Too many people put off something that brings
them joy just because they haven't thought
about it, don't have it on their schedule, didn't know
it was coming or are too rigid to depart from
their routine.

I got to thinking one day about all those
women on the Titanic who passed up dessert at dinner
that fateful night in an effort to cut back. From
then on, I've tried to be a little more flexible.

How many women out there will eat at home because
their husband didn't suggest going out to dinner until
after something had been thawed? Does
the word refrigeration" mean nothing to you?

How often have your kids dropped in to talk and
sat in silence while you watched 'Jeopardy' on
television?

I cannot count the times I called my sister
and said, "How about going to lunch in a half
hour?" She would gasp and stammer, "I can't. I have
clothes on the line. My hair is dirty. I wish
I had known yesterday, I had a late breakfast,
It looks like rain." And my personal favorite:
"It's Monday." ...She died a few years ago. We
never did have lunch together.

Because Americans cram so much into their
lives, we tend to schedule our headaches. We live on
a sparse diet of promises we make to ourselves when
all the conditions are perfect!

We'll go back and visit the grandparents when
we get Stevie toilet-trained.

We'll entertain when we replace the
living-room carpet.

We'll go on a second honeymoon when we get two
more kids out of college.

Life has a way of accelerating as we get older.



The days get shorter, and the list of promises
to ourselves gets longer. One morning, we
awaken, and all we have to show for our lives is a litany
of "I'm going to", "I plan on", and "Someday, when
things are settled down a bit."

When anyone calls my 'seize the moment'
friend, she is open to adventure and available for
trips. She keeps an open mind on new ideas. Her
enthusiasm for life is contagious. You talk with her for five
minutes, and you're ready to trade your bad feet for a
pair of Rollerblades and skip an elevator for a bungee cord.

My lips have not touched ice cream in 10
years. I love ice cream. It's just that I might as well
apply it directly to my stomach with a spatula
and eliminate the digestive process. The other
day, I stopped the car and bought a triple-decker.



If my car had hit an iceberg on the way home, I
would have died happy.

Now...go on and have a nice day. Do something
you WANT to......not something on your SHOULD DO list.

If you were going to die soon and had only one
phone call you could make, who would you call
and what would you say? And why are you waiting?

Make sure you read this to the end; you will
understand why I sent this to you.

Have you ever watched kids playing on a merry
go round or listened to the rain lapping on the
ground? Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight or
gazed at the sun into the fading night?
Do you run through each day on the fly? When you ask
"How are you?" Do you hear the reply?

When the day is done, do you lie in your bed
with the next hundred chores running through your head?

Ever told your child, "We'll do it tomorrow."
And in your haste, not see his sorrow?

Ever lost touch? Let a good friendship die?
Just call to say "Hi"?

When you worry and hurry through your day, it
is like an unopened gift....Thrown away... Life
is not a race. Take it slower. Hear the music before
the song is over.

It's National Friendship Week. Show your
friends how much you care. Send this to everyone you
consider a FRIEND.

[habs4ever]

You on the lam once again??This is getting to be SOOOOOOO old with you ;-)

[grannie9]

I'm not talkin... 8-z

Seeing that barn pic makes me think Bob Vila will pull up any moment, hop out, and say "Welcome to This Old House! Today, we are in NH, and the home of Al and Grannie9, who being snowbirds, have decided it's time to fully implement a security feature that will prevent their children from squatting in their home, while they go to Florida to hunt snokks and manatees.This feature has never been attempted in NH before, so we at This Old House, are thrilled that the NeversAgain will permit us to turn their abode into a fortress"...

[grannie9]

Send this to everyone you consider a FRIEND.

I was with ya until that part.. I hate orders... ;)

[grannie9]

ROFLMAO... choke, gasp, spit.

Omg.. there's only one you, thank ghod.

Poor Bob.. he loses again.. Dyan will have squatting rights for a few months of weekends.. Oh woe is us...;)

Oh... and I really do hate you... lol

[Kathleen]

I kept waiting for Bob Vila to explore the nether parts of Gran's barn, but that must be a different installment..lol

[Kathleen]

Apparently if I saved the robots I had as a kid, I would now be independently wealthy. ;-) Enjoyed our link today, AC. Thanks.

[grannie9]

Bob Villa had better stay away from my nether regions, let me tell you... I'll shoot that whackoff right quick..

No one messes with my nether regions.. !!!!! Unless they have permission, or are blind with mittens on...

Well hey do you do judo when they surround you
A little mental yoga will they disappear
It's grim but never dubious as motives go
One thing she'll always promise, promises a show

Thunder wishes it could be the snow
Wishes it could be as loud as she can be
These gifts are here, for her, for you, for me

I watch me be this other thing and never know
If I'm marooned o'er where the purple people go
Then lily white matricide from vicious words
It doesn't leave a scratch so therefore no one's hurt

Thunder wishes it could be the snow
Wishes it could be as loud as she can be
These gifts are here, for her, for you, for me

And on and on
The nurses make it clear
Just when you escape, you have yourself to Fear
A restaurant that never has to close
Breakfast every hour, it could save the world

So hey do you do judo in your finery
An angel's face is tricky to wear constantly

Thunder wishes it could be the snow
Wishes it could be as loud as she can be
These gifts are here, for her, for you, for me
Lieeeya Aaa laaa, aaa haa, for her, for her, mmm hmm

Tori Amos "Purple People."
And my fav quote from the song, "And on and on The nurses make it clear Just when you escape, you have yourself to Fear "

[grannie9]

If I ever get to the point of understanding that...do me a favor..? Shoot me!!!

I think you must have had to be there, and it's quite evident that I haven't been.. ;)

Ohhh.. and I'm in no rush to get there either.......groan...
