Disaster in Japan!

The people of Japan have been hit by both a earthquake and a tsunami! Now they are facing a possible nuclear meltdown! But the Japanese people still possess hope. A elderly man and woman (who lost their home, all their possessions, and some of their friends) expressed this hope in a news interview. They said "we are too old to rebuild, but the younger generation will build back even better than before." I believe this hope (to see the future as bright even when facing such a terrible disaster) is why mankind has survived on this earth for thousands of years!

My Dad's Birthday

Call the fire department!

My dad pass away several years ago. His was born on Friday March 13, 1921. He would say Friday 13 was his lucky day! He lived through the great depression and World War II. People of this generation were hard workers, honest, patriotic, and the creators of the modern world! Happy Birthday Dad!!

Earthquake

Reelfoot Lake at sunrise

I live in West Tennessee not far from Reelfoot lake created by the earthquakes of 1811 and 1812. Today (200 years later) you can still see the scars on the landscape. Nature and time have actually turned these scars into things of beauty! But the true scars of any earthquake can only be seen on the faces of the survivers. These scars will last a lifetime and will never turn into things of beauty. Let us remember the people of Japan and do whatever we can to help them!

golf joke

Bob and Bill (two old guys) are on the first tee. Bob says " now that I'm old I can't see where my ball goes." Bill says " Don't worry about that, I can still see perfect." They both tee off and drive down the fairway but can't find either ball. Bill, I thought you said you could see the ball? I can, said Bill, but I can't remember a dang thing!!
I am now sixty years old and I play golf, so I guess this is my future!

My favorite "wife" joke!

Bob, you may be in heaven sooner than you think!

Bill and Bob are talking about their wives. Bill says "I am a lucky man because my wife is a angel! Bob says "you are a lucky man because my wife is still living!!"

My Wife's favorite joke

Honey, the rest of the packages are in the car!!

People who say that money can't buy happiness are shopping in the wrong stores!

Money Can't Buy Happiness

Smile And The World Smiles With You

This is both true and false. Research shows that to be happy you must have enough money to buy food, clothes, and shelter. The hardships of not having these basic needs makes life very difficult! Under these conditions happiness is very hard to achieve. But ( and there is always a but) once you have enough money to buy these basic needs any additional money(no matter how much) will not create happiness!
I believe that happiness comes from within. You don't find happiness you create it! Yet, most people are searching for happiness from some outside source. Happiness found from outside sources are short lived and must be repeated over and over! This forms bad habits  that creates unhappiness.  If you want happiness look within!
