Just a little something to think about… No one ever lies on their death bed saying they wish they had worked more hours or made more money. It is wishes for more time with family and friends, places left unseen that normally come to mind. What will you be left wishing for? Why haven’t you done it yet?

But I do love Samuel. And Iām from Missouri so I have to give props to my fellow show me boy.
So why am I still sitting at my desk?? Argh! At least I’m not really working… š
You’ve been tagged! Love ya.
That’s the first time I’ve heard that quote, and it rings true on so many levels. Now all we need is just a wee bit extra pay and europe here we come!
I have been dealing with this issue since last night – I have cried enough tears to stop our local drought! I’m working on those wishes as we speak. š
Uh, I haven’t done it yet because I have to work more hours and make more money? š
I’m on the track, just waiting for my Twain to come in.
Unlike Sisyphus, I will get the rock to the top and this struggle will not be eternal.
With the help of my friends and with my inner strength, I will succeed.
