(You want to) Make a Memory

This has got to be my most favorite song in quite a while, by Bon Jovi and just new out. I took it from Itunes today and have it on my ipod. Listened to it three times while out working in the flower beds. I've been out there working all day long and with the ipod its wonderful. Then of course, you get to thinking..I remember record players...bet most kids today don't know what that is..what about 8 track tapes?? Then of course it went to cassettes. then dvd's and now I have an IPOD. I have 8 hours of music on it, can change it in a matter of minutes to a totally different 8 hours of music..how cool is that?? this ipod is about the size of a quarter maybe. I love it! I am glad however that the neighbors here are aways away...am sure they would have gotten a good laugh out of both my singing out loud and my choice in music.! there is a little bit of everything on this ipod that is for sure. I've even got a full disney album on it right now, its good aerobic music!

In Memory

I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean.
She is an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch her until at length she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.
Then someone at my side says: “There, she is gone!””Gone where?”Gone from my sight.
That is all. She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side and she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port.
Her diminished size is in me, not in her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says: “There, she is gone!” there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout: ‘Here she comes!”
And that is dying.
Henry Van Dyke

Don't Quit

When things go wrong as they sometimes will. When the road you're trudging seems all uphill. When funds are low and the debts are high. And you want to smile, but you have to sigh. When care is pressing you down a bit. Rest, if you must, but don't you quit Life is queer with its twists and turns. As everyone of us sometimes learns. And many a failure turns about When he might have won had he stuck it out: Don't give up though the pace seems slow- you may succeed with another blow. Success is failure turned inside out- The silver tint of the clouds of doubt. And you never can tell how close you are. It may be near when it seems so far: So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit- It's when things seem worst that you must not QUIT Author unknown
