What is one of the few inherently monogamous mammals?
Oddly enough, it is the wolf.

Wolves mate for life and remain faithful to their life mate.

A wolf is often what a man is called who chases after women but
the name is a total misnomer. It is the wolf that is faithful.

Often we get things totally backwards.

A father and son went fishing one day. After a couple hours in

the boat, the boy suddenly became curious about the world

around him.

He asked his father, “How does this boat float?”

The father thought for a moment, then replied,

“Don’t rightly know, son.”

The boy returned to his contemplation, then turned back to his

father, “How do fish breathe underwater?”

Once again, the father replied, “Don’t rightly know, son.”

A little later, the boy asked his father, “Why is the sky blue?”

Again, the father replied, “Don’t rightly know, son.”

Worried he was going to annoy his father, he says,

“Dad, do you mind me asking you all of these questions?”

“Of course not, son. If you don’t ask questions, you’ll never

learn anything.

What if it’s not greener on the other side?

Maybe past the fence it’s still the same ride.

What if the ultimate joy always exists in the now?

Maybe every moment should take it’s own bow.

What if the apex of happiness was always just here?

Maybe we don’t have to guide, we don’t have to steer.

What if that’s why children always laugh so?

Maybe they’re able to just let go.

What if they know happiness is not a thing to be achieved?

Maybe they can feel that being open to it, is all that we need.

What if we’ve become so “wise” we’ve forgotten that realization?

Maybe once in a while we should give our brains a vacation.

What if happiness is more about our hearts and our souls?

Maybe we can be happy with the now and still have goals.

What if the grass isn’t greener, what would you do?

Maybe it’s time to let happiness be the thing that fills you.

Sometimes you must keep going.

Life punches you in the stomach.

It knocks your breath out and leaves you bowed and gasping.

You lose a job. . . you must keep going.

You find out you have a serious illness. . .you must keep going.

You have a headache. . . you must keep going.

Sometimes the things in life are not serious but they affect you

nevertheless. . . you must keep going.

You have a big argument with your spouse.

Neither of you feels like talking and maybe not even looking at

each other. . . you must keep going.

Your son rebels and you have a blowout with him. . .

you must keep going.

The bills seem to never end and the money seems to never start.

You must keep going.

There are times that make us just want to curl up, stick our

heads in a hole, and make the world go away.

We can’t, because we must keep going.

Life is full of those circumstances.

Many of you when you woke up this morning, for a variety of

reasons, didn’t feel like getting out of bed, but you had to.

You must keep going.

In times like those, and we all have them,

remember the blessing.

The blessing is not in that we must keep going.

There was a married couple who were in a terrible accident. The

woman’s face was burned severely. The doctor told the husband

they couldn’t graft any skin from her body because she was so

skinny. The husband then donated some of his skin…however,

the only place suitable to the doctor was from his buttocks.

The husband requested that no one be told of this because it

was, after all, a very delicate matter!

After the surgery was completed, everyone was astounded at the

woman’s new beauty. She looked more beautiful than she ever did

before! All her friends and relatives just ranted and raved at

her youthful beauty!

She was alone with her husband one day and she wanted to thank

him for what he did. She said, “Dear, I just want to thank you

for everything you did for me! There is no way I could ever

repay you!”
