I guess it's just meant to make you think about living every day to the fullest...don't put off doing stuff "tomorrow"...for we may never pass this way again....sure, no body wants to think about that, but it happens...it's kinda what I sum up as Never live your life as "Shoulda', Woulda', Coulda'"....

I should have done this but...

I woud have done this but...

I coud have done this but...

�Healing is what happens when we come to our edge, to the unexplored territory of mind and body, and take a single step beyond into the unknown, the space in which all growth occurs. Healing is discovery. It goes beyond life and death. Healing occurs not in the tiny thought of who we think we are and what we know, but in the vast indefinable spaciousness of being�of what we essentially are�not whom we imagined we shall become��

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.

--Mahatma Gandhi

We've all heard the "forgive and forget" way of living.

Consider this... forgiveness implies a judgment of wrong...

Let's skip the judgment step and go straight to the forgetting!

As a friend of mine used to say, "A hundred years from now, who'll know the difference!?!!"

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest
you let other people spend it for you.

--Carl Sandburg

Formerly, when religion was strong and science weak, men mistook magic for medicine; now, when science is strong and religion weak, men mistake medicine for magic.

Greetings from Utah! Great idea Armid! This Inspirational Thought is by Dr. Deepak Chopra: "Everyone has a purpose in life, a unique gift or special talent to give to others. And when we blend this unique gift or special talent with service to others, we experience the ecstasy and exultation of our own spirit, which is the ultimate goal of all goals."
Have another blessed day with Quantum-touch!

Ordinary people believe only in the possible. Extraordinary people visualize not what is possible or probable, but rather what is impossible. And by visualizing the impossible, they begin to see it as possible.

Greetings from Utah! Here is an Inspirational Thought from Dr. Leo F. Buscaglia: "Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around." Enjoy! Have another great day with the universal energy of Quantum-Touch!

Happy April Fools Day!

The History of April Fools Day

Unlike most of the other nonfoolish holidays, the history of April Fool's Day, sometimes called All Fool's Day, is not totally clear. There really wasn't a "first April Fool's Day" that can be pinpointed on the calendar. Some believe it sort of evolved simultaneously in several cultures at the same time, from celebrations involving the first day of spring.

The closest point in time that can be identified as the beginning of this tradition was in 1582, in France. Prior to that year, the new year was celebrated for eight days, beginning on March 25. The celebration culminated on April 1. With the reform of the calendar under Charles IX, the Gregorian Calendar was introduced, and New Year's Day was moved to January 1.

However, communications being what they were in the days when news traveled by foot, many people did not receive the news for several years. Others, the more obstinate crowd, refused to accept the new calendar and continued to celebrate the new year on April 1. These backward folk were labeled as "fools" by the general populace. They were subject to some ridicule, and were often sent on "fools errands" or were made the butt of other practical jokes.

This harassment evolved, over time, into a tradition of prank-playing on the first day of April. The tradition eventually spread to England and Scotland in the eighteenth century. It was later introduced to the American colonies of both the English and French. April Fool's Day thus developed into an international fun fest, so to speak, with different nationalities specializing in their own brand of humor at the expense of their friends and families.

In Scotland, for example, April Fool's Day is actually celebrated for two days. The second day is devoted to pranks involving the posterior region of the body. It is called Taily Day. The origin of the "kick me" sign can be traced to this observance.

Mexico's counterpart of April Fool's Day is actually observed on December 28. Originally, the day was a sad remembrance of the slaughter of the innocent children by King Herod. It eventually evolved into a lighter commemoration involving pranks and trickery.

Pranks performed on April Fool's Day range from the simple, (such as saying, "Your shoe's untied!), to the elaborate. Setting a roommate's alarm clock back an hour is a common gag. Whatever the prank, the trickster usually ends it by yelling to his victim, "April Fool!"

Practical jokes are a common practice on April Fool's Day. Sometimes, elaborate practical jokes are played on friends or relatives that last the entire day. The news media even gets involved. For instance, a British short film once shown on April Fool's Day was a fairly detailed documentary about "spaghetti farmers" and how they harvest their crop from the spaghetti trees.

April Fool's Day is a "for-fun-only" observance. Nobody is expected to buy gifts or to take their "significant other" out to eat in a fancy restaurant. Nobody gets off work or school. It's simply a fun little holiday, but a holiday on which one must remain forever vigilant, for he may be the next April Fool!

Greetings from Utah! David O. Mckay has stated: "Meditation is the language of the soul." And in I Kings 19:11-12 and also in Psalms 46:10 we learn that God reveals His will through a "still small voice" to mankind. Have another blessed day with meditation and Quantum-Touch!
