    About this ebook

    What's my Label?

    My name is William Henry Meyer.

    Is that enough to distinguish me from others and explain who I am?

    I am William (my maternal grandfather's name), and I am Henry (my paternal grandfather's name), and I am Meyer (my surname).

    I have been called and answered to Billy, Bill, William Hank and recently willyhank (my adopted email name). Is that enough?

    I have a shop. In my shop, I have shelves with clear jars of nails, screws, washers, etc.

    It's easy to find what I want. The jars don't need a label since I can see what's in them.

    "What is your personal Label?"

    "How would you label your jar--you can't see what you can't see."

    I thought about my Jar, and I found only one answer. That answer was "Miscellaneous."

    I just had to label my Jar "Miscellaneous."

    I figured I was...

    a kid, a guy, a man, a son, a father, a brother, an uncle, a grandfather, a great-grandfather, a single man, a married man, a divorced man, a widowed man,

    an HS Grad, a College Grad, an Architect, a Writer,

    a Chicagoan, a Rock Islander, a St. Louian, and a retired Michigander

    a US Citizen, an Agnostic, an Independent, an Eagle Scout, a "White'" man, an Octogenarian, a Cancer Survivor, a Mindful Thinker.

    I excluded some things that I was and, now, am not. (I ran out of jars.)

    But it points out how we are all so different and complex. It would therefore seem foolhardy to give ourselves, only one label.

    So, my best regards to you, Miscellaneous

      INTRODUCTION

      There have been hundreds of books written with endless jokes and quotes. Many of those books list every quotation ever said or heard or written, regardless of relevance and message—whether it is good or bad, pertinent and timely—or just a Dictionary of quotes. I look upon a quotation in this book as a relevant and understandable representation of my thoughts. I’ve included my own Quotes and Expanded Quotes, but I also borrowed quotes from others, giving credit to the writer when that information was known. In many cases, I’ve added my own little personalization, or twist, to the quote’s presentation to make it more relevant to your everyday life. Consider the Quote from Wednesday, Mar 10, 2020.

      You know…I’m Worth It.

      Or my Expanded Quote to add a touch of relevance.
