Thank you for your good wishes Pixi - it's been a difficult time, but hopefully things will improve for the better - I shall find out in my follow up!

I love this thread Pixi - it made me search for one of my old Quotes books & I shall sit quietly reading through it again later.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safetly in a pretty and well-perserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming..."WOW! WHAT A RIDE!"

Robinia

lol Lonnie - my life's been like that sometimes.

Follow your dreams - well, except for the ones where you're naked on the bus.

"You wake up in a morning and lo! your purse is magically filled with 24 hours of the unmanufactured tissue of the universe of your life. It is yours........no one can take it from you. And no one receives either more or less than you receive. Talk about an ideal democracy. Genius is never rewarded by even an extra hour a day. We never shall have any more time. We have and we have always had all the time there is."

That is by Arnold Bennett and is in his essay "How to Live on 24 hours a Day". It is only about 70 pages in length but it is well worth reading.. You will begin to wonder what you do do with your 24 hours!
