Our journeys differ; our shared goal is to move ahead: Meet @walkinggirl Nov 9 7:26pm | By Teresa, Volunteer Mentor (@hopeful33250)Comment receiving replies
@walkinggirl
I admire your energy and attitude. Bottle those two things and you can make a fortune though I suspect making a fortune is not high on your list.
Your glass half full/half empty comment reminds me of a time in an Amsterdam bar with a friend wherein we riffed for a long time on different perspectives on the glass and water. We came up with an "ist" list.
The Capitalist: We need to monetize the water and the glass
The Communist: Glass and water belong to state (spoken in a deep Slavic accent)
The Socialist: Water for everyone
The Misogynist: I hate the girly water
The Buddhist: Maybe the water is and maybe it isn't.
The Technologist: Actually, it is not glass but a high-density polymer
The Environmentalist: The water is probably polluted
The Hedonist: The water kind of turns me on.
The Activist: No more water! No more water!
The apologist: I am so sorry about the glass and the water.
And so on.
Grand plans for a poster which could have made us a fortune never came to pass. I guess that making a fortune was not high on our list either.
Best always,
s!

@scottij We know that making a fortune does not bring happiness. Having enough to pay the bills, provide food, clothing and shelter for our families including quality MEDICAL CARE, giving to charity and having some leftover for extras is enough. Unfortunately ... I can go further but will not.
