Tid-bits
Most ranches that raise donkeys have a theme to name their donkeys. At "Donkeys For Hire LLC" all the donkeys named at the ranch have an initial name that starts with an "M". Then they may have a nickname for short. For example Gilly's full name is McGillicutty and Stine's full name is Muldunstine.
What is "Bo's" full name?????

As they went along they passed some people who remarked it was a shame the old man was
walking and the boy was riding.
The man and boy thought maybe the critics were right, so they changed positions.
Later, they passed some people that remarked, "What a shame, he makes that little boy walk."
They then decided they both would walk! Soon they passed some more people who thought
they were stupid to walk when they had a decent donkey to ride. So, they both rode the
donkey.
Now they passed some people that shamed them by saying how awful to put such a load on a
poor donkey.
The boy and man said they were probably right, so they decide to carry the donkey. As they
crossed the bridge, they lost their grip on the animal and he fell into the river and drowned.
The moral of the story?
If you try to please everyone, you might as well...
Kiss your ass goodbye!
Have A Nice Day and Be Careful With Your Donkey
Life's Riches
One day a father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip
to the country with the firm purpose of showing his son how poor
people live. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm
of what would be considered a very poor family.
On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, "How
was the trip?
"It was great, Dad."
"Did you see how poor people live?" the father asked.
"Oh yeah," said the son.
"So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?" asked the father.
The son answered: "I saw that we have one dog and they had four.
We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they
have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden
and they have the stars at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard
and they have the whole horizon. We have a small piece of land to live
on and they have fields that go beyond our sight. We buy our food, but
they grow theirs. We have walls around our property to protect us, they
have friends to protect them."
The boy's father was speechless.
Then his son added, "Thanks, Dad, for showing me how poor we are."
Isn't perspective a wonderful thing? Makes you wonder what would happen
if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about
what we don't have.
Appreciate every single thing you have. Count your blessings. Thank God for
them.
