“Success to others may be apparent in what you DO; but significance, meaning and purpose lies, then reveals itself in what you ARE and BECOME down the ‘river of life’ – how and the spirit with which you face, then overcome the daily obstacles, the frequent trials and tribulations along the often rocky path-way of life’s magical and mysterious journey.Light your path brightly.”

Though my family and close friends say it would be far more entertaining with a video-camera* in the “real world”, rather than in cyberspace!)
* By the way, do they still make them in today’s ever-faster changing world..or is it all done with mobile phones?
(get with the times now,”luddite”* c – it should be a smart phone)

Hi
CAN’T KEEP UP…BUT THANKS FOR THE “THANX”
I’ve had many many hundreds of thousands (even “zillions”) of comments on my various other WordPress blogs at https://craigsblogs.wordpress.com/2011/09/09/craigs-list-of-blogs-updated-sept-2011/
in recent years …true!). A few of my blogs went “balistically viral” a few years back and I got swamped with comments on my various blogs… so had to close them all off.
Obsessive or WHAT! Am really pleased you are enjoying my writings, as the reason I write is to share.
Though I’m rather “driven”, I still get really, really fatigued (there’s a few books there). So sorry can’t reply individually to all you good people scattered around the planet. As mentioned (stop repeating yourself, c – bad writing…otherwise the first signs of approaching senility!), I was unable to keep up with the comments and was spending entire days just on replies on my various blog pages, so had to close them off on all of my blogs, except for one or two of particular interest to me.
Sorry and hope you can understand.
* “Don’t bend; don’t water it down; don’t try to make it logical; don’t edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly.”

“As we live and move and have our being, so from this vision, we create heaven in our own lives… and perhaps even heaven on earth.”
– craig (as inspired by Acts 17:28 and the words of Felicia Searcy)
“Aim at the earth and you may not get off the ground.a
“Aim at the stars and you may reach the moon.”
“Aim at heaven and you’ll have earth thrown in…
and you may even hit the stars.”
– craig (as inspired by the famous quote by CS Lewis – 24th May 2012)
“When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.”
– Leonardo da Vinci
When (or if ever) you arrive in heaven, let faith, hope and love be the wings that carried you there.”
– as adapted from the inspiring words of Jonathan Edwards, former minister in New England, Massachusetts
“The Greatest Race: Living by (with) faith, hope and love is the highest podium any person can reach, God’s podium that anyone stand on.”
– c
“Having pursued the goals, the dreams set before us and run the race with persistence and endurance, after giving it all. Then one day standing on the summit of life, breathing in the pure sweet oxygen of achievement, totally satisfied in running the greatest race, the race of life one that ANYONE can run and win.”
from http://racetothechequeredflag.wordpress.com/
and http://www.godandformula1.wordpress.com
“If a man is called to be a street-sweeper,
he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted,
or Beethoven composed music, or
Shakespeare wrote poetry.
He should sweep streets so well
that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say,
here lived a great street sweeper
who did his job well.”
– Dr Martin Luther King, Jr.

Instead of trying to reply to each one of you, I’ll just keep on writing (which I’m often told is what is “safest” for me!)
“If the doctor told me I had six minutes to live, I’d type a little faster.”

“I wish you well on a rainy day
I wish you rainbows to brighten your day
To feel your quiet moments with a special kind of warmth
to remind you that happiness can happen
when you least expect it.
I wish you rainbows to make you laugh and smile
to show you the simple beauty of life
and to give you the magic of dreams come true.
I wish you rainbows
I wish you well.”

Hi
This is craig and this is a quick word of sincere thanks to you ALL. I came across the following post from international best-selling author, Bryant McGill on his Facebook page, which I felt “inspired” to share. Brant’s writing summed up/put these thoughts far better than “lazy-bones” I ever could have done, so am sharing these beautifully-written and heart-felt sentiments in the same spirit (through copy and paste ( CONTROL C AND V)
Personalized, “adapted” and abbreviated (edited) from

Thanks (sincerely) for “the borrow” Bryant.

This is a personal message to ALL you good people around the world, who follow my various blog pages and posts and read and comment my various writings on WordPress and in my books. I want you to know that I really appreciate all of you. I would love to respond to nearly every comment. I can’t do that; however I do care that you take the time to read (and absorb) what I’ve written and may even have commented. I do read as many comments on my 200 + blogs as I can, but probably have missed countless thoughts of yours, so have not replied. Sorry and thanks for the understanding.
“Just as you grow and learn, I am also growing and learning from you all…and really like people to THINK.”
I just felt compelled to let you know that I really appreciate you for reading and perhaps following my various writings. Never think for a moment, that just because I don’t respond to comments or messages that I am not paying attention. I am paying attention and I am grateful.
I am a full-time writer, which means you are a very important part of my life. I wish all of you the freedom, respect and happiness you each deserve. Thank you all for being a part of my life. Your presence, feedback and contribution “out there in cyberspace” has added immeasurable to my ‘little’ life here in “isolated and far-off Sleepy Hollow”, near the bottom of the world and through the medium of the net we can be and remain connected in spirit.
