Live Life

“Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.”

Maria Robinson

Yesterday was pretty full and today is loaded and will test my capacity. But it will be good for I have a meeting with a new friend from Africa who is a welcome addition to our community. In addition I will search the pile, find the parts, weld them together and then lock in the adventures I will pursue in the weeks ahead. In that spirit here is a poem for both of us to enjoy and maybe inspire.

 

Live Life

Life is crazy, and totally unpredictable...

It's going to push you over,

kick you while you're down

and hit you when you try to get back up.

Not everything can beat you.

Things are going to change you,

But you get to choose which ones you let change you.

Listen to your heart, Follow your dreams,

And let no one tell you what you're capable of.

Push the limits, Bend the rules,

And enjoy every minute of it.

Laugh at everything,

Live for as long as you can.

Love all, But trust none.

Believe in yourself,

And never lose faith in others

Settle for nothing but only the best,

And give 110% in everything you do.

Take risks, Live on the edge, Yet stay safe,

And cherish every moment of it.

Life is a gift,

Appreciate all the rewards,

And jump on every opportunity.

Not everyone's going to love you

But who needs them anyways.

Challenge everything,

And fight for what you believe.

Back down to nothing,

But give in to the little things in life,

After all, that is what makes you.

Forget the unnecessary,

But remember everything,

Bring it with you everywhere you go.

Learn something new,

And appreciate criticism.

Hate nothing, But dislike what you want.

Never forget where you came from,

And always remember where you are going.

Live Life to its fullest,

And have a reason for everything,

Even if it's totally insane.

Find Your purpose in life, and Live it!

“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”

The shoe dealer was hiring a clerk.  "Suppose," he said, "a lady customer were to remark while you were trying to fit her, 'Don't you think one of my feet is bigger than the other?' What would you say?"

"I would say, 'On the contrary, Ma'am, one is smaller than the other.' "

"The job is yours."

Everybody repeat after me: "We are all individuals!"

Morty and Sarah had just returned home from a party. Sarah said, "Do you realize what you did tonight, Morty?"

"No I don't," Morty replied, "But I'll admit I was wrong. What did I do?"

One night a blonde nun was praying in her room when God appeared before her. "My daughter, you have pleased me greatly. Your heart is full of love for your fellow creatures and your actions and prayers are always for the benefit of others. I have come to you, not only to thank and commend you, but to grant you anything you wish," said God. "Dear Heavenly Father, I am perfectly happy. I am a bride of Christ. I am doing what I love. I lack for nothing material since the Church supports me. I am content in all ways," said the nun.

"There must be something you would have of me," said God.

"Well, there is one thing," she said.

"Just name it," said God.

"It's those blond jokes. They are so demeaning to blondes everywhere, not just to me. I would like for blond jokes to stop."

"Consider it done," said God. "Blonde jokes shall be stricken from the minds of humans everywhere. But surely there is something that I could do just for you."

"There is one thing. But it's really small, and not worth your time," said the nun.

"Name it. Please," said God.

"It's the M&M's," said the nun. "They're so hard to peel."

It goes without saying that you should never have more children than you have car windows.

The little boy wasn't getting good marks in school. One day he made the teacher quite surprised. He tapped her on the shoulder and said, "I don't want to scare you, but my daddy says if I don't get better grades, somebody is going to get a spanking."

Stay well, do good work, and have fun.
