    LIFE  can give us a CHOICE between the pain of the GYM
    and the pain of the HOSPITAL !
     

    "JACKSON'S LOVE - FOR THE LOVE OF A CHILD" -  MY BRAND NEW CD - HAS JUST BEEN RECORDED - WATCH FOR IT @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT THE 2 PAINS OF LIFE ...

    "We must all SUFFER from ONE of TWO PAINS:

    the pain of DISCIPLINE or the pain of REGRET.

    The difference is DISCIPLINE weighs OUNCES

    while REGRET weighs TONS.”

    ~ Jim Rohn

    "IF ONLY" ~

    THOSE MUST BE THE TWO SADDEST WORDS

    IN THE WORLD.

    NOBODY'S PERFECT !
     
     
    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT PERFECTION ...

    "I don't like these COLD, PRECISE, PERFECT PEOPLE

    who, in order not to SPEAK WRONG, NEVER SPEAK

    AT ALL, and in order not to DO WRONG, NEVER DO

    ANYTHING."

    ~ Henry Ward Beecher

    IMPERFECTIONS ARE PART OF BEING HUMAN.

    EVEN PERFECT PEOPLE USE PENCILS WITH ERASERS!

    My Dear Friend !

     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT FRIENDSHIP ...

    "A FRIEND is what the HEART NEEDS all the time.

    Anyone can tell you IT WON'T HURT TOMORROW.

    But I'm here to LISTEN WHILE IT HURTS TODAY."

    A FRIEND IS SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS YOUR

    PAST, BELIEVES IN YOUR FUTURE, AND ACCEPTS

    YOU JUST THE WAY YOU ARE TODAY!

    With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

    Have a LAUGH TODAY !

     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS FROM GEORGE CARLIN ...

    “There's no present. There's only the immediate future and the recent past."

    "Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that."

    "When cheese gets it's picture taken, what does it say?"

    "When someone is impatient and says, "I haven't got all day," I always wonder, How can that be? How can you not have all day?"

    "I thought about how mothers feed their babies with tiny little spoons and forks so I wondered, what do Chinese mothers use? Toothpicks?"

    "Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?"

    "If it’s true that our species is alone in the universe, then I’d have to say that the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little."

    "Weather forecast for tonight: Dark. Continued dark overnight, with widely scattered light by morning."

    "I put a dollar in a change machine. Nothing changed."

    ~ George Carlin

    Happy Valentine's Day !

     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT VALENTINE'S DAY ...

    "All you NEED IS LOVE.

    But a LITTLE CHOCOLATE

    now and then DOESN'T HURT."

     ~ Charles M. Schulz

    WHAT THE WORLD REALLY NEEDS IS MORE LOVE

    AND LESS PAPERWORK!
