Billy Joel sang (& wrote?) a song about how when we mature, we see more shades of gray. That really stuck with me….not to see things always in black and white but in new shades of gray.
Sounds like a helpful song! If you find the title, please let me know.
Thanks for your comment – much appreciated.
