Thank You for the GIFT of your FRIENDSHIP James!
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT FRIENDSHIP ...
"TRUE FRIENDS are NEVER FORGOTTEN,
they live within our HEARTS and SOULS ....
FOREVER , and ALWAYS ,
DANCING on our stage of memories."
PEOPLE MAY NOT REMEMBER EXACTLY WHAT YOU DID
OR WHAT YOU SAID, BUT THEY WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER
HOW YOU MADE THEM FEEL! FRIENDS LET YOU KNOW
THAT YOU ARE NEVER ALONE ON THE ROAD OF LIFE!
With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,
Richard

Have a LAUGH TODAY James!
A Lawyer in a Mousetrap
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT LAWYERS ...
How do you get a lawyer down from a tree? Easy - just cut the rope."
"It was so cold last week that I saw several attorneys with their hands in their OWN pockets."
"How was copper wire invented? Two lawyers got hold of a penny at the same time."
"How many lawyers does it take to screw in a lightbulb? How many can you afford?"
"The two partners in a law firm were having lunch when suddenly one of them jumped up and said, "I have to go back to the office - I forgot to lock the safe!" The other partner replied, "What are you worried about? WE'RE BOTH HERE."
"How does a lawyer go to sleep at night? Easy - first he LIES on one side, then he LIES on the other."
LAUGHTER IS THE SPICE OF LIFE!
With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,
Richard

The FUTURE Comes 1 Day at a Time James!
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT THE FUTURE ...
"STOP ACTING as if LIFE is a REHEARSAL.
LIVE this day as if it were YOUR LAST.
The PAST is OVER and GONE.
The FUTURE is not GUARANTEED."
~ Dr. Wayne Dyer
MAY THE DREAMS OF YOUR PAST BE
THE REALITY OF YOUR FUTURE!

Don't WORRY be HAPPY James!
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT STRESS ...
"When you find yourself STRESSED, ask yourself ONE QUESTION:
Will this MATTER 5 years from now?
If YES, then DO SOMETHING about the situation.
If NO, then LET IT GO."
~ Catherine Pulsifer
STRESS IS AN IGNORANT STATE.
IT BELIEVES THAT EVERYTHING IS AN EMERGENCY!

Sending you some FRIDAY LOVE James!
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT WALKING THE WALK ...
"Start doing the things YOU THINK SHOULD BE DONE, and start BEING what you think society should become.
Do you believe in free speech? THEN SPEAK FREELY.
Do you love the truth? THEN TELL IT.
Do you believe in an open society? Then ACT IN THE OPEN.
Do you believe in a decent and humane society? Then behave DECENTLY and HUMANELY."
~ Adam Michnik
IT'S TIME TO WALK THE WALK ~ TO LIVE THE THINGS WE SAY WE BELIEVE IN!

Sending LOTS OF LOVE to you James!
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT SERENITY AND PEACE ...
"May you find SERENITY and TRANQUILITY in a world you may not always understand.
May the PAIN you have known and the CONFLICT you have experienced give you the STRENGTH to walk through life facing each new situation with COURAGE and OPTIMISM.
Always know that there are those whose LOVE and UNDERSTANDING will ALWAYS BE THERE, even when you feel MOST ALONE. May you discover enough goodness in others to believe in a WORLD OF PEACE.
May a KIND WORD, a REASSURING TOUCH, and a WARM SMILE be yours every day of your life, and may you give these gifts as well as receive them. Remember the SUNSHINE when the STORM seems unending."
With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT BRINGING IN THE NEW YEAR ...
"Year's end is neither an END nor a BEGINNING but a GOING ON, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us.
Cheers to a NEW YEAR and another chance for us to GET IT RIGHT."
~ Oprah Winfrey
2012 IS A NEW BOOK WITH BLANK PAGES WAITING FOR US TO WRITE THE STORY OF OUR LIVES!

Happy Saturday James!
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT HAPPINESS ...
"Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I — NOT EVENTS — have the power to MAKE ME HAPPY OR UNHAPPY TODAY. I can CHOOSE which it shall be.
Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just ONE DAY, TODAY, and I'M GOING TO BE HAPPY IN IT."
~ Groucho Marx
