Again hello to all, I am busy trying to get my page and the church page
updated and on line.  I will write more and send Carl some of the old
pictures of Weatherford, soon Carl, soon, and I live in Saltillo, MS.
It is so named, as is the Saltillo, TN by soldiers that came back from
the Mexican War, who having fought in a battle at Saltillo, Mexico,
thought it was a beautiful spot and to remember comrades that had died
there.  At least that is the story recorded in Saltillo, MS history.

 HAPPINESS IS A JOURNEY

 We convince ourselves that life will be better when
 we are married,
 have a baby,
 then another.
 Then we are frustrated that the kids
 aren't old enough and we will be more content when they are.
 After that we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with.
 We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage.

 We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when
 our spouse gets his or her act together,
 when we get a nicer car,
 are able to go on a nice vacation,
 when we retire.

 The truth is that there is no better time than now to be happy. If
 not now, when?

 Your life will always be filled with challenges.
 Admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway. Treasure
 every moment you have. Treasure it more because you shared it with
 someone special, special enough to spend your time. . . and remember
 that time waits for no one.

 So stop waiting until you finish school,
 until you go back to school,
 until you lose ten pounds,
 until you have kids, until
 your kids leave your house,
 until you start work, until you retire,
 until you get married,
 until you get divorced,
 until Friday night,
 until Sunday morning,
 until you get a new car or home,
 until your new car or home is paid off,
 until you are off welfare,
 until the first or fifteenth,
 until you have had a drink,
 until you have sobered up,
 to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy.

 Happiness is a journey, not a destination.

 Work like you don't need money, love like you have never been hurt,
 and dance like no one is watching!
