The Dash
I understand there is a long standing poem about "The Dash" , I have heard it and read it on occassion. However, I prefer not to extol overly on other people's writing, rather I would prefer to use it as a compass point. The Dash tells of a story of a person attending a funeral and hearing an eulogy. That story was told at the funeral I attended today.It gives you much to think about, that dash. The dash is the line on someone's gravestone. Between their date of birth and their date of death, there is a 'dash'. They say that it's the dash that tells the most about the person, because that is their story. What you achieve in that dash is what really matters in life.
I believe it to be true. Life is too short to hold onto a grievance, to not live , to not celebrate. So when you are given a chance to experience something, say yes. Believe in yourself and believe that anything is possible and your 'dash' will be a full one with no regrets.

Did you get right with the quoting. I tried it. It is easy, but difficult do demonstrate here as it converts your example into a quote!

However, I have replaced the 4 square brackets for round brackets. You must change it back to square brackets again and it will work.
When you do that this will be the result:
Whatever you type here will be quoted.
So there you are, but it would be nice if this could happen automaticly as in the forums!
I believe in be yourself, despite surrounding pressures. You have expressed it very well.
Good picture
I like it.
The bothersome thing with that quote thing is that on the forum boards, it is done for you with a button, here ...they have not done so
"Grace" was once an asset and now it's a rarity,
HAAA! Good blog. The "Dash" meaning the story of your life. I like little things like that. It gives a meaning that is truly important. The "dash"! I will remember that!!

It really does make you wonder if when the time comes whether each of us will be ready to say that we were happy with our innings.
NICE BLOG TOO
I have no idea about Cuddling. Does he sing?
