Ah Techriders....what a grand time we've had...
me, the new kid on the block abut a year ago...We've laughed, cried, laughed again,
learned so many things, not only about stocks (thanks for the coattail pulls, everyone!!)
and the wiley ways of the market, but learned about ourselves. We've been to places
we didn't know were there..we've made new friends from all over the world.
Just some random thoughts as we leave, at least for now, this Techride club
house....Who knows, maybe it's time for a NEW CENTURY CLUBHOUSE....
So
thanks BLUE, Joan, and everyone for such a great time... Some things came to me
while I was thinking this morning....and I'd like to share...
First, I don't "do" Good Byes" either (people who know me know that is something
I've said for a long time) but rather ...."I'll see you later.... ", and we will, I know.
First thing....from when we were kids...
Make New Friends
But Keep the Old
One is Silver
One is Gold
Second...have no idea of why this came to my head today....Haven't heard it for many
years, but hearing Frankie Lain sing it was a joy many years ago....Listen....

And Last.....as a genealogist by hobby...this is something a friend sent years ago, and it
is so true.... The VERY BEST To YOU ALL!!!

THE DASH
I read of a man who stood to speak
at the funeral of a friend.
He referred to the dates on her tombstone
From the beginning... to the end.
He noted that first came her date of birth
And spoke the following date with tears,
But he said what mattered most of all
Was the dash between those years. (1900-1970)
For that dash represents all the time
That she spent alive on earth...
And only those who loved her
Know what that little line is worth.
For it matters not, how much we own;
The cars...the house... the cash,
What matters is how we live and love
And how we spend our dash.
So think about this long and hard...
Are there things you'd like to change?
For you never know how much time is left,
That can still be rearranged.
If we could just slow down enough
To consider what's true and real,
And always try to understand
The way other people feel.
And be less quick to anger,
And show our appreciation more
And love the people in our lives
Like we've never loved before
If we treat each other with respect.
And more often wear a smile...
Remembering that this special dash
Might only last a little while.
So, when your eulogy's being read
With you life's actions to rehash
Would you be proud of the things they say
About how you spent your dash?
