Just got back from GULF SHORES, AL - with my favorite people in the world...my family.
We do this every year - and I highly recommend it.   As we get older, we go our separate ways - and once a year we get back together and have a crazy couple of weeks just hanging out - catching up on each others lives and laughing hysterically about the years we spent together.

Life can be hectic and busy.   Life can be slow and seem pointless. YOU are the only one who can change your world.  Make your existence count.  Be about more than your immediate  surroundings.  Here are some books I recommend  to anyone who wants to have been deemed "useful" when this life is over.

Change You Thoughts, Change Your Life - Dr. Wayne Dyer

Purpose Driven Life - Rick Warren

Paths to Peace: People Who Changed The World - Jane Breskin Zalben

The World Is Flat - Thomas L. Friedman

More Than A Carpenter - Josh McDowell
