And remember: "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, What a Ride!"

Their burdens may be heavy and they not strong;
And your own sky will lighten,
If other skies you brighten
By just being happy
with a heart full of song."
