Author Tod Perry wrote that coming to grips with some hard truths about life may make the world seem like a colder place, but that part of maturing means letting go of rose colored glasses viewpoints. He then wrote about nine hard truths that, once digested and accepted, could make life less complicated and more bearable.

Please tune in this week as Wayne reviews Perry’s list, discusses his own experiences and philosophies on some, and strongly disagrees with one of the hard truth choices. What do you think?
