"Life is too short, grudges are a waste of perfect happiness, laugh when you can, apologize
when you should, and let go of what you can't change. Love deeply and forgive quickly, take chance give
everything, and have no regrets. Life is too short to be unhappy, you have to take the good with the bad, smile when you're sad. Love what you’ve got and always remember what you had. Always forgive but never
forget, learn from your mistakes, but never regret. People change and things go wrong, but always
remember...LIFE GOES ON!!!"
Those are the words of George Carlin after the passing of his wife . . .
Yes, I truly believe this . . . Forgive . . . I forgive everyone . . . Does everyone forgive me for my perceived transgressions? Probably not . . .
"Perfect happiness" . . . Nothing is perfect, but we have to rise above the shit we ALL experience . . . Rise above baby! Happiness truly IS within . . .
Yes, life is too short to be unhappy . . . Let's NOT be whiny and negative and complaining . . .
Smile and laugh when you're sad . . . YES!! And as my beloved grandmother always told me . . . When you feel badly, DO something for another human being . . . Acts of generosity evoke gratitude . . . Generosity and gratitude raise consciousness . . .
So, will YOU do something to raise consciousness?
FORGIVE . . . RISE ABOVE . . . DON'T WHINE . . . BE GENEROUS AND GRATEFUL . . .
And when we encounter weak people, our strong vibration might just help them RISE ABOVE!!
Together, we CAN do this!
Peace and love . . .
Life is beautiful baby!!
Ciao!!

Am I allowed one more?
OK, I said I was saying goodbye to blogging, but I HAVE to write this one more post . . . :)
I'm sitting here with morning coffee, and pondering a few things . . . Like, along with everyone, how truly imperfect I am . . . And, how much inspiration we can draw from the strength of others . . .
I spent a few hours on Saturday with two very dear friends . . . One of them has a terribly serious form of cancer, and treatment is not always successful . . . It's multiple myeloma . . . Only 35% of victims are still with us five years after diagnosis . . . It's almost one year now . . .
However, this man displays such incredible strength of spirit! He's upbeat and positive, and never speaks of anything but recovering . . . He seems to be doing quite well so far, and no doubt his attitude is playing a huge role . . .
He said something that truly resonated with me . . . He said, and this is a direct quote, I'm doing my best to live every moment, every day, as big as possible, because that's the only way to do it . . . He no longer takes anything for granted . . . And, he said it perfectly . . . THAT'S THE ONLY WAY TO DO IT . . . BIG! He hit it squarely on the head baby!
It's impossible not to be inspired by this person . . . Maybe we all need a friend who can inspire like this, to make us realize we should be more grateful for what was have, and to be perfectly involved in every moment of life . . .
So Tommy, I and everyone else you inspire thank you for being you! And you know what? If anyone is going to make it, it's YOU!
Life is beautiful!
Peace and love . . .

Happy
Know what pisses me off?
People who are all about negativity . . . I don't get that . . . I don't enjoy that . . . I don't like that . . . Nor do I tolerate that . . . I simply walk away from those people . . .
Yeah, I'm a happy, a positive person . . .
Had a chat with a dear friend whose wife had surgery recently . . . It's cancer . . .
And we talked about . . . Why do we not value the moment until we have a traumatic experience? Is there something about the human being that prevents us from enjoying the moment? Until . . . We are smacked in the face?
So, my message is this . . .
Enjoy and treasure the moment . . . And if you do, you're one of the point zero zero zero one percent . . .
Life is beautiful baby!!
Peace and love . . .
Until next time . . . Ciao!!

Random stuff on a chilly afternoon . . .
Just back from lunch with a friend . . . Had planned to get to the gym, but ate too much, so will let it digest for an hour and write this in the meantime . . .
So many people who worked at the WTC site after the attacks have developed cancer . . . Why is it that they have to fight so hard to obtain health benefits that should be automatic?
Serena went ballistic again at the US Open . . . I don't like to see that . . . I have nothing but admiration for the Williams sisters, but man, ya gotta dial that stuff back Serena! Did it help you win? Not quite . . .
I don't talk much about politics, but the Republican party in the USA has gone absolutely freakin' insane! Some of those tea party folks are just plain whacky . . .
Summer is ending . . . I NEVER like to see it end!
No matter what I do at the gym, and no matter which supplements (all legal!) I take, I can't seem to get past 180 . . .
I hope I'll never encounter a salt water croc . . . Those things are beyond vicious . . .
I'm a Steelers fan, but they looked OLD against the Ravens yesterday . . .
What can you say about Ray Lewis of the Ravens? This dude is still playing like a 28 year old . . .
I was flipping through channels last week looking for a college football game, and I happened upon Keeping Up with the Kardashians . . . I have to ask, how much cosmetic surgery has Bruce Jenner had? At a certain point, people just start to look VERY weird . . .
As I compose this, Nadal and Djokovic are going mano a mano . . . I have to go with Rafa, 'cause I always like the leftie . . .
Can you believe it? I've never owned a cell phone . . .
I was at a restaurant recently and saw a man with a group of six . . . He had two blackberries going, and was completely ignoring everyone else . . . I thought, Why not just stay home?
A gym bud just got back from Thailand . . . He said, Snake, you have to go!
OK, I'll go . . . And . . . I'll be humming this song . . .
Life is beautiful baby!
Peace and love . . .

A GREAT summer . . .
Yeah . . . Wonderful . . . Absolutely fantastic!
I can hear Mozart playing his piano in the background . . . lol
Time with family . . . Time with friends . . . A cancer victim hanging in . . . Traveling . . . Whale watching on the West coast . . . Visiting friends on the East coast . . .
Working out like a demon . . .
All in all . . .
I won't and can't complain . . .
Life is beautiful baby!!
Peace and love . . .
