Tipsy Tuesday
It’s a sure thing that you’ll not finish if you don’t start.
An ancient proverb says, “The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” You have probably known people nearing the end of their life’s journey who looked back and said, “If only I had done things differently. . . . If only I had taken advantage of that opportunity when it came along.” Unfulfilled lives are filled with “if only’s”. They are the refrain of the timid souls whose lives were finished before they ever really got started. Life is filled with many opportunities -- for great successes and spectacular failures. It is up to you to seize the initiative, to take advantage of the opportunities that come your way. You are condemned to a life of mediocrity -- unless you get into action. Don’t delay; do it today!

Funny Friday
Comments made in the year 1955!
I'll tell you one thing, if things
keep going the way they are,
it's going to be impossible to
buy a week's groceries for $10.00.
Have you seen the new cars
coming out next year? It won't
be long before $1,000.00 will
only buy a used one.
If cigarettes keep going up in
price, I'm going to quit; 20 cents
a pack is ridiculous.
Did you hear the post office is
thinking about charging 7 cents
just to mail a letter.
If they raise the minimum wage
to $1.00, nobody will be able to
hire outside help at the store.
When I first started driving, who
would have thought gas would
someday cost 25 cents a gallon.
Guess we'd be better off leaving
the car in the garage.
I'm afraid to send my kids to the
movies any more. Ever since they
let Clark Gable get by with saying
DAMN in GONE WITH THE WIND,
it seems every new movie has
either HELL or DAMN in it.
I read the other day where some
scientist thinks it's possible to put
a man on the moon by the end of
the century. They even have some
fellows they call astronauts
preparing for it down in Texas .
Did you see where some baseball
player just signed a contract for
$50,000 a year just to play ball?
It wouldn't surprise me if someday
they'll be making more than the
President.
I never thought I'd see the day
all our kitchen appliances would
be electric. They're even making
electric typewriters now.
It's too bad things are so tough
nowadays. I see where a few
married women are having to
work to make ends meet.
It won't be long before young
couples are going to have to hire
someone to watch their kids so
they can both work.
I'm afraid the Volkswagen car
is going to open the door to a
whole lot of foreign business.
Thank goodness I won't live to
see the day when the Government
takes half our income in taxes. I
sometimes wonder if we are
electing the best people to
government.
The fast food restaurant is
convenient for a quick meal,
but I seriously doubt they
will ever catch on.
There is no sense going on short
trips anymore for a weekend. It
costs nearly $2.00 a night to stay
in a hotel.
No one can afford to be sick
anymore. At $15.00 a day in
the hospital, it's too rich for
my blood.
If they think I?ll pay 30 cents
for a haircut, forget it.
I was born in the fifties, this really makes you realize how fast things change. I smile at what my Grandchildren will be laughing about in 50 more years.
Happy 1955 Trails,
Danna

Happy Birthday America
If you are an American citizen, don’t let anyone tell you that you are downtrodden.
"We still live in the greatest country in the world. The United States is the great experiment in positive thinking; our entire system of government is based upon faith in the inherent goodness of the individual. It was a revolutionary idea more than 200 years ago when the Declaration of Independence was first signed. Borrowing from the greatest thinkers in history, our founding fathers established a form of government of the people that is today the model most imitated around the world. Economic and political conditions ebb and flow, but as long as we have a democratic society that celebrates the individual, we can achieve anything in life we desire. All you require to be successful in the United States is the desire to achieve success and the determination to stick with it until you reach your goals."
This 4th of July Napoleon Hills words ring load and clear. What a wonderful country, full of opportunity to live the life we imagine.
Happy Independent Trails,
Danna
