The masters in the art of living make little distinction between their work and their play, their labor and their leisure, their minds and their bodies, their information, their recreation, their love and their religion. They hardly know which is which, they simply pursue their vision of excellence at whatever they do, leaving others to decide whether they are working or playing.

Is there a rights-of-passage to become a member of their hedonistic throng?
If I like what I see can I join?
Oh, and finally, as a member will I get a free lapel pin?

Thanks! I'll admit to having a comfortable chair that I'm not ashamed to use...

Now that I've had a chance to chew on this a bit... Love what you do and you'll never have to work a day in your life!

If you have food in your refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof over your head and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75 percent of the world.

Just ONE of the reasons I give thanks every day, and most particularly this time of year. I AM the blessed 25%.

You can never make the same mistake twice......... because the second time is not a mistake....... it is a choice.

If you take all the money in the world and dived it evenly to all the people, Within 5 or 10 years Most of the same 25% of the people will have it back. It's called using your head and also WORKING for a living.
Thats how they got it in the first place.

How Much Would This Cost?
One midnight deep in starlight still
I dreamed that I received this bill:
..............In account with life:
Five thousand breathless dawns all new;
Five thousand flowers fresh in dew;
Five thousand sunsets wrapped in gold;
One million snowflakes served ice cold,
Five quiet friends; one baby's love;
One white-mad sea with clouds above;
One hundred music-haunted dreams
Of moon drenched roads and hurrying streams,
One June night in a fragrant wood;
One heart that loved and understood.
I wondered when I woke that day
'How much this would cost if I had to pay?'

I think it's nice that SpyderLovers suddenly opened up a poets corner. It would be especially good if some bard hereabouts could be persuaded to pen a few lines expressing the pleasure of Spyder riding, or related topics.
The mysterious trike.
I was driving along in the warm light of day
When I espied a three-wheeler goin' the opposite way
Intrigued, I hand-braked, turned my car right around
All four wheels sliding, not gripping the ground
Then I took off on that trike-rider's tail
Dirt flying up from that dusty old trail.
I wish I could tell you that before driving far
I'd seen him pulled over at a roadside bar,
Where I'd stopped, got out, shared a jug of cold beer
With the rider of the trike who had guided me here.
But the truth of the matter, I now must relate
Is stranger than fiction, weirder than fate
And I never met up with my trike-mounted mate.
Speeding along fast, through a dust cloud sent flyin'
Set off my asthma until I felt I was dyin'.
For mile after mile, then the dust suddenly cleared.
He should have been there. But he'd gone. Disappeared.
I believe not in demons, nor things that aren't true
Like goblins, or trikers, casting dark spells on you.
I live in the real world, the world of Can-Am
Where all mysteries are known, (at least that's their plan).
But I'd love to know what happened, the day I gave chase,
Losing a trike in a dust cloud means I also lose face.
So it isn't very often I recall the weird tale
Of the trike that vanished on that dusty old trail.

November 24 Happy Thanksgiving
Let not your mind run on what you lack as much as on what you have already. Of the things you have, select the best; and then reflect how eagerly they would have been sought after, had you not had them

Dreams are the soul's pantry. Keep it well stocked and your soul will never hunger.

Ok, been off the site for awhile, so I'll summerise my reponses. Yes I did, Yes I am, No I didn't, I don't know, 25% yes, 75% maybe. I do, I don't. I don't remember. And, I'm blessed. So there.
