Get Motivated!
Just returned from a Motivation Seminar....and
am sorry I went!
Now I feel obligated to produce something....tangible from all the
investment of the speakers....
Gen. Colin Powell, Rudolph Giuliana, Bobby Bowden, Zig Ziglar,
and a host of other 'business' inspirers...
I already had more information in my head than I use anyway...
so why in the world would I place myself in an environment
to 'accumulate more information' that I won't use.......
Beats me
I enjoyed being with the people I went with, had some
good laughs
mixed with 'out of the ordinary' people who are
interested in 'personal growth' and ....what did I learn most?
How to deal with stress!
Traffic going and into parking, one hour in line to get a salad,
Traffic going and into parking, one hour in line to get a salad,
and an hour and a half driving back to Tampa afterwards...
all that was for 'free'......learned 'coping' skills anew.
I am now motivated....TO AVOID TRAFFIC AND STANDING IN LINE!
Guess you can tell that I have no desire to go to
Gasparilla this week-end....
I am motivated to....stay at home.
Halleluiah!

Below is a poem that I wrote a few years ago and it seems appropriate now...
I posted it in Feb. of 2003 along with some others
I had written at the same time...
To Be or Not To Be?
Have you ever let your soul....roll?
Have you ever set your spirit....free?
Have you gotten in tune with life
Like a monkey in a tree.....?
If you have not my friend,
Why, you need a kick in your end.....
Because life is a frolic when once we see,
That in taking ourselves soooo seriously,
We often miss the joy each day
Of living, fully, in a creative, fun-filled way....
But 'tis not too late to have some fun,
Just take your troubles to The Son....
For what He said is full of life,
Which cuts across all pain and strife
This releases both you and me...
To be totally and joyously,100% FREE!!!
John 8:36...... If the Son makes you free, then you will be FREE indeed.......

Dog Gone
Sharing a wonderful week-end with our friends,
Kurt, Melissa & Pammy Collins was....Fun.
Pam...who loves all animals....was surprised with a gift of tickets from her parents for the Tampa Convention Center hosting of the
AKC/Eukanuba National Championship.
They attended all day on Saturday and I took Kurt's ticket for Sunday so
that he could...of all things boring....watch a ball game with Charlie.
These dogs, all 3,471 of them, were presented at what was written about as...
'one of the most prestigious dog shows in the world'....
One 'guest' required pate, ordered from a specific restaurant with a note
from hotel concierge: "Hold the pistachios."
Another requests a masseuse.
Even the grass they walk on was replaced every day....
Pammy's favorite was Knotty, a bloodhound and last year's
AKC Best in Show Champion.
See last picture for Pammy's choice of....Champion this year....
Now the dogs are gone....but the fun memories remain to enjoy
again and again....
