Reading this post brought to mind the quote " Never explain yourself - your friends don't need it and those who dislike you won't believe it"

As it turns out, someone else was also thinking about that topic today in the link below - I found it an interesting read.....

Russell Bishop: Why You Should Never Defend, Explain Or Justify

Also, please indulge me if I revisit a post by 'old coach' about the glass 1/2 full or empty: The fact that I am here in this place at this time in my life already has the glass 1/2 full. Add to that being healthy enough to enjoy most of the activities that I'm interested in, and I'm at 75%. And topping all that off with having the resources to support a comfortable life style and I'm at 99% almost every day. The other 1% has a way of repeating itself but almost always resolving itself over time - and that includes everything I've read so far about what's wrong with living here. I thank myself first for all of this being true but know that many people have helped me get here and that many more will be needed to keep it all going. My current favorie saying is one I modified from the Dos Equis ads that close with "Stay thirsty my friends" Mine is 'Stay grateful my friends" Make this another great day!
