My Dad used to have a tin plate hangin in his office...here is what it said" "And when the one Great Scorer Comes to Score against your name...It matters not that you won or lost, but how you played the game" We all go through life pretty much under the "same rules" It's tought to lose friends or wife's of friends, but the in the end when we meet the almighty it pretty much matters how we played the game. Thinkin of U, SunCatcher |

quote izzy: "...They never complained. But they asked that each day we should count our blessings. And we should. So every day for them, please take a look around and see how good we have things. And take time to appreciate the wonders of nature and the world we live in. I agree with you Izz and I'm so sorry for your loss - it's so sad. As I get ready for this upcoming trip I will remember this and remind my trip partners. Thank you for sharing this and reminding us. Talk to you in a week :) |

It's appreciating the little things and having the little diversions that help you go on. I stumbled upon BWCA.COM during such a time. It's been a nice diversion since - it brings me to my happy place. |

quote izzy: "I just got back from a funeral. A good friend of mine lost his wife to cancer. They never complained. But they asked that each day we should count our blessings. And we should. So every day for them, please take a look around and see how good we have things. And take time to appreciate the wonders of nature and the world we live in. AMEN!!! |

quote mc2mens: "And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years. ~Abraham Lincoln Mae West had a somewhat similar quote: "It's not the men in your life that count, it's the life in your men" ......Ok well kinda sorta similar |
