Truth or False

[Wayne Goodwin]

A biker was riding along a California beach when suddenly the sky clouded above his head and, in a booming voice, the Lord said, "Because you have TRIED to be faithful to me in all ways, I will grant you one wish." The biker pulled over and said, "Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can ride over anytime I want."

The Lord said, "Your request is materialistic. Think of the enormous challenges for that kind of undertaking. The supports required to reach the bottom of the Pacific! The concrete and steel it would take! It will nearly exhaust several natural resources. I can do it, but it is hard for Me to justify your desire for worldly things. Take a little more time and think of something that could possibly help mankind."

The biker thought about it for a long time Finally he said, "Lord, I wish that I and all men could understand our wives. I want to know how she feels inside, what she's thinking when she gives me the silent treatment, why she cries, what she means when she says nothing's wrong, and how I can make a woman truly happy."

The Lord replied, "You want two lanes or four on that bridge?."

I've been on top and at the bottom so many times.....I have learned I can live quite well with almost nothing at all.  All I need at this point in my life is my dog....music.....books......and a friend to do things with.  If that friend happens to be male....so be it.  But I'm down-sizing big time, and I am learning to do with a lot less than I thought I needed.  Funny how all those things lose their meaning as  you mature.  "Stuff" becomes "junk" .....and all that counts is my relationships. My wealth will be measured by how many people love me.....and right now......I'm pretty darned rich!

I think you are very right . I am tossing more stuff now as my birthday is coming up to 63 in June . Just don't need it in my way anymore . Every thing i own is in my Living room . Bed computer . Got rid of my Sofa end tables . No one comes to visit anymore except my cousin . I'm living a make do life . As for people that love me they sure have a funny way of showing it . Happy for you being pretty darn rich in friends ...
