Quote:
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. Mark Twain (1835 - 1910) . . . . . . Never make someone a priority who only considers you an option. Og Mandino - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Three men are sitting stiffly side by side on a long commercial flight. After they're airborne and the plane has leveled off the man in the window seat abruptly says distinctly and confidently in a low voice "General United States Army retired. Married two sons both surgeons." After a few minutes the man in the aisle seat states through a tightlipped smile "General United States Air Force retired. Married two sons both judges." After some thought the fellow in the center seat decides to introduce himself. With a twinkle in his eye he proclaims " Gunnery Sergeant United States Marine Corps retired. Never married two sons both Generals." SEMPER FIDELIS

Dear TomSki, I too agree this poem is a great life philosophy. Thank you for sharing. Could you please tell me what the email address is at the bottom. I increased by percentage, up to 250% but that just made it worst, so I kept trying all the way back to 100%, so I did try to get it and just can't! Thank you my friend. Love ya and Hgs....Rachael Wherry
