Thanks for posting that Shawn. How very true! I have practiced that to overcome my TMS procrastination/perfectionist traits. For example if I don't have the energy to vaccuum, I'll put it out and do it later.
Twain's one of my favorite's. He had quite an exciting life. Traveled exstensivley in the Wild West and abroad. He suffered from depression later in life and his later works reflect it. He had plenty to be deprssed about; many poor business investments like buying stock in the wrong typewriter company and family tragedies, the premature deaths of family.
What's up with you Shawn, haven't seen you posting much here of late.
Regards,
tt
