...besides "playing" at dom..really isn't THAT much fun.

I end up just laughing.

not the same as real deal.

Indeed! Not quite the same, is it?

I've spent most of this thread laughing my ass off, as opposed to what else might happen to it.

27 four leaf clovers, so far this year. Found 33 last year, 29 the year before. I can't walk across a three foot patch of grass without finding one. It's gods way of taunting me.

Found..........these words in a recent mail.....

.....and in my current reflective mood they seemed quite appropriate.

Thought I'd share.

Sappy maybe, but worth thinking about.

When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.

Don't go for looks; they can deceive.
Don't go for wealth; even that fades away.
Go for someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.
Find the one that makes your heart smile.

Dream what you want to dream;
go where you want to go;
be what you want to be,
because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human and enough hope to make you happy.

The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; you can't go forward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so at the end, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.

Tell the people who mean something to you;
to those who have touched your life in one way or another;
to those who make you smile when you really need it;
to those who make you see the brighter side of things when you are really down;
to those whose friendship you appreciate;
to those who are so meaningful in your life.

Don't count the years-count the memories...........

Adieu

Wonderful, Mat, thank you.

I'm going to bed with an even more happy heart now, and I didn't think that was possible!
