grateful or appreciative of someone or something in your life actually attracts
more of the things that you appreciate and value into your life.

9 Thoughts to Think About -- From My Wise Friend With Sense of Humor!
Number 9: Death is the #1 killer in the world.
Number 8: Life is sexually transmitted.
Number 7: Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.
Number 6: Men have two emotions: hungry and horny, and they can't tell them apart. If you see a gleam in his eyes, make him a sandwich.
Number 5: Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day.
Teach a person to use the Internet and they won't bother you for weeks, months, maybe years.
Number 4: Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in the hospital, dying of nothing.
Number 3: All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.
Number 2: In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird, and people take Prozac to make it normal.
Number 1: Life is like a jar of jalapeno peppers. What you do today might burn your ass tomorrow.

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.
