Life doesn't stink.
There are some rough moments, no doubt. But keep the overall picture in mind. The little details make up the big picture. So cherish the small joys just as much as the big hooplas.
Savor the sunshine and barefoot grass and smell the rain.
Even I don't wake up looking like Cindy Crawford.

Lyrics to love:
My eyes adored you
though I never laid a hand on you
my eyes adored you.........

| Joy - More Music |

Once upon a time, MaryJoy made me a CD of Kelly songs and Mary songs. This is the first song on that CD. It is so me. ;) Cringe.
"Accidently Kelly Street, where friends and strangers sometimes meet
Accidently Kelly Street, I never thought life could be so sweet" ~Frente
I guess it was a popular song in Australia in the 90s.
Once I am YouTubing, I can't stop. This one shows Kelly Street and omg, the rowhouses are exactly what I want to live in. This ten second video is hard to hear. The young lad is simply saying that they paint the houses different colors and then he blows kisses. MmMm wah! :)

July 12 was date of birth for Henry David Thoreau.
His famous line - "I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived."
I WISHED TO LIVE DELIBERATELY.

He said, "Thank you, I'll have chicken."

A blonde was weed-eating her yard and accidentally cut off the tail of her cat which was hiding in the grass. She rushed her cat, along with the tail, over to Wal-Mart!
Why WAL-MART??
HELLOOOOOOOOO!
WalMart is the largest re-tailer in the world.
