"Life is a gift, don't waste it."



2. “It could be better, but it is good enough.”

3. “Do you see difficulty behind every opportunity, or opportunity behind every difficulty?”

4. “Curiosity is life.”

5. “Nature gave us one tongue and two ears so we could hear twice as much as we speak.”

Fortune cookies fortunes from last year’s Christmas dinner, yes 12.25.14, way back then.

I had thought now that many have made their New Year’s resolution or already quit them these might be enlightening for all our futures way of thinking, but I could be wrong I have been wrong before… nothing new there, hmm?

Any-who, the first I chose for my tonight’s title I thought was amazingly familiar; could I have been of Asian decent in my previous life or lives, or could it be that we have all been quoting that little ditty for too many years to remember the exact date we found that it was, in our minds that it was soooo profound, yet simple? HA!

Way to live your life, don’t waste it, what a concept, oops my inner George Carlin has kicked in again, please forgive.

The second one in the listing of five in total; yes we did have a mini banquet for two with that order thus the five, but it lasted for days and days…I do believe that here is where one might discuss if being too greedy and wanting too much is real happiness or is enough just right, huh? In our cases we have found our enough, but when it breaks we must repair it, so in reality enough is never ever really enough, is it, hmm?

Moving on…

The third fortune, another good one, the power of positive thinking, whoa, every one from Dale Carnegie to Oprah Winfrey and everyone before and after them including ELLEN have had that way of thinking in their programs of subliminal teachings or outright blatant commentary, nothing wrong with that; I’m just saying, heard and understood ages ago.

The next to last, number four is how I try to live my life with wide open eyes and the desire to learn daily…but saying that it is life is way over the top, a bit in my opinion and we all know what that’s worth, nada, bupkis zilch zero in the BIGGER PICTURE OF THINGS, absolutely true!

Last but not least that ending one, number five, now by all rights it is very logical in how it is said, but it does not take into consideration the human nature of people and how so many of my kind, i.e. talkers, have been told they were able to teach a class or speak publicly or be in management and train people etc. etc. or teach your own children everything where they all listen to you, and you do have much to say, and so no, not in me to stop too many years of being inundated with being told to take charge and so I have and it has mostly been a good thing, although I have learned like most of us that when we are truly interested in what someone has to say we do finally shut our singular oral cavity and  do listen intensely especially if  the person or persons expressing themselves while evoking the use of your name! HA!

That last paragraph is typical of how I actually do speak, in run on sentences, oh well… but it is refreshing to know that most write how they converse in the real world…very true; another advantage/disadvantage that I have found.

On that note of expressing my opinionated opinions once again, allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask all of you to kindly count all your blessings and share all your overages with you know who and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!

PS Our hearts go out to the Parisian people with their loss of so many by the hand of evil, horrifically again. Will it ever end…?!
