Thoughts on Marriage for our Anniversary.

MQTlogoa There is nothing better than “Quality Time” LOVE.

JOETODD The news interviewed an 80-year-old lady who had just gotten married for the 4th time.

e The interviewer asked her questions about her life, about what it felt like to be marrying again at 80, and then about her new husband's occupation.

c "He's a funeral director," she answered. He then asked her if she wouldn't mind telling him a little about her first three husbands and what they did for a living.

e She paused for a few moments, needing time to reflect on all those years. After a short time, a smile came to her face and she answered proudly, explaining that..

d  she'd first married a banker when she was in her early 20's,

b then a circus ringmaster when in her 40's,

a later on a preacher when in her 60's,

c and now in her 80's, a funeral director.

JOETODD The interviewer looked at her, quite astonished, and asked why she had married four men with such diverse careers.

e She smiled and explained, "I married one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready, and four to go."

f Now go out there and have a great day.. Today is 8/10/2014 and Linda and I are celebrating our 18th wedding anniversary..

JOELINDA1 Linda my wonderful wife and best friend & Joe Todd…. living one day at a time and enjoying one moment at a time with each other…. Love you Linda…..

Poor Man & His Wife

MQTlogoa MORAL: To love is nothing, to be loved is something...!!!

.....A very poor man lived with his wife.

image

One day, his wife, who had very long hair asked him to buy her a comb for her hair to grow well and to be well-groomed. combThe man felt very sorry and said no. He explained that he did not even have enough money to fix the strap of his watch he had just broken. watchbandShe did not insist on her request.

The man went to work and passed by a watch shop, sold his damaged watch at a low price and went to buy a comb for his wife.

He came home in the evening with the comb in his hand ready to give to his wife.

comb

He was surprised when he saw his wife with a very short hair cut.

She had sold her hair

white hair

and was holding a new watch band.

Tears flowed simultaneously from their eyes,

tears

not for the futility of their actions, but for the reciprocity of their love.

MORAL: To love is nothing, to be loved is something...!!!

OLDMAN  Hope you enjoyed the story, but there is More….. Take a real good look at the first picture..Did you notice::::

“The real beauty in this picture is the attention to detail that the artist, Octavio Ocampo took. Try this: squint your eyes a little and you’ll see that the man with the guitar fades away, and the old man staring into the old woman’s eyes really starts to pop out at you. Perhaps the scariest part of this illusion is that the younger woman has some really mean sideburns! Look out! Also, keep looking until you find: the young girl, the tequila bottle, and the giant vase! Quite a crazy optical illusion painting!” ( when I first saw the photo it was just of an old man and woman looking at each other.)

Memo to self:: Friday… played 18 holes golf at Westchester… did ok…

Ten Rules For Being Human

MQTlogoa A Quality Time Book Review.. If Life is a Game These are the Rules

lifegame

ten

rule1

“The challenge of Rule One is to make peace with your body, so
that it can effectively serve its purpose and share its valuable lessons
of acceptance, self-esteem, respect, and pleasure. Everyone must
learn these basic principles before he is able to journey successfully
through life.” If Life Is a Game, These Are the Rules

rule2

rule3

rule4

rule5

rule6

rule7

rule8

“Every person creates his or her own reality. Authorship of your life is one of your absolute rights; yet so often people deny that they
have the ability to script the life they desire. They often use the excuse that they cannot do what they want to do or get what they desire in life because they lack the resources to do it. They look past the fundamental truth that it is not our external resources that determine our success or failure, but rather our own belief in ourselves and our willingness to create a life according to our highest aspirations. You can either engage in the blame game, making frequent use of the statement, "I couldn't b e c a u s e . . . " or you can take control of your life and shape it as you would like.”

rule9

rule10

joetoddsays  An interesting book filled with insight and suggestions. “Life” is not necessarily a “walk in the park” and there is in my opinion no “magic button” to fix everything. I do feel there is a lesson behind everything that happens in our life as this book demonstrates so well…. Rating 8 out of 10…. I will now end the post with a Quality Time Photo taken at my favorite golf course.
