WITandWISDOM(tm) - February 23, 2007 ISSN 1538-8794 ~~~~~~~ THOUGHTS: Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant. - Robert Louis Stevenson Source: Marcella's Inspiring Collection http://tinyurl.com/w9nb9 ~~~~~~~ SPECIAL THOUGHTS: Some of the Best Moments in Life... To fall in love. To clear your last exam. To find your exam-results much better than you expected. To feel butterflies in the stomach every time that you see that person. To pass time with your best friends and family. To laugh until it hurts your stomach. To listen to your favorite song on the radio. To wake up and realize it is still possible to sleep for a couple of hours. To hear a song that makes you remember a special person. To receive a call from someone, you don't see a lot, but you want to. To be part of a team. To watch the sunset from the hill top. To go for a vacation to some pretty place. To go to bed and to listen while it rains outside. To leave the shower and find that the towel is warm. To find money in a pant-pocket that you haven't used since last year . To laugh at yourself looking at mirror. To laugh without a reason. To accidentally hear somebody say something good about you. To make new friends. To see people that you feel and care for feeling happy. To use a sweater of the person that you like and find that it still smells of their perfume. To See an old friend again and to feel that the things have not changed. To take an evening walk along the beach. To laugh .laugh........ and laugh ...... remembering stupid things done with stupid friends. Take time to create those moments.

"His mind wandered so far it came back with souvenirs." "Brother Preptil, the master of the music, had described Brutha's voice as putting him in mind of a disappointed vulture arriving too late at the dead donkey." "This was music that not only had escaped but had robbed a bank on the way out." "In any normal society, he would have been considered more unglued than a used stamp in a downpour." "They looked at one another in incomprehension, two minds driving the wrong way up a narrow street and waiting for the other man to reverse first." "...he'd hammered the nails in and glued the strings to them. But this wasn't too much of a problem, because Crash himself had the musical talent of a blocked nostril." "The other musicians around them were, it was true, quite bad. But that's all they were. They didn't have a drummer who missed the drums or a bass player with the same natural rhythm as a traffic accident." Selected from "Soul Music" and "Small Gods" by Terry Pratchett Source: Mark Mail, http://mrhumor.net/ ~~~~~~~ KEEP SMILING: My friend's preparations for a visit from her children included a trip to the bank. Waiting in line at the teller's window, she lamented to the middle-aged man behind her, "My children are in their 20s, and I'm still giving them money. When does it end?" "I'm not sure," the man replied while glancing uncomfortably at a paper in his hand, "but I'm not the one to ask. I'm here to deposit a check my mother gave me."

Several days later she discharged herself from the hospital to find out why her family did not visit her over Christmas. What she didn't know is that the hospital had a mix-up and told her family she had died. Her son Leopold said, "I could not believe it when she walked in through the front door and the whole family were all sitting around dressed in black and planning the funeral." "At least it explains why they could not find the body when we wanted to pay our last respects." Source: Ananova http://www.ananova.com
