Cowboys Don’t Cry

Life is not like in the movies. Here in the real world things don’t happen that way. I’m afraid cowboys do cry and heroes do die.

Life is not easy; rougher for some than others; but sitting on your butt complaining about the unfairness of life is not going to improve your lot in the least.

Life offers plenty of opportunities. Be on your feet when they present themselves for by the time you have raised onto your feet the opportunity will be gone!

Make the best of your life as it is now. Enjoy what you can and accept that there are things that you will never be and things you will never have.

You were created with two ends. One to think with and one to sit on. Your success depends on which end you use most. It is like spinning a coin.

Heads you win and tails you lose.



Think about it. Today is the first day of the rest of your life.

Hi Cat,
So true.
Wishing you a wonderful day! teddybear
Hi Cat, I agree, you are the only one who can change things about your own life, moaning won't help. Get going, change something where your life isn't going well.

Sometimes life has a habit of kicking us over, but getting up and going on is the only choice we really have if we want to have some sort of success. wine
Hi who, if Cat needs a new shed/garage, he just needs to contact Z. laugh
Hi Wel,

I cannot overdo. I get a mug of doped Milo or hot chocolate when I get to active.
laugh
Who,

You are worse than the local press. I'm sure they will have a job for you at the Sunday newspaper. Backpage stuff seems to be your speciality.
A can of wine? I suppose you propose we drink it before you teach me!

Hi Bajanshay,

Thank you for droppimh in.

Hi Kn,

Yes, how hard we fall is not important. It is how quickly you can get up that matters.

Who is exaggerating. Driving is still very far off. I was just moving the car forward and backwards on the driveway, but my leg is still very weak and shaky. I did not give much attention to my leg so far; only my hand. A mistake. I did not realise that it was so weak.
wine hug
Cat, I think it's important to remember that it's not your leg that's weak just how much control you have over it at present, the friend I mentioned before had all the same problems but within a couple of months was back walking on the mountains as though nothing had happened thumbs up

Hi Cat, it does sound frustrating, hope you'll get back to your old form quick enough. bouquet

Hi Zman,

Yes, guess you're right, but it goes so slow. I wish I could telescope the next month into a week.

Hi Fot,

If you put it off for tomorrow you have one day less to do what you have to do.

Hi KN,

I wish I could have the patience with myself that I have with other people.

Hi June,

That recklessness will still go away. every year that you age will see you a little more subdued. Even if you don't notice it straight away.
wine hug
Sometimes we have to wait...
It should be a good start - as the first birthday.

let us say ... 9 months ... lol
But... I begin to consider today hmmm

Hi Cat,

I'm using the wrong end now.
I had to use the other end all day.
I'm tired.

Hi Fot,

Hi Nancy,

You're having me on. I was under the impression you just sit there all day looking pretty.

Hi Zman,

Do you know how upset I was when my school teacher made the statement that life was just a slow process of dieing.
beer cheershandshake
Cat, handshake How are you?... hope you change that coffee !!

Of course, today is another day of my life, but as my friend said "Things are never so bad they can't be made worse"

cheers
Hi Bog,

Yes, viewing it from the other side, that is also true.
cheers handshake
