TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT THE LADDER TO SUCCESS ...
“The ELEVATOR to success is OUT OF ORDER.
You’ll have to use the LADDER …
ONE STEP AT A TIME.”
~ Joe Girard
THERE ARE NO SHORTCUTS IN LIFE!
ALL OUR DREAMS CAN COME TRUE ~
IF WE HAVE THE COURAGE TO PURSUE THEM!

Have a GREAT NEW WEEK !
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ON HEALTH ...
"If you trust GOOGLE more than your DOCTOR
then maybe it's time to SWITCH DOCTORS."

Don't let WORRY and STRESS control you !
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT WORRY ...
"Some of your HURTS you have CURED,
And the SHARPEST you still have SURVIVED,
But what TORMENTS OF GRIEF you ENDURED,
From the EVIL WHICH NEVER ARRIVED."
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
DO NOT ANTICIPATE TROUBLE OR WORRY ABOUT
WHAT MAY NEVER HAPPEN.
WORRY, DOUBT, FEAR, AND DESPAIR ARE THE ENEMIES THAT SLOWLY BRING US DOWN TO THE GROUND AND TURN US TO DUST BEFORE WE DIE.
WORRY NEVER GETS US ANYWHERE!
With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,
Richard

Sending LOTS OF LOVE your way !
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT HUGS ...
"HUGGING is the IDEAL GIFT.
GREAT for any occasion, FUN to give and receive, shows you care, comes with its own wrapping and, of course, is fully returnable.
HUGGING is PRACTICALLY PERFECT.
> No batteries to wear out,
> inflation-proof,
> nonfattening,
> no monthly payments,
> theft-proof
> and NONTAXABLE."
THROUGH YOUR EMBRACE YOU SPEAK A THOUSAND WORDS, WITHOUT EVER SAYING ONE!

CDBaby.com / ITunes - Dr. Pamela Olson4 months ago
Instead of vowing to honor and obey each other, we should swear to aid and abet each other.
Human physiology does not direct all of its own functions; it is interdependent. It must be steadied by the physical presence of another. This is necessary for both physical and emotional health. In many ways, humans cannot be stable on their own—they require another to survive.
If a man does not make new acquaintances as he advances through life, he will soon find himself alone. A man should keep his friendships in constant repair.
But whether it be dream or truth, to do well is what matters. If it be truth, for truth's sake. If not, then to gain friends for the time when we awaken.
--Pedro Calderon de la Barca - Richard Harris5 months ago

Catch the CHRISTMAS SPIRIT !
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT ...
"Best of all, CHRISTMAS means a SPIRIT OF LOVE,
a time when the love of GOD and the love of our FELLOW MEN should prevail over all HATRED and BITTERNESS,
a time when our thoughts and deeds and the spirit of our lives MANIFEST THE PRESENCE OF GOD."
CHRISTMAS IS MOST TRULY CHRISTMAS WHEN WE CELEBRATE IT BY GIVING THE LIGHT OF LOVE TO THOSE WHO NEED IT MOST!
