STRIKE UP THE...

Ah, we come to the last in my wonderful devotions to the subject of striking. Yep, it really is nice to have spent time devoted to seeing the times a strike makes a difference in life.

Then we come to the moment of truth. When we learn our lessons and are ready to celebrate. Yeah, we can really find that such a great thing to cherish.

A celebration is always fun. Providing you have a real reason to celebrate. Some do, some don't.

And when we find the time we can find a way to make it always fun. That is the important part.

Sometimes we do have to keep focused though. It can be tough otherwise. Now my focus is on having a good time.

I think that really matters. I mean you can have all the gold in the world, but no one to share it with, then you will be miserable.

But if you spend it all your gold trying to make friends, they you end up broke and all the other guys will be off celebrating the next dude who has the bags of money. Yep, that can happen. And it does.

So you need a balance of some kind. A time when you have to be able to sit and evaluate how you have wealth and still be happy.

I know that old saying about all the money in the world does buy happiness. I figure it was probably said by a guy with no money.

Because the guy with money is probably off at some party. And that will always be a good thing for that guy.

Oh if he is smart he's invited a few friends. Dangled enough money out there to keep them interested.

But not enough to make them greedy or expect more than a few tips. Making them rich is not the solution.

It will never be. A real less than blessed option. For myself, I am mainly interested in having a good time.

And if I can get somebody else to pay for it. All the better. Never complain about free. It is such a blessing at times.

Providing you can lie well enough to get the free.
