It forces your soul to move forward. Memories are lovely bits of life that you can treasure in repose, but why give up the perfectly good chance to survive, adapt to life, and to once in a while be so strong as to make life adapt to you? Beautiful thought, kat...something to plan and dream about. |

If a man can become internationally famous for not saying anything, why can't politicians take a leaf out of his book? LTS |

At the end of the movie, he even walked on water. Inspiring thought Kat. With that in mind, it is also important to focus on being in the moment, releasing the past and allow the future to unfold.

You don't need approval from your peers to build a habitable treehouse. No peers, just studs :>) You go for it. I want a video. |

31 Jan 00 - 11:28 AM (#171033) Subject: RE: Thought for the day - January 30, 2000 From: catspaw49 The problem here with Neil is that h did order some great studs from the forests of British Columbia and had them shipped by Canadian Pacific Rail. Sadly they had to make a stop halfway across Alberta because one of the loggers had fallen asleep accidentally on one of the loaded flatcars. They stopped to let the lumberjack off and now all the wood is ruined. Spaw |

Spaw obviously had a hand in this. No pun intended. |
