Monoku Quotes

Don't dwell on what could have been, better it is to dwell on what can be... * Never give up trying, or your life book will have pages of regret... * Use water sparingly because somewhere in the world, there is a drought... * Don't be disheartened if you lose the race, be happy for the winner... * Getting old brings aches and pains, but brings experience and wisdom too... * Good relationships need a firm foundation, plenty of love and trust... * Always help the unfortunate, one day you may be unfortunate... * You are responsible for your mind and body, take great care of both... * We should all treat our earth with respect, its the only home we've got... * When there are no words, offer a shoulder to cry on, it speaks volumes... * A gun full of bullets can't kill you, only a person can do that...

Thank you very much Delice, how often we fail to take the plunge and regret it afterwards, my daughter found a quote that said, feel the fear and do it anyway, You wont regret it. Tom

These are very wise sayings full of truth. I like the way you say it , bullets don't kill people do. I know the feeling some days. No it was not me in the horse photo, though I wish it was, beautiful horse. Take care and have a wonderful Sunday dear friend, Thanks for the kind visit.

wise lines indeed Tom, hope all is well with you and your family... our border opens tomorrow - no restrictions for those with 2 jabs - watch the mucky stuff hit the fan, we already have a case with someone testing negative day one then positive day 6 yet has been out in the community. hugs Jan xx

Thank you very much Jan, all good here and I hope you are to. Its not over by a long shot, government is caving in to open up shop and I think we'll pay the price for it, getting jabs doesn't stop you getting and spreading it just reduces the chance of ending up on a ventilator. Tom
