Very well put Sweet Ro!

It was so wonderful to see you on Saturday! It's been WAY too long! Thank you for being there for me, it means more than I can possibly say! Sorry if I was a little out of sorts... you know why. [:/] You have a pure and gentle heart, believe in that and in yourself. All the negativity in the world only drains our souls - be bigger than it! I luv ya girl!

And you are a Rockstar baby.... :)

Everyone, you should have seen Rosa flying circles around the competition in the tunnel.... :) :D

Talk to ya soon!
(((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))

Ok, all this talk about life being a dance is reminding me of a song from one of my favorite movies:

Quote

I used to have a girlfriend
Known as Elsie,
With whom I shared
Four sordid rooms in Chelsea
She wasn't what you'd call
A blushing flower...
As a matter of fact
She rented by the hour.

The day she died the neighbors
Came to snicker:
"Well, that's what comes
From too much pills and liquor."
But when I saw her laid out like a Queen,
She was the happiest... corpse...
I'd ever seen.

I think of Elsie to this very day.
I remember how she'd turn to me and say:
"What good is sitting alone
In your room?
Come hear the music play.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
Come to the Cabaret.

I was down, but last night after not even flying much since May, I won first place in a tunnel competition within my division. I was shocked. It's nothing major, but it made me so happy in the midst of my sadness. Even if I hadn't won, just the happiness of being with friends made me see how beautiful life can be.



Damn, girl, nice job! Sorry I couldn't stick around to watch that! Bummed that we missed each other on Saturday - one of these days the world will be back to normal and California will be sunny and we'll get to meet.

In the meantime, nice post. I always look forward to reading yours.

Where are you? I was actually just going to call you!



Have you already waited the customary 2 days after your date? You don't wanna scare her off ya know.



We didn't actually get to have a date - I stood Rosa up ;). I'm back in sunny Seattle with a closed DZ. D'oh! The Vengeance folks and I decided to leave this morning since none of us had any more tunnel time scheduled and, well, it was pouring and stuff. We were all happy not to get home at midnight!

Three tunnel sessions with Lou this weekend, though, and I feel like I made a ton of improvement. Just can't wait to get up in the sky and try it all out. Forecast is looking promising... crossing my fingers!

I totally understand about leaving early. Also, three sessions with Lou? Oh my goodness, you are sooo going to be kicking ass all over the sky!

Bwahahaha...I was watching the tape of my Rookie comp on Sat, and I almost peed in my pants from laughing so hard. We all sucked. I just sucked less. :P Next season (whenever I go back), I'll try to go up one division. ;)

Hope you come back down this way, soon...B|

Of course, after I walked a mile in their shoes... I would have a new pair of shoes. Obviously, they couldn't catch me because they couldn't outrun me with no shoes.



Well that and you're already a mile away from them.
it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

LIFE is grand. I really want for nothing. Job, kids, I get to jump now and then and I seem to be have good relation with Mrs again. (really best now in 7 years) We don't expect too much from each other any more and are ok with that.
Life is Good.:) (I just needed to view it differently)

Anyone remember the movie
"The Life of Brian" (Monty Python) ?
Remember when they are hanging from the crosses singing : " Life's a bunch of shit.... Whistle a happy tune".... And their heads are going back n forth whistling away.
( Chris Farley Immitation) : That was awesome !
Remember that one time .....

Cheer up, Brian. You know what they say.
Some things in life are bad,
They can really make you mad.
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle,
Don't grumble, give a whistle!
And this'll help things turn out for the best...
And...

...always look on the bright side of life!
whistle

Always look on the bright side of life...
If life seems jolly rotten,
There's something you've forgotten!
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing,

When you're feeling in the dumps,
Don't be silly chumps,
Just purse your lips and whistle -- that's the thing!
And... always look on the bright side of life...

whistle
Come on!

Always look on the bright side of life...
whistle

For life is quite absurd,
And death's the final word.
You must always face the curtain with a bow!
Forget about your sin -- give the audience a grin,
Enjoy it -- it's the last chance anyhow!

So always look on the bright side of death!
Just before you draw your terminal breath.
Life's a piece of sh*t,
When you look at it.

Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true,
You'll see it's all a show,
Keep 'em laughing as you go.
Just remember that the last laugh is on you!

And always look on the bright side of life...
whistle
Always look on the bright side of life
whistle

Classic!:)

Life doesn't have to be a dramatic soap opera. It's a beautiful and difficult song and dance with the good and the bad and the everything in-between. It is never as perfect as you would like, but there are many opportunities for happiness.



As I started to get caught up in some friend drama when I returned home yesterday, I remembered this post. Thanks for the reminder that drama is often of our own creating. Stepping away as best I can without abandoning them...

HA!:D:D:D:DHA!
I use that all the time.... Also when minor crap happens I always say"if that's the worst that happens today...then I'm blessed":)
