I try not to load my LJ with such things, as they're generally just forwards which are immedicately deleted. BUT...a friend sent this to me today, and I thought it was marvelous:

TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED the 1930's 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's !!!


First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us.

They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes.

Then after that trauma, our baby cribs were covered with bright colored lead-based paints.

We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking.

As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags.

Riding in the back of a pick up on a warm day was always a special treat.

We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle.

We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this.

We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank soda pop with sugar in it, but we weren't overweight because WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!

"WORRYING does not empty TOMORROW of its TROUBLES,
it empties TODAY of its STRENGTH."

Oh yeah, when I have kids, we are so digging up worms and making mud-pies!~;) We are gonna get scraped knees, swallow flies while riding our bikes, cut off all barbie hair and make them into men (hmm...I wonder...nah, nevermind! LOL) Hell, I am a firm believer in helmets, but I once rode my brother's BMX straight into a brick wall and managed to survive. Yeah, my legs and back hurt for a good long while, but I survived, and learned not to sneak off with my brother's bike, especially when it HAS NO BRAKES! LOL

OK, enough of this madness...back to papers.

wait wait wait...*ahem!*

"To laugh is to risk appearing a fool. To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. To reach out for another is to risk involvement. To expose feelings is to risk rejection. To place your dreams before the crowd is to risk ridicule. To love is to risk not being loved in return. To go forward in the face of overwhelming odds is to risk failure. But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he cannot learn, feel, change, grow or love. Chained by his certitudes, he is a slave. He has forfeited his freedom. Only a person who takes risks is free." ~ Dr. Leo Buscaglia~
