Random thoughts this Sunday morning and Aloha from Hawaii
People in the future will look back upon today as the good old days.
The trouble with our times is that the future is not what it once was.
The future is purchased by the present.

Words of Wisdom #14
Two differing thoughts from two very different people struck me today.
Consult not your fears, but your hopes and dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but in your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you have tried and failed in, but what is still possible for you to do.
Pope John XXIII
I am still determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation I may be; for I have learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends on our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances.
Martha Washington
I believe that your attitude not your aptitude will determine your altitude in life. Attitude and discipline can overcome most everything.

A Shout Out to Angelina Jolie
This woman has made a statement for all human kind.
My wife and daughter have both been stricken and overcome this dreadful disease. My daughter asked her medical doctor to perform preventative surgery twice. On the cancer threat and the BRCA1 gene she inherited from my wife and her family the doctor played GOD and denied her. It was less than four years later that she found her cancer and had the surgeries and the chemotherapy. The chemotherapy at the least could have been avoided and the trauma and fear inflicted on her young children could have been avoided.
The medical and insurance communities need to grow up and not be smug about their role in the lives of their patients
Thank you Angelina.

Thought of The Day #16
In one of the Friday Filosophy quotes today there is Benjamin Disraeli suggesting that to be successful we must be ready when it comes. I agree with that whole heartedly and would like to add a thought. I believe that each of us has at least three opportunities to succeed in our lives. The trick is not just being able to take advantage of them when they come – it is many times just a function that we don’t recognize them when they come.
