Attaboy to Cruise Industry... Priceless!

Thanks again to the nice considerate people everywhere...

Never got to shake the hand again who did this for us...

We were leaning on the rail watching the pilot boat...come up next to the cruise ship. The harbor pilot has finished his task... guiding us out of Fort-de-France harbor, Martinique...wow what an awesome time... the island of flowers....

Anyway he steps from the ship down onto pilot boat ...and then comes back up with couple of bags, mail I figure, hands them to cruise personnel, then casts off...

Think I'll shoot a little more video of leaving the island... Where's camcorder?... not in my cabin...!? Bingo..! Bet those bags were mine... Left them on back seat of cab... Fumbling for $$ to pay cabbie... Jump out, board the ship... Cabbie found the camcorder... returned to dock, ship had left... So he took them to pilotboat station... and the rest is history...

Returning $800 camcorder and a $10 souvenir ballcap...The cabbie had to make a choice... I'm grateful to him...

I'm very happy and have a great feeling about honesty and integrity of that man and the industry...

They want us to have a happy experience, so we'll come again...

"DO NOT LET OTHER PEOPLE ....

".....DECIDE WHAT YOU ARE TO BE.... BE WHAT YOU FEEL THAT YOU WANT TO BE.
Do not be misled by a false notion of obligation or duty. You can owe no possible obligation or duty to others that should prevent you from making the most of yourself. Be true to yourself, and you cannot then be false to any man. When you have fully decided what thing you want to be, form the highest conception of that thing that you are capable of imagining, and make that conception a thought-form. Hold that thought-form as a fact, as the real truth about yourself, and believe in it."

by Wallace Wattles 1860-1911... from "Science of Being Great" ***

"All Serious-ness Aside..."

by Dave Barry (recently posted - myspace.com)

"16 Things it took me over 50 yrs to learn"

1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.
2. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved and never will achieve its full potential, that word would be "meetings."
3. There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
4. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.
5. You should not confuse your career with your life.
6. Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.
7. Never lick a steak knife.
8. The most destructive force in the universe is gossip.
9. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.
10. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.
11. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age eleven.
12. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers.
13. A person who is nice to you but rude to a waiter is not a nice person . (This is very important. Pay attention. It never fails.)
14. Your friends love you anyway.
15. Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic.
16. Men are like fine wine. They start out as grapes, and it's up to women to stomp the crap out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.

That's just luck...

"I came to understand that success and prosperity had almost nothing to do with opportunities, chance, luck—or even training, education, or skill. It had everything to do with consciousness, beliefs, and even subconscious programming that you aren’t aware of. ".... RandyGage

Be aware that your thoughts/thinking... good or bad, positive or negative, are all about programming your future results for more of the same... Match it with actions... What you see, is what u thought, is what you got....

Want more good luck? Think about it.

"Relationships" - Transforming...

"You can completely transform any relationship,no matter what it's like right now. Every single relationship you have is a reflection of how you feel inside about you. You are a magnet attracting to you all things, via the signal you are emitting through your thoughts and feelings. Every relationship you have and every interaction with every person, is a reflection of your own thoughts and feelings in that very moment.
To transform every single relationship you have in your life:
Fall in love with YOU!(you must love yourself deeply).
Make lists of hundreds and hundreds of wonderful things about you. Keep adding to it every day.
Know that you are perfect.(do not think any negative thoughts about you).
Know that you are worthy and deserving of anything and everything you could possibly want in your life.
Focus on the wonderful things in every person. Look for only those things.
Do not blame or criticize anybody, ever.
Set an intention that you are going to see the best in everything and everyone.
Make your happiness the number one thing in your life.(Happiness is an inside job.)
Free yourself of the responsibility of trying to make other people happy(respect and love them enough to allow them to take care of their own happiness).
Get your attention off those things in others that don't make you feel good.
Appreciate and love yourself in every moment you can.
Do not expect others to behave in a way you want, so you will be happy. Release yourself forevermore and know that you alone control your happiness and it is a choice, no matter what anyone else is doing.
Love and respect yourself completely.
Know that you are PERFECT right now."

"A great attitude does much more than turn on the lights in our worlds; it seems to magically connect us to all sorts of serendipitous opportunities that were somehow absent before we changed."
