Joy, a critical part of Health, Wealth and Happiness

In The Bucket List the new movie starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman, they present an interesting situation.  No, I won’t give away the movie.

The question is, “Have you found joy in your life?”

Though not real specific, it made me ponder….I know I have and I can tell you a whole bunch of situations.  Perhaps most of us can.  My goal is to do what I love and love what I do, and as a network marketer  working from home, I know I am well on my way to acheiving that. 

So, your’e asking “Is that it?”  the shortest blog known to Rick?

Nope, the second question.  It’s always the second question that gets you.  “Has your life brought joy to others?”

Now, that’s the hard one, and it was not easy to answer in the flick.

So as we go about our days, we have a real question to ponder.  Or, perhaps one to add to the other ponderable situations.

By the way, see the movie.

Undefeated Hawaii Warriors, Pt 3, the Aftermath

Yes, I saw it, I watched the whole game.  It was brutal.  They were out gunned from the start.  Georgia was bigger, better, faster, the plan was better.  Mark Richt was smug as he stood there, knowing that he was earning the respect that the Bulldogs had lost somewhere along the way.

I think they poured a little too much sugar on the Wariors, and perhaps could have gotten by with one less touchdown, but that’s the way it goes. 

A couple of bright spots were revealed: Tyler looked pretty good after the Dogs had for the most part, been called off.  The Seniors could walk off with their heads up high after a tough effort, and a marvelous 12 and 0 run.

Colt, though was shown on the sidelines crying as he had suffered a concussion-again.  It seemed as if his whole career was crumbling before him.  But not really.  He will get to play on Sundays, somewhere.

I really don’t have too much else to say.

Kudos to Georgia, you have earned what will be a lofty end-of-year ranking.  You are great arguments for a playoff.

June Jones does not get to ride off on a white horse victorious, and move on as the unblemished hero.  He still has at least one offer to coach the SMU Ponies in the Dallas Metro area.  I suspect he will have to turn down a salary 2 1/2 times what he makes here, and spectacular facilities.  He’s competing with Mike Martz and a couple of others.

I say, don’t go, bro.  You will miss the beauty that is Manoa the moment you walk off the plane.  The wonderful fans, the adullation, everybody knowing who you are, the joy of really finishing a job that you started.  You’ve done some fantastic things in the communmity.  You’re half way there, and I would bet that sticking it out would net you over a hundred victories after three more years.

That would really look good, the people would accept your leaving a bit more.  I expect even the improvements to bring the football facilities into the modern age would be completed.

But how do you turn down that cash?
