The other day I met with the doctor who helped me to beat cancer and he told me to let go....  he told me not to be so worried about what I'm doing, or what I look like, but to just let myself go once in a while. This really got me thinking. Maybe I should let go. Maybe I should do something crazy, just so I can say I did. He told me I have many long years ahead of me, and plenty of time to live a fun and happy life. Sometimes, an opportunity only knocks at the door once, and if you don't answer it at that particular moment, then you'll never get another chance. Life is tough, and most of the time we spend our days wondering why things go the way they do. After thinking for a while I'm finally realizing that maybe thinking about this so much, is wasting the time in which we could be going out and making the days go better. We're wasting the time we have here on Earth. By attempting to figure out why life goes the way it does, we lose time when we could be having fun, and living our lives to the fullest. We are only here for a short amount of time, an average of 70-80 years, but it goes faster than we realize. It's so incredibly important to live every day to it's fullest potnetial. When you're laying on your death bed do you want to look back and think of the things that you wished you had done? |
| I don't know about you but I want to look back and remember all the times when I let myself go, and had fun. I want to remember the times when I actually let myself be open to try new things, and open the door to wonderful opportunities. Thought for today: Life is only wonderful if you leave yourself open to be part of it. Think about it. Have a fantastic day. BF |

It is a good thing to change it up from time to time. If you are successful in a career but unhappy try something else even if you lose out financially.

Goes back to the old adage. Don't forget to stop and smell the flowers!! Don't worry about anything. Pray about everything. Guy Penrod has a great song by that title. I think you'd enjoy it. Maybe even put it on your iPod.

Way to go Bill on the cancer trip and your doc is correct -- let go and focus on the positive. Enjoy life for many, many more years and concentrate on enjoying and making the most of each day.
I was diagnosed with LC last August and thanks to a miricle pill, Tarceva, I'm doing fine except for some side effects of the cancer pill -- but I'm not complaining! So far the pill has me free of cancer.
Doug: sorry your dad has to enter foray and hoping for the best for him.
Have a great week.
