    "You never know when someone
    May catch a dream from you.
    You never know when a little word
    Or something you may do
    May open up the windows
    Of a mind that seeks the light...
    The way you live may not matter at all,
    But you never know, it might."

    “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, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming ‘WOO HOO! What a ride!’” ~Unknown
