A subscriber sent the following to an email group and I thought it would be appropriate to pass on to all of you! This was written by an 83-year-old woman to her friend. Dear Bertha, I'm reading more and dusting less. I'm sitting in the yard and admiring the view without fussing about the weeds in the garden. I'm spending more time with my family and friends and less time working. Whenever possible, life should be a pattern of experiences to savor, not to endure. I'm trying to recognize these moments now and cherish them. I'm not "saving" anything; we use our good china and crystal for every special event such as losing a pound, getting the sink unstopped, or the first Amaryllis blossom. I wear my good blazer to the market. My theory is if I look prosperous, I can shell out $28.49 for one small bag of groceries. I'm not saving my good perfume for special parties, but wearing it for clerks in the hardware store and tellers at the bank. "Someday" and "one of these days" are losing their grip on my vocabulary. If it's worth seeing or hearing or doing, I want to see and hear and do it now I'm not sure what others would've done had they known they wouldn't be here for the tomorrow that we all take for granted. I think they would have called family members and a few close friends. They might have called a few former friends to apologize and mend fences for past squabbles. I like to think they would have gone out for a Chinese dinner or for whatever their favorite food was. I'm guessing; I'll never know. It's those little things left undone that would make me angry if I knew my hours were limited. Angry because I hadn't written certain letters that I intended to write one of these days. Angry and sorry that I didn't tell my husband and parents often enough how much I truly love them. I'm trying very hard not to put off, hold back, or save anything that would add laughter and luster to our lives. And every morning when I open my eyes, tell myself that it is special. Every day, every minute, every breath truly is a gift!.

Terri, I recently dicovered your site and downloaded a PLR product. Frankly, my expectations were quite low thinking that $1 wouldn't buy much ("you get what you pay for"). But I was pleasantly surprised. I've checked a few of the many articles in the download and they seem quite respectable, longer than I expected (app. 1500 words), and as advertised, there were 50. * Steve ========================================== Freebies & Biz Helpers ========================================== Free networking forum for all those who work at home. http://www.mywahbusiness.com/community/index.php ****** Find free content or submit your articles http://www.homebusinessresourcedirectory.com/contentarticles.html ****** Free Download: Kiwi Markup Kiwi is yet another text to HTML processor which was designed for writing small and medium tech documents and notes.
