Smile OT: Reminder to enjoy life!

Today was one of these perfect days... awesome weather, the greatest car of all, my favorite passenger (Clare), and the realization that most of us are living our dreams. So I took a pic that Clare shot today and added my favorite quote (from the movie "Tuck Everlasting"). Just a little friendly reminder to all of us how blessed we are and that we should not waste our opportunities. Have a great week, guys!

Rather close to Socrates I might add. I agree with your sentiments.

Wolfgang:

Das, was vorbestimmt ist, wird immer seinen Weg finden...

You are so correct, my friend. We are truly blessed. Now, let's make sure that we remember that every day, and give thanks. There are many people in this world who cannot even fathom what we have... we must be sure to appreciate what we've achieved every day.

Thanks, man. Awesome thought!

Well said Wolfie m'boy!
in fact today is sunny and warm and nice, and the girl I was going to go out with cancelled on me, so I'm going for a bike ride before all the trails are covered in snow!

I don't contribute to the 997 forum but this post made my day.

We work so hard to make a better life, and it is amazing how very easy it is not to enjoy the great life you have made.

Thanks for the post,
David
