TGIF

Friday, August 22, 2008

 What a way to end the week! It was Drew Wright Mania at the Peak-FM studios this morning on the Morning Flight. It was great to have Drew back with us again for the first time since Canadian Idol started. Has he matured or what? Drew Stock, the big free concert in downtown Collingwood Friday afternoon and evening I'm predicting will be huge. Judging by the phone calls I received this morning, there will be Drew Wright banners, posters and Canadian flags in abundance.My wife and I have our nice comfy lawn chairs ready to go. See you there!

 

I often receive some really neat emails which I would love to share with you. Check this one out!

Something to ponder

There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. She

hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for 
her. She told her boyfriend, 'If I could only see the world, I will 
marry you.'
 
One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages 
came off, she was able to see everything, including her boyfriend.
 
He asked her,'Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?' The 
girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. The sight of 
his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn't expected that. The thought 
of looking at them the rest of her life led her to refuse to marry 
him.
 
Her boyfriend left in tears and days later wrote a note to her 
saying: 'Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for before they were 
yours, they were mine.'
 
This is how the human brain often works when our status changes. 
Only a very few remember what life was like before, and who 
was always by their side in the most painful situations.
 
Life Is a Gift
 
Today before you say an unkind word - Think of someone who can't 
speak.
 
Before you complain about the taste of your food - Think of someone 
who has nothing to eat.
 
Before you complain about your husband or wife - Think of someone 
who's crying out to GOD for a companion.
 
Today before you complain about life - Think of someone who went 
too early to heaven.
 
Before whining about the distance you drive Think of someone who 
walks the same distance with their feet.
 
And when you are tired and complain about your job - Think of the 
unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your job.
 
And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down - Put a smile on 
your face and think: you're alive and still around.
 
Have a super weekend everyone!
