    But no, it is THEY - it is THEY."

    "The BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE is the one on which you decide YOUR LIFE is your own. No APOLOGIES or EXCUSES. No one to LEAN ON, RELY ON, or BLAME.

      Greetings,


    Instead of vowing to honor and obey each other, we should swear to aid and abet each other.


    Human physiology does not direct all of its own functions; it is interdependent. It must be steadied by the physical presence of another. This is necessary for both physical and emotional health. In many ways, humans cannot be stable on their own—they require another to survive.


    If a man does not make new acquaintances as he advances through life, he will soon find himself alone. A man should keep his friendships in constant repair.


    But whether it be dream or truth, to do well is what matters. If it be truth, for truth's sake. If not, then to gain friends for the time when we awaken.
    --Pedro Calderon de la Barca


    May all your storms be weathered,
    and all that is good get better.
    Pamela Olson, Friend

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT LAUGHTER ...

    "You have ACHIEVED SUCCESS

    if you have LIVED WELL,

    LAUGHED OFTEN

    and LOVED MUCH."

     ~ Bessie A. Stanley

    KEEP LAUGHING!  AS LONG AS YOU ARE

    LAUGHING YOU STILL HAVE HOPE!

    Hope your WEEKEND ROCKS Roger!

     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT WEEKENDS ...

    "Weekend planning is a prime time to apply the
    DEATHBED PRIORITY TEST:

    On your deathbed, will you wish you would have spent more PRIME WEEKEND HOURS GROCERY SHOPPING or
    WALKING IN THE WOODS WITH YOUR KIDS."

    ~ Louise Lague

    WHY WAIT FOR THE WEEKEND TO HAVE FUN?

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT HUGS ...

    "HUGGING is the IDEAL GIFT.

    GREAT for any occasion, FUN to give and receive, shows you care, comes with its own wrapping and, of course, is fully returnable.

    HUGGING is PRACTICALLY PERFECT.

    > No batteries to wear out,
    > inflation-proof,
    > nonfattening,
    > no monthly payments,
    > theft-proof
    > and NONTAXABLE."

    THROUGH YOUR EMBRACE YOU SPEAK A THOUSAND WORDS, WITHOUT EVER SAYING ONE!

    "Glory to the newborn King!
    Peace on earth and mercy mild

    Joyful, all ye nations rise
    Join the triumph of the skies
