STRONG & FREE
Come along
Flow right along with them
Make the most of today.
Shake yourself awake.
Let the winds of enthusiasm sweep through you.
Live today with gusto.
Dale Carnegie
Now and then shout out
that great battle cry of the hippies.
GO WITH THE FLOW!!
ONE MOMENT IN TIME
Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel
I will feel eternity

If you are depressed,
You are living in the past.
If you are anxious,
You are living in the future.
If you are at peace,
You are living in the present.

I see trees of green. Red roses too
I see em bloom. For me and for you
And I think to myself. What a wonderful world.
I see skies of blue. Clouds of white
Bright blessed days. Dark sacred nights
And I think to myself. What a wonderful world.
The colors of a rainbow. So pretty. In the sky
Are also on the faces. Of people.. Going by
I see friends shaking hands. Sayin. How do you do
They're really sayin. I love you.
I hear babies cry. I watch them grow
They'll learn much more. Then I'll never know
And I think to myself. What a wonderful world
The colors of a rainbow. So pretty.. In the sky
Are there on the faces.. Of people.. Going by
I see friends shaking hands. Sayin.. How do you do
They're really sayin. I Love You.
I hear babies cry. I watch them grow
You know they're gonna learn
A whole lot more than I'll never know
And I think to myself. What a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself. What a wonderful world.
Yes, the world has great beauty and great ugliness. Great love and great hatred. Auschwitz and Ode to Joy. Louie did what he could to bring beauty, love and joy into the world. And with eyes wide, well aware of ugliness, hatred and gas chambers, so must we.

Well if you want to say yes, say yes
And if you want to say no, say no
'Cause there's a million ways to go
You know that there are
You can do what you want
The opportunity's on
And if you can find a new way
You can do it today
Well, if you want to sing out, sing out
And if you want to be free, be free
'Cause there's a million things to be
You know that there are

Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it,
no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason
and your own common sense.

I DID IT MY WAY
And now, the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I traveled each and ev'ry highway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way.
For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught
The right to say the things he feels
and not the words of one who kneels
And may I say, not in a shy way,
"Oh no, oh no not me, I did it my way"
Paul Anka

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways---chardonnay in one hand---chocolate in the other---body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming:
WOO HOOOOO! What a ride!
Hunter Thompson
