Subject: Re: "Life Is What You Make It To Be...

Hello Ed~
I thought you would like mine:

"It is not what you make, but rather it is what you keep!" 

Everyone remember the big gig, tip or that awsome weekend, but when it is
all said and done and the year is up, how much did you keep?

And of course my favorite one,  "It is not what you twist, but rather how
you twist it." anyone can make a balloon dog, but it takes someone with
true talent to make it fun and a memory to last forever (ButteryflyMan
Where are you?)

Another one I like, "Life is an adventure and death is the prize that
awaits us all." When each of us reach that prize, when we turn around and
see the life that we have led, will the adventure have been wasted or
will you be happy with what you have accomplished along the way?

and lastly I offer up the SOUL TWISTER, some food for thought (although
not very origanial,it is an remake of the old Walter Tevis quote."

				SOUL TWISTER
In business you can pretend that skill and determination had brought you
along when it had only been luck and muddle: A balloon twister does not
have the freedom to believe that.

There are  well-paid incompetents everywhere living rich lives. You can
fake and bluff your way into all of it: Hotel suites overlooking
Caribbean beaches, blow jobs from women of stunning beauty, restaurant
meals that take four tuxedoed waiters to serve, the lamb or duck or
terrine sliced with perecise and elegant thinness, sitting just so on the
plate, the silver fork heavy, gleaming in your manicured hand below the
broadcloth cuff and mother of pearl buttons. You could get that from luck
and deceit, even while causing the business or the government that paid
you to do poorly at what it did.

But if you twist balloons, if you committed yourself to any life where
you have to deliver over and over againg, against others who put theri
souls into trying to take business from you, YOU CAN NOT FAKE IT!

Peace 
Just me Sir T rambling on early this Saturday morning
"Facing backwards I see the past,our nation gained, our nation lost, our
sovereignty 
Gone. All traded for the promise of progress.Facing the future I see
hope, hope that 
we will survive, hope that we will prosper.  For without hope I cannot
live. Remember 
the past but do not dwell there. Face the future where all our hopes
stand."  ---Kamakawiwo'ole
