A few good quotes for a good Friday... (taken from KJ's comment)... I like the way this man Lou Holtz thinks:
-A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.
-If you're bored with life - you don't get up every morning with a burning desire to do things - you don't have enough goals.
-It's not the load that breaks you down, it's the way you carry it.
-No one has ever drowned in sweat.
-The man who complains about the way the ball bounces is likely the one who dropped it.
From a favorite movie of mine, "You either get busy living, or get busy dying".
What are some of your favorite quotes..?? Happy Weekend Bloggers!

and... My "older"younger brother turned 23 yesterday. If you'll allow his older sister to brag on him for a moment.. he's really the coolest kid I know. He has the fun spontaneous heart of a 16 year old, and the maturity level of a 35 year old. His goals have been set since young high-school, and seeing him thrive at Mizzou and now med school, still managing to have a blast in the process.. Well, he's my go-to-guy and I love 'em lots... HAPPY BIRTHDAY AD!!
