Journey
If there were ever a time to dare, To make a difference To embark on something worth doing It is now. Not for any grand cause, necessarily But for something that tugs at your heart Something that is worth your aspiration Something that is your dream. You owe it to yourself To make your days count. Have fun. Dig deep. Stretch. Dream Big. Know, though, That things worth doing Seldom come easy, There will be times when you want to Turn around Pack it up and call it quits Those times tell you That you are pushing yourself And that you are not afraid to learn by trying. Persist. Because with an idea, Determination and the right tools, You can do great things. Let your instincts, your intellect And let your heart guide you. Trust. Believe in the incredible power Of the human mind Of doing something that makes a difference Of working hard Of laughing and hoping Of lasting friends Of all the things that will cross your path Next year The start of something new Brings the hope of something great. Anything is possible There is only one you And you will pass this way but once. Do it right.

The Beauty of the Cowgirl

For one, they spend time outdoors. A lot of time. So much that every inch of their face, style and body reflects it, cowgirl or boy, whether it’s in the form of deeply tanned skin, dusty boots or strong build. A quick way to tell a real-deal cowgirl or boy from the urban variety is in their movements, strong and purposeful and unhurried all at once. That, and a glance at their hands. The hands of the real deal are muscular and constantly being used to tie something or grasp something or direct something. They are typically thick, strong and sinewy and lined. Like the face, there is a lot of authenticity in the hands of the cowgirl or boy.

 

Curtain Rods—PRICELESS‏

Ya know, sometimes you have to have a good laugh, to get through some of life’s challenges. Who would have thought of this. I should have!!!  Exterminators, dead rodents… half-eaten shrimp shells dipped in caviar into  the hollow of the curtain rods. Oh how funny….

She spent the first  day packing her belongings into boxes, crates and suitcases.

On the second day, she  had the movers come and collect her  things.

On the third day, she  sat down for the last time at their beautiful dining room table by candle-light, put on some  soft background music, and feasted on a pound of  shrimp, a jar of caviar, and a bottle of spring-water.

When she had finished,  she went into each and every room and deposited a  few half-eaten shrimp shells dipped in caviar into  the hollow of the curtain rods.

She then cleaned up  the kitchen and left… When the husband returned with his new girlfriend, all was bliss for the  first few days.
Then slowly, the house began to  smell.

They tried  everything; cleaning, mopping and airing the place  out.

Vents were checked for  dead rodents and carpets were steam  cleaned.

Air fresheners were  hung everywhere. Exterminators were brought in to set off gas canisters, during which they had to  move out for a few days and in the end they even  paid to replace the expensive wool  carpeting.
Nothing  worked!!!

People stopped coming  over to visit..
Repairmen refused to work  in the house.
The maid  quit.

Finally, they could  not take the stench any longer and decided to move.
A month later, even though they had cut  their price in half, they could not find a buyer  for their stinky house.

Word got out and  eventually even the local realtors refused to  return their calls.

Finally, they had to  borrow a huge sum of money from the bank to purchase a new place.

The ex-wife called the  man and asked how things were  going.

He told her the saga  of the rotting house. She listened politely and said that she missed her old home terribly and  would be willing to reduce her divorce settlement  in exchange for getting the house

Knowing his ex-wife  had no idea how bad the smell was, he agreed on a price that was about 1/10 th of what the house had  been worth, but only if she were to sign the  papers that very day.

She agreed and within  the hour his lawyers delivered the  paperwork.

A week later the man  and his girlfriend stood smiling as they watched the moving company pack everything to take to  their new home……..

And to spite the  ex-wife, they even took the curtain  rods.

I LOVE  A HAPPY ENDING, DON’T  YOU?

Keep Humor in your life…

Fabulous Friends!
