Happy Birrrrthday to Youuuu,
Happy Birrrrthday to Youuuu,
Happy Birrrrthday Dear Robert,
Happy Birrrrthday to Youuuu!

A few years back, not so long ago, heaven and earth erupted into a major celebration with the news of your impending adventure into this very time and space. You see, someone like Robert Short doesn't come along all that often. In fact, there's never been a single one like you, nor is there ever ANY possibility that another will come again. You're an Angel among us. Someone, whose eyes see what no others will EVER see, whose ears hear what no others will EVER hear, and whose perspective and feelings will NEVER, ever be duplicated. Without YOU, the Universe, and ALL THAT IS, would be sadly less than it is.

Quite simply:

You're the kind of person, Robert,
Who's hard to forget,
A one-in-a-million
To the people you've met.
Your friends are as varied
As the places you go,
And they all want to tell you
In case you don't know:
That you make a big difference
In the lives that you touch,
By taking so little
And giving so much!

Robert, you are so AWESOME! For your birthday, friends and angels from every corner of the Universe, including buddies you didn't know you had, will be with you to wish you the HAPPIEST of days and an exciting new year in time and space. You won't be alone!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Robert!

What To Do When Trying Harder Isn't Enough by C.S. Hughes

A fly is buzzing around in my home, franticly looking for an escape. He can see the outside world through the window and smashes his whole body into the glass trying to make his get away. It didn't work, so he tries again, and again, and again. I tire of watching him, and walk away. Hours later I return, and there he is, still bashing his head against the window. How futile, I think to myself. And I leave him.

The next day I pass by the window again. The buzzing has stopped.

Who is smarter?

"Humans think they are smarter than dolphins because we build cars and buildings and start wars etc., and all that dolphins do is swim in the water, eat fish and play around. Dolphins believe that they are smarter for exactly the same reasons."


Douglas Adams
1952-2001, Writer and Dramatist

Persist through adversity and disappointment

"The courage to persist in the face of adversity and disappointment is the one quality that, more than anything, will guarantee your success. Your greatest personal asset can be your willingness to persevere longer than anyone else. In fact, your persistence is a true measure of your belief in yourself and your ability to succeed."

Are you motivated today?

"Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it."
