THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2023 Page 3 ~ GUEST COMMENTARY ~ The Summer Of 2023 Signs Off By Sal Giarratani O ur lives revolve around four seasons of equal duration, but as always and especially the older we get, why does summer fl y by so quickly? How come our winters drag on far too long? I heard some great words of wisdom recently. In the end, as bad as life can be at times, we do fi nd meaning. We do fi nd purpose. We believe there is a heaven for the good and punishment for the bad. At least that is my hope. I need some satisfaction that the bad times I went through will be balanced by the future out there for all of us. This summer was, as I said, not the best summer I remember. Too much rain for me but when the skies were sunny, I went to the beach to squeeze out every bit of sun and heat I could get. Fall is almost here and then the dreaded winter months. I say goodbye to the summer and told it, “See you next year” or something to that eff ect. I continue to live my life well; as well as I can and pray for good health and happiness. Been pretty lucky so far. I still have my bucket list to empty. I still have dances to dance and new people to meet. Old friends to hold on to and bitterness to shed. Lawrence A. Simeone Jr. Attorney-at-Law ~ Since 1989 ~ Summer will return just as sure as snow will fall this winter. Remember: as bad things may have been, things could have always been worse. Is the cup half empty or half full? Finally, I remain a beach bum who loves baking in the sun, taking in all those healthy rays. I am Sicilian-Irish and I never burn and by summer's end, I look like a Tunisian. In the winter, more like the map of Ireland. Stay an optimist. Think happy thoughts. Plan your next summer vacation soon and never let people mess you up. More serious stuff from me next time. * Corporate Litigation * Criminal/Civil * MCAD * Zoning/Land Court * Wetlands Litigation * Workmen’s Compensation * Landlord/Tenant Litigation * Real Estate Law * Construction Litigation * Tax Lein * Personal Injury * Bankruptcy * Wrongful Death * Zoning/Permitting Litigation 300 Broadway, Suite 1, Revere * 781-286-1560 lsimeonejr@simeonelaw.net Like us on Facebook advocate newspaper Facebook.com/Advocate.news.ma THANK YOU , REVERE !
