Thought for today: 

“The best way  to  teach your kids about taxes is by eating  30 percent of their ice  cream.”  

Bill  Murray 

FOREST GUMP DIES 

AND GOES TO HEAVEN 

AND HE IS ASKED  

THREE QUESTIONS ....

I HAVE RECEIVED THIS AT LEAST 10 TIMES

SO I'LL PUT IT ON MY BLOG.....

SURPRISE

You got to get outside ….

You got to get outside yourself ….

You got to open your eyes ….
You got to open your ears ....

You got to open your mind ….

It's then you'll see ....
It's then you'll hear ....
It's then when you'll experience
so many surprises everywhere ….

maybe even inside yourself.

Thought for today:

LAST  RIGHTS

As priest just anointed a mom and wife -

with the kids and dad around  the bed.

Hospice has been called and now it’s

only a matter of time to say right last words.

There will be plenty of time afterwards

to thank God for all the good we did right

and forgiveness for what we did wrong -

but not now - not now - just right words now.

Thought for today: 

“The most important  pathological effects  of pollution are extremely  delayed and indirect.”  

Rene Dubos

WHY THE RUSH?

Do birds and bees know shortcuts?

Upon arrival, does a bluebird wonder

how this cardinal got to this water spot

ahead of me - and started after me?

Do birds and bees get distracted or sidetracked?

Why rush? Some branches have better

scenic overviews than others? Why not stop

to smell the roses on the way as they say?

Why the rush?
