Around the corner I have a friend
In this great city that has no end,
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,
And before I know it, a year is gone
And I never see my old friends face
For life is a swift and terrible race,
He knows I like him just as well,
As in the days when I rang his bell.
And he rang mine but we were younger then.
And now we are busy, tired men.
Tired of playing a foolish game
Tired of trying to make a name
Tomorrow I say! ‘I will call on Jim
Just to show that I’m thinking of him.’
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
And distance between us grows and grows
Around the corner, yet miles away,
Here’s a telegram sir,’ ‘Jim died today..’
And that’s what we get and deserve in the end
Around the corner, a vanished friend.
Remember to always say what you mean.
If you love someone, tell them.
Because when you decide that it is the right time it might be too late.
Seize the day. Never have regrets.
And most importantly, stay close to your friends and family, for they have
helped make you the person that you are today. You

Thank You…
I wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone who reads my blog and my twitter posts, and who likes and comments on them. I just now noticed that most of the comments (on both sites) have gone to spam and I’m sorry I didn’t notice them sooner.
I’m not a computer wiz and time is a big issue, however, you are all in my heart. I don’t want to be just another blog with quotes, although they are wonderful, but instead try to post ideas and thoughts beyond just quotes. I sincerely hope that through my posts and my book that the world is a more positive place one person at a time. If you like what I do please share my sites…
PS. I love animals and use them frequently in my posts pictures. I hope you love them as well

Life is Like a Camera
You Have to Hold Out for Something Beautiful
Native American Prayer
I give you this one thought to keep
I am with you still – I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow
I am sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain
When you awake in the morning’s hush
I am the swift, uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight
I am the soft stars that shine at night
Do not think of me as gone
I am with you still in each new dawn
The Great Boatlift of 9/11 (A must watch video)
“I have one theory in life. I never want to say the word I should have. If I do it and I fail, I tried. If I do it and I succeed, better for me. I tell my children the same thing. Never go through life saying you should have. If you want to do something you do it”
“I believe that everybody has a little hero in them. You gotta look in and it is there…it will come out”
Circumstances
Today is the Beginning
I’ve learned that
No matter what has happened or hasn’t happened to you in your life
No matter how heartbreaking
No matter what you lost
No matter who deceived you
No matter what dreams were broken
No matter the what wrong decisions you made, what opportunities you passed up, what regrets you may have
No matter how devastating the circumstances
No matter how long you have suffered
No matter how old you are
Today is the beginning
Today is the day to finally change it all
Life has only one direction
Who you are is worth it all
So what are you going to do with today?
“What has been in your life up till now has nothing to do with what still can be”
