My Philosophy

In life, here’s my philosophy: To be the best that you can be Just find something you like to do And see if it works out for you. You also need at least one friend Or kin on whom you can depend To lift your spirits or rejoice, Who’s happy just to hear your voice. The rest is icing on the cake, For all the choices that you make Revolve around what’s waiting there For you to tackle and to share.

Sounds like a winning perspective there, ilene. Thinking about things, I second your philosophy, as I feel the same way about having a needed skill that you like to do, and one really great friend. ~ We are #1!d

Ilene, I'v never been one for having a bunch of friends, I have a couple that I truly cherish - that is all I need and my close family. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Most people are limited by the borders of their own mind so it does take a real friend (or lover) to stretch those horizons! Well said, Ilene! Aloha! Rico

I am excited! My friend is introducing me to her friend on Thursday. "You also need at least one friend" This line reminded me of that!
