Good advice

I received this email today from a friend of mine...

Keep this in mind through all trepidations, desperations, celebrations, exultations, and little old Scots ladies with cats.

"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, champagne in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

Evidently, she's seen me travel - I've got the skidding sideways, used up, worn out and screaming parts down. Now I just need some chocolate and champagne!
