For those who use the phrase..."the whole 9 yards". Do you know where it originated?...

The term "the whole 9 yards" came from WWIi fighter pilots n the Pacific.
When arming their airplanes on the ground, the .50 caliber machine gun ammo belts
measured exactly 27 feet, before being loaded into the fuselage.

If the pilots fired all their ammo at a target, it got "the whole 9 yards."

And, now you know! 😉

"A 'no' stated with the deepest conviction is better than a 'yes' said to please,

or, what is worse, to avoid trouble."

"Love is not love which alters when an alteration finds, nor bends with the remover to remove. Oh no, it is an ever fixed mark that looks on tempest and is never shaken."

Sonnet 116, William Shakespeare

Too many people mistake love as being frivolous and never lasting. I think the world needs a lesson in loyalty, devotion, and commitment.

My Mom told me this once when I was complaining:

"Sometimes you have to strap on an old tin beak and peck poop with the chickens."

It has served me very well.

You know you're on "the right track"...

when you become uninterested "in looking back"!

"One day you will ask me which is more important? My life or yours?
I will say mine and you will walk away not knowing that you are my life."

"Ever has it been that Love knows not it's own depth until the hour of separation."

“Your children are not your children.
They are sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you.
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the make upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness.
For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He also loves the bow that is stable.”

The nicest thing about the future...is that it always starts tomorrow.

Beautiful! Beautiful!
One of my favorite authors as a teen... his writing struck me so profoundly at that age :)

The impact is felt to this day :D
