TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT LIFE ...

"The BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE is the one on which you decide YOUR LIFE is your own. No APOLOGIES or EXCUSES. No one to LEAN ON, RELY ON, or BLAME.

The GIFT OF LIFE is YOURS; it is an AMAZING JOURNEY; and YOU ALONE are responsible for the quality of it. ”

~ Dan Zadra

IF YOU DON'T LIKE BEING A DOORMAT ~ THEN

GET OFF THE FLOOR! YOU ARE TOUGHER AND

STRONGER THAN YOU THINK!

Be CHARITABLE Close!

 

(Richard is a patient with Primary Systemic Amyloidosis)

TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT CHARITY ...

"The best thing to give to your ENEMY is FORGIVENESS;

to an OPPONENT, TOLERANCE; to a FRIEND, your HEART;

to your CHILD, a GOOD EXAMPLE; to a FATHER,

DEFERENCE; to your MOTHER, conduct that will MAKE HER

PROUD of you; to YOURSELF, RESPECT; to ALL MEN,

CHARITY."
  
~ Francis Maitland Balfour

CHARITY SEES THE NEED NOT THE CAUSE!  NO ACT OF

KINDNESS, HOWEVER SMALL, IS EVER FORGOTTEN!

TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT PEACE OF MIND ...

"SUCCESS, HAPPINESS, PEACE OF MIND and

FULFILLMENT – the MOST PRICELESS of human

treasures – are available to all among us, without

make ‘GOOD’ things happen – in the world around them."

~ Joe Klock

TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT THE MOTOWN SOUND ...

In 1959, Berry Gordy gathered the best musicians from Detroit's thriving jazz and blues scene to begin cutting songs for his new record company. Starting with an $800 loan, Gordy turned MOTOWN RECORDS and Detroit, Michigan into "HITSVILLE U.S.A."

Between 1959 and 1972,  this unheralded group of musicians had played on MORE # 1 HITS than the

> BEACH BOYS,
> the ROLLING STONES,
> ELVIS
> and the BEATLES ... COMBINED ~

which makes them the GREATEST HIT MACHINE in the history of popular music.

These great musicians called themselves simply
the FUNK BROTHERS.

I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN THE SHADOWS OF MOTOWN
AND OWE MUCH TO THEIR RICH MUSICAL LEGACY.

TODAY'S THOUGHT IS FROM "IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE" ...

Potter, the banker, has given a speech to the Board of the Building and Loan, referring to the working people of Bedford Falls as a "DISCONTENTED LAZY RABBLE."

George Bailey responds, defending his late father, Peter Bailey, and the working people whom he championed.

"... he did help a few people get out of your slums, Mr. Potter. And what's wrong with that? ... You...you said...What'd you say just a minute ago?...They had to wait and save their money before they even ought to think of a decent home. Wait! Wait for what? Until their children grow up and leave them? Until they're so old and broken-down that they...Do you know how long it takes a working man to save five thousand dollars?

Just remember this, Mr. Potter, that THIS RABBLE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ... THEY DO MOST OF THE WORKING AND PAYING AND LIVING AND DYING IN THIS COMMUNITY. Well, is it too much to have them work and pay and live and die in a couple of decent rooms and a bath? Anyway, my father didn't think so. PEOPLE WERE HUMAN BEINGS TO HIM, BUT TO YOU, A WARPED FRUSTRATED OLD MAN, THEY'RE CATTLE.  Well, in my book HE DIED A MUCH RICHER MAN THAN YOU'LL EVER BE!"

ALWAYS REMEMBER, NO MAN IS A FAILURE WHO HAS FRIENDS!
