Thought for today

"Time may be a great healer," "but it definitely isn't a very good beautician."

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF YOU!

The following is the philosophy of Charles Schulz, the creator of the 'Peanuts' comic strip.

You don't have to actually answer the questions. Just ponder on them. Just read the e-mail straight through, and you'll get the point.


1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.

2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners (or substitute some other athletic trophy if you are not familiar with the Heisman).

3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America pageant (or mis Ireland, or wherever you happen to live).

4 Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.

5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress.

6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners (or world cup, or Stanley cup, etc.).


Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:


1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.

2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.

3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.

4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.

5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.

Easier?


The lesson:

The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the
most credentials, the most money...or the most awards.

They simply are the ones who care the most.

Contentment the greatest wealth.

Faithfulness the best relationship..

It is health which is real wealth.

NOT pieces of silver or gold

And dont we all know it Patsy as the old saying goes You never miss it till it's gone.

Never regret, if its good, its wonderful !!!!!!!!!!!!

if its bad, its an experience !!!!!!!!

Love that one about gardening Katie, my rhubarb is starting to grow.

Happy Tuesday to you!

best wishes jb

Gardening is a way of showing you believe in tomorrow!

Sometimes we can find great words of wisdom in childrens books. Like Pooh bear, always full of enthusiasm for life, telling friends who could think of nothing to do, "Lets go out there and wish everyone a happy Thursday"

So Happy Friday to all who visit the forum!

Tell me about it Katie!

and when it is accompanied by PD, it certainly doesn't do us any favors (young or old)

Wisdom dosn't always come with age. Sometimes age just shows up all by itself!

Well, for what it is worth, nobody be dreary while living upon this earth, cause I care for you all. Katy and Ladies: you have written many wise things here over the past months.

jb

Well said Katie.


It's what the forum should be about....x

If nobody cared just a little for you,
and nobody thought about me.
and we all stood alone in the battle of life,
what a dreary old world this would be!

God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change.
The courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me.

A bear, however hard he tries, grows tubby without exercise.

Winnie the Pooh, of course

A women after my own heart Marie......now pass the polish..............(nail polish,of course)

Totally agree Katie, no contest really, has to be the house every time..........hasn't it?

Both of us can't look good at the same time. Its either me or the house!

One little word unspoken, may seem too small to say,
But somewhere for that one word, A heart may pray.

Growing old is mandatory;

Growing up is optional

Dont borrow sorrow from tommorrow

"Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul."

Don't be too busy, too serious, too sensible-- at least, not all the time! Remember to have a little fun, enjoy a little nonsense, a sprinkling of dreams, even a few daydreams, to balance lifes ups and downs.
