CAN DO! WILL DO! MUST DO! THY ACTIONS ALONE DETERMINE THY WORTH! AND ... YOUR ACTIONS ARE BASED UPON YOUR ATTITUDE!

Temper Fugit © - Tom Hyland - 7/2/10 I Wanted to Write Something - Simple, yet Profound - Complex, yet Poignant - And Still, Somehow Be a Basic Truth ... Did I Succeed? Today’s Existence Was - Yesterday’s Future - And Still Is - Tomorrow’s Past! TODAY I Am Alive! What Can I Do? What Can I Achieve? What Can I Believe? Charles Dederich: “Today is the First Day of the Rest of your Life!” * YESTERDAY I Was Alive! What Did I Do? What Did I Achieve? What Did I Believe? The Beatles: “I Believe in Yesterday!” TOMORROW Shall I Be Alive? What Shall I Do? What Shall I Achieve? From ‘Annie’: “Tomorrow is Only a Day Away!” Today’s Existence = Yesterday’s Future = Tomorrow’s Past! Steve Miller’s “Fly Like An Eagle” Lyrics ... “Time Keeps On Slippin’ Slippin’ Slippin’ Into The Future...” * From Bartleby.com - Charles Dederich (1913–1997) QUOTATION: Today is the first day of the rest of your life.

He was the founder of Synanon, a self-help community for drug abusers and alcoholics, based in California. TEMPER FUGIT ... What Will YOU Do? Fly like an Eagle? Make Lemonade? OR - Cry in your Beer? In the Final Analysis, it is YOUR choice! © - TKH.

Wow. Tom this is easily the most original thing I have seen in a long time.

As long as we have choices we are hopeful. It is when our choices dwindle to nothing that we cease to hope or thrive. I'm thankful for all the choices I have and am hopeful that I will choose the right ones. Thanks Tom. Hugs, J'nia

It's always been our choice, no matter what others may say. And Happy First Day of The Rest of Our Lives.

Temper-fugit refers to Dick Cheney's firing that shotgun on a lawyers face? (LOL)

Today is the first day of your life. All the today's are yesterdays tomorrows. The whole point is in not wasting the time we are given to share and do good for others...

Wow, I knew Chuck personally and his daughter Jade, it was sad when he died. I think it was 1999. I wonder what he did with all the money and planes and horses and his mansion at the top of the hill in the middle ranch in Marshall, Ca. I am sure the member's got a refund, I never did get my $1,000.00 back, hmmm do I have an inheretance sitting some where. It was where Dillion Beach is, I reminice everytime I drive that road. My horses name was Browny
