gone fishin'

pleasure and peace rarely exist in this world.
to find both, simultaneously, is joyous
and seldom happens.
there are moments, however...

these moments make the rest of life tolerable, livable and worth it.

recognition of said moments is sometimes impossible
and requires an open mind and time to reflect...
enjoy or it is gone and not noticed at all.

grasp it and commit it to memory,
for it is fleeting
and a return engagement is usually non-negotiable
and in some cases, forbidden.

living out

Learn as if you were to live forever and live as if tomorrow were your last day...
Can we ever know all we should? Living is about learning, growing, and ultimately, changing. The one constant in this crazy world in which we live? Change. We have to continuously learn in order to keep up. Technology is always evolving; providing new ways to communicate, educate and enforce.

Find your constants and follow your dreams...
~love who you are and practice self-control
~love what you do - work or play
~love who you are with - they may be gone tomorrow
and live your life out, let go of regrets and sweet will be your reward.

rat-a-tat

Do you hear the knocking? That's opportunity and it is there every morning. It rises before you do. So..., get off your duff, walk to the door and open it. It's there waiting for you. You just have to meet it halfway and grab a hold. There may be work involved.

But..., you better answer or it may stop knocking. It may skip your door tomorrow.
Trust me, you don't want that.
