The Funky Way is about how we live our lives.

It is about style and grace. It is about mutual respect and love.

It is about the gift of giving.

It is about living the best life that you can without harming others or the world we live in.

It is about getting everything out of life. Turn off your television and start to live again.

Please...Do something new to day!! Go for a walk, join a sporting club, introduce yourself to someone new, paint a picture, write a poem, learn to play an instrument, go out dancing, do anything and live life...

Desiderata

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,

and remember what peace there may be in silence.



As far as possible, without surrender,

be on good terms with all persons.

Speak your truth quietly and clearly;

and listen to others,

even to the dull and the ignorant;

they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons;

they are vexatious to the spirit.



If you compare yourself with others,

you may become vain or bitter,

for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble;

it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.



Exercise caution in your business affairs,

for the world is full of trickery.

But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;

many persons strive for high ideals,

and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.

Neither be cynical about love,

for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,

it is as perennial as the grass.



Take kindly the counsel of the years,

gracefully surrendering the things of youth.

Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.

But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.

Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.



Beyond a wholesome discipline,

be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe

no less than the trees and the stars;

you have a right to be here.

And whether or not it is clear to you,

no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.



Therefore be at peace with God,

whatever you conceive Him to be.

And whatever your labours and aspirations,

in the noisy confusion of life,

keep peace in your soul.



With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,

it is still a beautiful world.

Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

Unexpected Turns

Danish Proverb

Life is not holding a good hand. Life is playing a poor hand well.

Success

We are prone to judge success by the index of our salaries
or the size of our automobile rather than by the quality
of our service and relationship to mankind.
- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Be Extraordinary

The goose that laid the golden egg was an extraordinary goose indeed, but just because you didn't lay the golden egg doesn't make you less extraordinary!!

-George Clinton
