Good morning/evening everyone!! Hope everyone has an awesome day today. Take the time to today to set the goal I set for myself everyday. To shake hands or meet one new person everyday. Someone you have never seen before, or may have passed a thousands times on the way to work. Stop and say hello and my name is. You never know what may happen. For that one person you pass everyday or that person you stopped to say hello to could be someone that could put you in a movie, invest in an idea you have, or just simply be another good friend that you can share a conversation with since you see each other every morning anyways. Every person you snub your nose to and walk by could be the person that could change your life forever. Share a smile and a quick hello. Cheers my friends!!! =0)
Make merry! Though the day be gray
Forget the clouds and let's be gay!
How short the days we linger here:
A birth, a breath, and then--the bier!
Make merry, you and I, for when
We part we may not meet again!
What tonic is there in a frown?
You may go up and I go down,
Or I go up and you--who knows
The way that either of us goes?
Make merry! Here's a laugh, for when
We part we may not meet again!
Make merry! What of frets and fears?
There is no happiness in tears.
You tremble at the cloud and lo!
'Tis gone--and so 'tis with our woe,
Full half of it but fancied ills.
Make merry! 'Tis the gloom that kills.
Make merry! There is sunshine yet,
The gloom that promised, let's forget,
The quip and jest are on the wing,
Why sorrow when we ought to sing?
Refill the cup of joy, for then
We part and may not meet again.
A smile, a jest, a joke--alas!
We come, we wonder, and we pass.
The shadow falls; so long we rest
In graves, where is no quip or jest.
Good day! Good cheer! Good-bye! For then
We part and may not meet again!
