the progression, my wife; my four children; their three spouses; six grandchildren and counting; and each coming with their own set of burdens that bear heavily upon me.  There are also life issues that must be solved, retirement, health, and aging parent.  And all the while I am getting older and much less physically able to carry loads, either physical or emotional.  At times I feel like an old donkey under a heavy load, just standing on the trail, lopped eared and hanged headed.  One of the greatest secrets in life is finding the right yoke to help haul the load.  Ergonomics for the aging was invented in a carpenters shop in Nazareth.
