"The Positive Side of Life"
Living on Earth is expensive, but it does include a free trip around
the sun every year.
How long a minute is depends on what side of the bathroom door
you're on.
Birthdays are good for you; the more you have, the longer you live.
Happiness comes through doors you didn't even know you left open.
Ever notice that the people who are late are often much jollier
than the people who have to wait for them?
Most of us go to our grave with our music still inside of us.
If Walmart is lowering prices every day, how come nothing is free
yet?
You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the
world to one person.
Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.
Don't cry because it's over; smile because it happened.
We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty,
some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors
... but they all exist very nicely in the same box.
A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.
Do you realize the only time in our lives when we like to get
old is when we're kids?
If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited about aging
that you think in fractions.
"How old are you?"
I'm four and a half!"
You're never thirty-six and a half.
You're four and a half, going on five!
That's the key.
You get into your teens, now they can't hold you back.
You jump to the next number, or even a few ahead.
"How old are you?"
"I'm gonna be 16!"
You could be 13, but hey, you are going to be 16.
And then the greatest day of your life...you become 21.
Even the words sound like a ceremony...
YOU BECOME 21! YESSSS!!!
But then you turn 30.
Oooohh, what happened there?
Makes you sound like bad milk.
He TURNED, we had to throw him out.
There's no fun now, you're just a sour-dumpling.
What's wrong?
What's changed?
You BECOME 21, you TURN 30...
then you're PUSHING 40.
Whoa!
Put on the brakes, It's all slipping away!!!
Before you know it, you REACH 50...and your dreams are gone.
But wait, You MAKE IT to 60 You didn't think you would!
So you: BECOME 21 TURN 30 PUSH 40 REACH 50 and MAKE IT to 60.
You've built up so much speed that you...HIT 70!
After that it's a day-by-day thing; You HIT Wednesday!
You get into your 80s and every day is a complete cycle:
You HIT lunch You TURN 4:30 You REACH bedtime.
My grandmother won't even buy green bananas!
It's an investment, you know, and maybe a bad one!!
And it doesn't end there...
Into the 90s, you start going backwards:
"I was JUST 92."
Then a strange thing happens.
If you make it over 100, you become a little kid again.
"I'm 100 and a half!"
May you all make it (healthily) to 100... and a half!

CROSSING THE RIVER
One day three men were hiking and unexpectedly came upon a raging
river.
They needed to get to the other side, but had no idea how to do
so.
The first man prayed, Saying, " Please God, give me the strength
to cross the river." POOF ! God gave him big arms and strong
legs, and he was able to swim across the river in about two hours,
after almost drowning.
Seeing this, the second man prayed, saying, " Please God,
give me the strength and the tools to cross the river." POOF
! God gave him a rowboat and he was able to cross the river in about
an hour, after almost capsizing.
The third man had seen how this worked for the others, so he also
prayed, " Please God, give me the strength and the tools, and
the intelligence to cross the river. And POOF ! God turned him into
a woman. She looked at the map, hiked upstream a couple of hundred
yards, then walked across the bridge.
