Y'all are in the woods!!! This looks like my stomping ground...and the last picture...CRAZY!!
 

To a beautiful person whose talents are boundless~Jonathan you never cease to amaze me!
P.S. love the last picture! :o)
 

Well, let no one say you don't do an honest day's work! It does not appear to be very glamorous, but making something that lasts should make you proud, I hope. Mom must be very proud of your multiple capabilities. (Not to mention your sense of humor.)
 

A dirty, muddy, hot guy in the woods!! My dreams have come true. :-)
 

"Life was a funny thing that happened to me on the way to the grave." - Quentin Crisp

We want to burn brightly in the wind, before it blows us out. We want to embrace life and thank it for the opportunity to love, work, and play. Everyone dies, but not everyone lives.

Life isn't about chasing the future; it's about experiencing the present. It's about relishing this moment. Life is the present. That's why we call it a gift.

It is not death that we need to fear, but an inadequate life. Why? Because life is not lost when we die. It is lost while we live. In is lost in opportunities that we allow to slip through our fingers. In each moment of inaction, we die bit by bit. When we waste time, we kill it. When we kill time, we murder life.

The time to start living is now. But the choice is ours. Either we let our lives slip away by not doing what we want to, or we get up and join the parade. Yes, life is brief, but you still have 100% of the rest of your life left. We didn't choose where and when we would be born, nor can we choose where, when, and how we will die. But we can choose whether we live or exist. And if we choose to live, we can decide how we wish to live.

Life expresses itself in action. It is not, "I think and therefore I am," but "I act and therefore I live." This assumes our actions are done with awareness. Once we accept that life is not a dress rehearsal - we have only one shot at it - we will be more inclined to act.

We have to be willing to accept what life gives us. But we don't have to take it and leave it; we can take it and change it. Isn't that why we're here? To make the world a better place? As Mark Twain said, "Let us so live that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry." Let's not take life for granted, but appreciate each moment. After all, it doesn't matter how much we have; it only matters how much we appreciate what we have. Also, appreciate others. For when we appreciate their great deeds, we magically share in their goodness.

(The world is yours, Brah... Skull f*ck it!

Trite though it may seem, it's really rewarding to make or do something tangible that you can look at, touch, etc. and say... "I did that!"
