Who's Pamela?

What is life?
Life is a gift, accept it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is a mystery, unfold it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a struggle, face it.
Life is beauty, praise it.
Life is a puzzle, solve it.
Life is opportunity, take it.
Life is sorrowful, experience it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a goal, achieve it.
Life is a mission, fulfill it...
One of my goals has been to attempt to fulfill the above each and every day, I will paste them on my screen-saver, desktop and other places to remind each day. Perhaps it will make me a better person; perhaps, just as important, these may inspire, uplift, or get someone through a daily or life long struggle.

Guess what?

One thing I have learned since I began posting to my blog is: "there must be lots of lonely people out there". Why, just yesterday, I received an email for one such lonely person. Her name was Pamela and she said she saw my "postings" on-line and was so impressed she felt inspired to want to begin a correspondence; she actually said she wanted us to "get to know one another better". Now that's really special! Here's someone that I hardly even know - haven't even met- who just wants a little friendship! I told my wife about Pamela and she said she received a similar request. Now how did she get both our names. Pamela really must just be searching for a few good friends! If you get a similar letter from Pamela, drop her a note - tell her Bob & Sherry sent you.

Taxes

This morning as I turned on the TV set on my way to make coffee, a national ( CNN:HLN Channel) news segment had apparently earlier asked its viewers to write in and tell them who "they would raise taxes on if they had the ability to do so". I'm paraphrasing now but here is how it was played out: One person wrote in and said, "raise taxes on the big oil companies but do it APPROPRIATELY". This individual's email actually had the word APPROPRIATELY spelled in capital letters. The second individual wrote in and said, "raise taxes on the junk food companies because they make food taste good which forces us to eat it and yet it is bad for us".  (They will one day raise prices on Junk Food, mark my words!) Honest, i'm not making this up!!!!! As to the first writer, i'm ASSUMING (I capitalized this word to make a point too) they think raising taxes APPROPRIATELY would not effect the average consumer - ergo, their use of the CAPS! In o...

The Lawyer Vs the Entrepreneur

I have been mulling this thought over for some time now and feel it needs to be put to pen. Ever wonder how many of our elected officials in Washington were real entrepreneurs before seeking your vote? I wasn't really sure, but I had my own opinion! Well, most are lawyers. To be an entrepreneur or to want to become one takes a drive that not all individuals have. Long tedious hours, broke one moment rich the next - then broke perhaps again - then having to make the payroll, paying bills, wondering if you're going to make it, re-wondering, thinking rethinking, etc. Hard life! Entrepreneurs are almost like the everyday married couple I guess; long hours, being broke one moment a little money the the next - then broke perhaps again, paying bills. Takes a rare breed to be successful at being married and/or an entrepreneur. The exhilaration of success is ONE driver that surely inspires and keeps a person going in business. Bottom line is that it takes a deep abiding drive, i...
