Usually I complain the ride is uphill both ways but today’s was not.
There were rolling hills, some quick flat roads & a few killer uphills –
near the end – which is probably the worst part.

There’s an old saying:
“If you want to know how to live your life,
think about what you’d like people to say about you after you die
and live backwards.”
Knowing how we want to be remembered
also allows us to make a strategic plan for our lives.
How much wiser would our choices be
if we had the wisdom and discipline to regularly ask ourselves
whether all the things we do and say
are taking us where we want to be at the end?
In a sense, we write our eulogies by the choices we make every day.

=================================================
99% of the people I have met in my life
have a negative attitude during difficult times.
I suspect it???s because their thoughts are
consumed with their problems
consumed with their problems
and they’re not consciously aware of their negative attitude.
The next time you find yourself
dealing with something challenging, be aware of your attitude.
Choose to remain positive.
You will stand out like a bright light in a dark room.
You Are In Control of Your Attitude.
Challenge yourself to do EVERYTHING you do
with a positive attitude.
Not only will this bring more joy and happiness into your life,
Not only will this bring more joy and happiness into your life,
but it will also build self-esteem and self-confidence.

 |
|
we had BRUNCH had a new place today
|
(new for US)-
Pistachio Grille in Maple Glen, PA –
about 15 minutes from Ivyland.

 |
|
GOOD cup of coffee – this ALWAYS is a good sign.
cool teaspoon too…..
|
 |
I got the special southwestern wrap –
it was VERY TASTY & will have 1/2 for breakfast tomorrow!
We liked Pistachio Grille & are looking forward to
trying it for dinner.

the nest box is across the street – about 100 feet from my house.
I got this shot with my super dupery new camera…

the camera is just awesome!!!!
|
 |

does anyone need furniture???
My friends sister is moving & bought a furnished
house so they need to get rid of all their stuff asap….
Let me know if you have interest…
I think they are giving away most stuff or
at least asking a really reasonable price

this is one of the items they are selling…. but like I
said – i think they are just trying to find a good home
for most things…. let me know…..
