Life is easier to take than you think;
all that is necessary
is to accept the impossible,
do without the indispensable,
and bear the intolerable.

Problems
No one can solve problems for someone
whose problem is that
they don’t want their problems solved.

From the Editor's Computer
Sometimes in life, you find a special friend;
Someone who changes your life
just by being part of it.
Someone who makes you laugh
until you can't stop;
Someone who makes you believe
that there really is good in the world.
Someone who convinces you that
there really is an unlocked door
just waiting for you to open it.
This is Forever Friendship.
-author unknown
We all need friends in this life. People who will know how we think and can give us another perspective on whatever is happening around us, who stand by us no matter what we’re going through, and who help us put the stress in our lives in its proper place.
However, it is also important that we each be that type of friend to others. Friendship is a two-way street. To have a friend, you have to be a friend.
To my friends who have a special place in my heart and life...thank you for your friendship.

Peace
To feel happy, relaxed
and at peace with the world,
you must be able to sit back
and let life take its natural course.
Learn to go with the flow more.
Let things happen
instead of always trying
to make things happen.

Ease
If you can handle three elements,
handle only two.
If you can handle ten,
then handle only five.
In that way
the ones you do handle,
you handle with more ease,
more mastery,
and you create a feeling of strength
in reserve.

Zen
Zen is sweeping the floors
when you sweep the floors,
eating when you eat,
and sleeping when you sleep.

Summer…camping trips and RV adventures...visits with family and friends...day trips to museums, zoos, and more.
Summer means a lot of time spent driving on the highways and byways. It also is a time when many people seem to have a heavy foot as they eagerly travel to their destination.
Various companies have calculated the savings accrued by speeding. Unfortunately they are in miles so I had to do some converting. For a 30 mile (48.3 km) trip, if you drive 70 mph (112.7 km/h) it will take you 25 minutes, 43 seconds. Traveling at 60 mph (96.6 km/h) will take you 30 minutes. If you travel my speed - just a bit faster than 55 mph (at 90 km/h) then the trip takes approximately 32 minutes. (http://fetinsurance.com/speed.htm)
So a heavy foot doesn’t really save you lots of time or get you to your destination any faster. If anything, it really slows you down as you end up sitting at the tracks waiting for a train to pass for about 7 minutes longer than I do! :-)
Enjoy your summer and stay safe!
