...But what if it's got a hole in it? ;¬)

Actually that is a great quote. I read somewhere that reading an inspirational quote a day is like taking a daily vitamin pill.

It sets patterns of thinking I guess, the same as if you're always told your useless - eventually you will become useless (or at least appear to be so)... ;)

Although I did think - what if you can't swim .... ;)

Well you could hitch a lift on the back of a dolphin...back into the realms of fantasy :¬)

Actually a couple of years ago, (before I reached my present heights of enlightenment;¬)), I was at the end of my creative tether. So I went down to the beach to remonstrate with God, or Neptune or whoever was willing to listen. I had been going down to that beach regularly for four years to more or less the same spot opposite the lighthouse. This time for some reason I decided to go to the other end of the bay. I was looking out to sea asking for some kind of a sign and almost instantaneously a dolphin popped out of the water right in front of me...a coincidence?...probably...but maybe not ;¬)


...Suffering from insomnia...you know where to come! ;¬o

Reading that dolphin bit just gave me goosebumps, I'd say not coincidence ...;)
