All About 60 (in 55 words)

Image Source:  Herkie
There are 60 months in 5 years.
There are 60 inches in 5 feet.
There are 60 minutes in an hour.
There are 60 seconds in a minute.
60 years - known as the diamond wedding anniversary.
A mile is 5,280 feet and is divisible by 60.
60 years is also known as three score.
Zero to 60 is an automotive standard of performance.
Gone in 60 seconds.

Peter Peter pumpkin eater
Had a wife who was a cheater
He caught her in a big fat lie
And baked her in a pumpkin pie

Quote of the Week

Visualize this thing you want. See it, feel it, believe in it. Make your mental blueprint and begin. 
- Robert Collier


You may tell yourself, "I can't do that".  You see many times we are our own biggest road block. What if no one likes my work?  Does it matter?  Who are you really trying to please? Answer these questions and then do what makes you happy!

The Wedding Planner Blues

Image Source:  pinkangelbabe
First Chelsea changes her theme to chocolate – chocolate cake, chocolate martinis, and even coordinating dark and milk chocolate outfits. Then JoAnn moves her ceremony from inside to outside…in November. Now what was she thinking? Finally, Melanie’s maid of honor just broke up with the best man. I bet you can see where that is heading.

I Am Free

 
Clinging to the leaf
I left only a shell of
My previous life
