RR, I LOVED that story about the turtle. Animals are fascinating. I've been watching the birds attack our new cat, Gracie. They know she is there, so they are letting her know it by divebombing her. Cats have a lot to teach us about living as well. They truly live for the moment. Henry's four years were far too short, but he got more enjoyment out of them than many people do in 80. Everything was a game or a challenge or something to be relished. He was like a four-legged Zen master. One of my employee's friends got hit by the proverbial bus recently. I mean, A BUS RAN HIM DOWN AND KILLED HIM. I don't know him. I hope he spent enough time living for the moment as Henry did and as Gracie appears to do. Me, I get caught up in the same crap that most people do sometimes, but being around animals has helped me to move from the type A personality toward the type B, because I hate the stress associated with type A. I'm here to have a good time and to make things better. I can define "things" anyway I feel like it -- myself, the environment, my relationships, my portfolio -- whatever. What difference is there between the turtle and those who climb Mount Everest? I suppose the shell is the biggest one. XI
