Steve Jobs R.I.P. It makes you think??

Hello everyone,it was sad yesterday to hear of the death on Steve Jobs the ex CEO of Apple,he has changed the way we live and communicate,he has left us amazing technology.He has been compared to Henry Ford and Thomson Edison he was an amazing man.I love this quote from Steve.
"Your time is limited,so dont waste it living someone else's life"





It also makes you think of your own mortality I think,he was 2 years younger then me,and it proves it does not matter how famous you are or how rich,when its your time to go that's it.
On the brighter side of life,its another beautiful day here today,I love spring all the new growth on the trees etc.I will leave you with a funny joke have a great day out there and be kind to each other.......Tony


A young man was walking through a supermarket to pick up a few things when he noticed an old lady following him around. Thinking nothing of it, he ignored her and continued on. Finally he went to the checkout line, but she got in front of him. "Pardon me," she said, "I'm sorry if my staring at you has made you feel uncomfortable. It's just that you look just like my son, who just died recently." "I'm very sorry," replied the young man, "is there anything I can do for you?" "Yes," she said, "As I'm leaving, can you say 'Good bye, Mother'? It would make me feel so much better." "Sure," answered the young man. 

As the old woman was leaving, he called out, "Goodbye, Mother!" As he stepped up to the checkout counter, he saw that his total was $127.50. "How can that be?" He asked, "I only purchased a few things!" "Your mother said that you would pay for her," said the clerk.

Its good to ponder on things sometime

Hey everyone,I hope you are all good and your weekend has gone well.We had beautiful weather this last week,but the weekend has brought rain,but spring is here at last.I saw this quote today and liked it,I hope you do.
QUOTE: Success, Emerson 
"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success." 

I have told you before how much I love reading The Secret by Rhonda Byrne,I liked the part when she said dont focus on what you dont want to happen,if you do that it will happen,start to imagine what it would be like to have the things you want.It took me a while to go from negative thoughts to positive ones.I will give you an example.I got an unexpected check from England 6 weeks ago,its takes that long for the funds to be cleared in my account,it was $300.The day it cleared in my bank,I needed $280 to fix some things on my car.It was like it was meant to be.I was not unhappy with the garage bill,because One problem was the brakes and the other I needed a new Tyre,both a big safety issue.I could not have paid it without that money.I was very grateful to pay for the repairs.They keep me and my boys safe in the car.
