"There are only two days in the year that nothing can be done. One is called yesterday and the other is called tomorrow, so today is the right day to love, believe, do and mostly live.”

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ee9FWJHjcIc" Aint it just like a human, Here comes that rainbow again" Love the lyrics. Sometimes it's good to "lie" I see this beautiful human trait VERY VERY often. Watch for it. People helping and sacrificing for one another, " oh, that's nothing", "needed to get rid of that thing anyhow" , oh, it's no bother, I was looking for something to do anyhow" , ah, there's more where that come from, same price I paid for it......... and on and on. It is easy to see humanity's shortcomings, but MAN, look for it , and one can see "here comes the rainbow again" on a constant basis "them's two for a penny , she lied , What's it to you , she replied". I was blessed to know a man who was a kid when the Okie's , travelled through his area in Arizona on the way to California, and his Dad was one of "the liars", as they were almost as hard up, as thsoe poor people were. Johnny Cash said , this song was probably his favorite song of all. Kris Kristofferson - top of the line poets wrote it. Very inspiring. Alvin

A cabbie picks up a nun. She gets into the cab, and the cab driver won't stop staring at her. She asks him why is he staring and he replies, ''I have a question to ask you but I don't want to offend you.
She answers, 'My dear son, you cannot offend me. When you're as old as I am and have been a nun a long as I have, you get a chance to see and hear just about everything. I'm sure that there's nothing you could say or ask that I would find offensive.''
''Well, I've always had a fantasy to have a nun kiss me.''
She responds, ''Well, let's see what we can do about that: first, you have to be single and second, you must be Catholic.''
The cab driver is very excited and says, ''Yes, I am single and I'm Catholic too!''
The nun says ''OK, pull into the next alley.''
He does and the nun fulfills his fantasy. But when they get back on the road, the cab driver starts crying. ''My dear child, said the nun, why are you crying?''
''Forgive me sister, but I have sinned. I lied, I must confess, I'm married and I'm Jewish.''
The nun says, ''That's OK, my name is Kevin and I'm on my way to a Halloween party.''

Arnold Schwarzenegger Quotes. Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.

Everything you do is based on the choices you make. It's not your parents, your past relationships, your job, the economy, the weather, an argument or your age that is to blame. You and only you are responsible for every decision and choice you make. Period.
Wayne Dyer

Yes I have spoken to Carol, she actually bought the first house we had built before we were married. Carol is doing a great job with the Bipolar Foundation, and I agree she should be commended for that.

The Young Gunslinger and the Old Woman BY DIANA ZACCARO
She walked up and tied her old mule to the hitching post. As she stood there, brushing some of the dust from her face and clothes, a young gunslinger stepped out of the saloon with a gun in one hand and a bottle of whiskey in the other.
The young gunslinger looked at the old woman and laughed, "Hey old woman, have you ever danced?" The older woman looked up at the gunslinger and said, "No, I never did dance...never really wanted to."
A crowd had gathered as the gunslinger grinned and said, "Well, you old bag, you're gonna dance now," and started shooting at the old woman's feet. The old woman prospector, not wanting to get her toe blown off, started hopping around. Everybody was laughing. When his last bullet had been fired, the young gunslinger, still laughing, holstered his gun and turned around to go back into the saloon.
The older woman turned to her pack mule, pulled out a double-barreled shotgun and cocked both hammers. The loud clicks carried clearly through the desert air. The crowd stopped laughing immediately.
The young gunslinger heard the sounds, too, and he turned around very slowly. The silence was almost deafening. The crowd watched as the young gunman stared at the older woman and the large gaping holes of those twin barrels.
The barrels of the shotgun never wavered in the older woman's hands as she quietly said, "Son, have you ever kissed a mule's ass?" The gunslinger swallowed hard and said, "No M'am... but... I've always wanted to."
There are a few lessons here for all of us:
1 - Never be arrogant.
2 - Don't waste ammunition.
3 - Whiskey makes you think you're smarter than you are.
4 - Always, always make sure you know who has the power.
5 – Don't mess with older women. They didn't get old by being stupid

Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.” ― Mark Twain.
Heard this quote on a travel documentary series on Netflix , where Leon travels the world , relying on the kindness of others , and can not accept money , but only food and shelter , relying on the kindness of strangers worldwide . The series is called “ Kindness Diaries” Leon actually , has the means to pay his own way , but when he meets a person , who he recognizes as an example of living a life of exemplary kindness to others , he will give them back a major gift , to the recipients complete surprise . It is inspiring. A while ago , the recipient was a person from Red Deer , Alberta , who for years has hosted a Wednesday night meal and get together for immigrants in his city . Alvin

Do You Pray.
I love this interpretation of prayer.
What is prayer?. Prayer doesn't happen when we kneel or put our hands together and focus and expect things from God.
Thinking positive and wishing good for others is a prayer.
When you hug a friend, that is a prayer.
When you cook something to nourish family and friends, that's a prayer.
When we send off our near and dear ones and say " Drive safely",that's a prayer.
When you are helping someone in need and giving your time and energy, you are praying.
When you forgive someone, that is prayer.
Prayer is a vibration, feeling, a thought.
Prayer is the voice of love, friendship, genuine relationships.
Prayer is an expression of your silent being Keep praying always.
With thanks to "The Minds Journal".

I got a new stick deodorant today. The instructions said: "Remove cap and push up bottom."
I can barely walk, but whenever I fart the room smells lovely.

www.rbcwealthmanagement.com/ca/en/news-events/events/robb-nash-project-looks-to-create-super-shows-to-reach-struggling-youth/detail/ Last week, Robb Nash , was in Dauphin Manitoba, singing and speaking to young people from some schools in this area. He asked a random young person from the audience to come help him sing on stage, and was moved to sign his guitar and give it to her afterwards. Robb was suicidal, after bad accident , and speaks nationwide to young people about tough subjects, and has helped many with his message. Tatoos of the names of many people on his arms , who did not suicide because of his message. Maybe someone on here , needs a motivational speaker for their connections with young people. Alvin Robb tracked down the USA semi truck driver, years later, that his car had hit head on , and asked him if he remembered the accident . The truck driver responded, I can NEVER forget that horrible accident and live with that terrible memory always. " I am so sorry about your friend". No, Robb, said, I am that "friend" and I lived and am alive ....................................... www.washingtonpost.com/news/inspired-life/wp/2016/06/28/kids-hand-him-their-suicide-notes-now-this-musician-has-120-of-their-names-tattooed-on-his-arm/?utm_term=.a5b95259683f

He will have to live with that for the rest of his life. I don't know if I could. So glad to hear that someone who understands suicidal thoughts is willing to speak on a very tough subject with young people. Our teen years are prone to passionate emotions. Something like a break up with a boy or girl friend can make a teen suicidal. It needs to be talked about though I think. One thing I've learned with age is that, yes, it truly hurts when it happens and it does feel like our world is ending. But I also know that you do get through it and life does get better again. Also, looking back sometimes we can even be grateful we didn't stay with our first 'love'.

Be the person who breaks the cycle If you were judged, choose understanding. If you’re rejected, choose acceptance. If you’re shamed, choose compassion. Be the person you needed when you were hurting, not the person who hurt you. Vow to be better than what broke you to heal instead of becoming bitter so you can act from your heart, not your pain. by Lori Deschene

Before being Christians or Jews or Muslims, before being Americans or Russians or Africans, before being priests, rabbis or imams, before having visible or invisible disabilities, we are all human beings with hearts capable of loving." #JeanVanier Jean Vanier , 90 , died today , a champion for people with disabilities making a big positive impact on many many people . Wrote a number of books and founding “L’Arche “ community . Alvin “Growth will come as we come closer to people who are different from us and as we learn to welcome and listen even to those who trigger off our pain.” www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-larche-founder-jean-vanier-established-the-unique-value-of-an/Mr. Vanier’s talent for staying calm while taking risks eventually resulted in the global miracle L’Arche is today – 152 communities of the intellectually disabled (from India and France to Kenya and Canada), as well as an even larger chain of Faith and Light support communities in 83 countries, all serving some 5,000 disabled core members. He wrote 30 books, won countless honours (a perennial nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize, he was named a Companion of the Order of Canada and awarded France’s Legion of Honour, and the Templeton Prize, among many others) and was a friend and inspiration to thousands of parents, colleagues and L’Arche residents all over the world.

Poster found in a Church in France... (translated): "When you enter this church it may be possible that you hear "the call of God". However, it is unlikely that He will call you on your mobile. Thank you for turning off your phones. If you want to talk to God, enter, choose a quiet place and talk to Him. If you want to see Him, send Him a text while driving."
