You're so right Libby, events like this make the fragile nature of our existence abundantly clear. It is indeed a bittersweet reality we all live in. Thank you for the reminder to look at the bigger picture and cherish our loved ones and the time we have with them. My thoughts are with you, with wishes of continued strength and courage. --Steve

OT Thanks for the messages. Thanks to all who sent me PM messages about my friend's son. He unfortunately died several days after his accident, and his funeral was on Monday. At the service his brother read the following quote, which in his opinion reflected his older brother's attitude. ATTITUDE by Charles Swindoll "The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on my life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company ... a church ... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past ... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the string we have, and that is our attitude ... I am convinced that life is ten percent what happens to me and ninety percent how I react to it. And so it is with you ... we are in charge of our attitudes." I love that quote...very true IMO! Thanks again for all of the messages from "the Island" posters... they were greatly appreciated.
