Happy thought of the day
"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, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO, what a Ride!"
I appreciate these sentiments, and agree we should live life to the full.
Being a very serious and sensible medical practitioner, however, I must caution against overindulgence in said champagne (cigarettes/fatty food/narcotics/amphetamines/other drugs of choice), else one may find one does not so much skid into the grave as stumble, wheeze, limp, slip and fall heavily into the grave. (he he)
Thanks, Jellyhead. You will be happy to know that I gave up ciggies, most fatty foods (especially fast fatty foods), drugs (lost the illegal but kept the Rx's), and other deleterious substances a long time ago (what a boring life I lead). Please note that I did not say I gave up particular wines and strawberries, both considered fresh fruits that are found high up on the inverted food pyramid. I like skidding sideways as long as it's not on my face!
Neo, 30's a large number and cigarettes will kill ya.
Did you know that the very worst nags in the world are ex-smokers? Don't get me started.
Precious kittens, love your new outlook! Thanks for sharing and getting us all pumped up. I thought Jelly would be more fun, didn't you? just kidding! Gotta go sometime, might as well go with a smile on your face.
I used to be a "suit" during my working career and wrote a lot of policies and procedures. But now, the only thing I like to write are posts on my blog.

Kitty - Cute kitty photo.
I like the phrasing on that.
In my case it'll be a 30 pack.
Hey, a little off topic. I was forced to post photo's today of myself, if you're curious. (Long story)
Peace & Hugs,

the girls loved the kitties
WOW!!!
What a post. That was great and it just makes me want to go out and celebrate LIFE.
That must have been quite a ride you took today.
I love those cute kitties too.

As they say, life is short. You are a very wise kitty.
I've heard this before, but it always makes me smile.
And cool that you stopped smoking. If I knew this, I forgot. Now if my dad would just stop -- yeah, right. He of the smoking while attached to oxygen.
Amen friend......and are those your kitties or just a cute picture....
Kitty -Hey you only die once right? ;)
Peace & Hugs,
