Sunday Morning Reflections - Thanks Mel Brooks

1/18/2015

I found this great quote from Mel Brooks and I'm going to follow through on his suggestion and walk away from the computer for the rest of the day.

"Never retire! Do what you do and keep doing it. But don't do it on Friday. Take Friday off.
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, do fishing, do sexual activities, watch Fred Astaire movies.
Then from Monday to Thursday, do what you've been doing all your life,
unless it's lifting bags of potatoes off the back of a truck.
I mean, after eighty-five that's hard to do.
My point is: Life full and don't retreat."
Mel Brooks

Wishing everybody a terrific Sunday - I'm going to do my best to just step away from the business completely today, which is pretty tough to do. So, as I attempt to walk the talk, I'm suggesting everybody do the same. Have a great day. Enjoy your family and friends and tomorrow morning, whatever you didn't work on today will still be there!

Happy Sunday everybody! And, to Mel Brooks' point - live well and don't retreat!
