Today, many will rise above their believed limitations and make contact with their powerful innate strength. Why not you?
Today, many will choose to live in such a manner that they will be a positive role model for their children. Why not you?

Today, many will choose to live free of conditions and rules governing their own happiness. Why not you?
Today, many will find abundance in simplicity. Why not you?
Today, many will be confronted by difficult moral choices and they will choose to do what is right instead of what is beneficial. Why not you?
Today, many will decide to no longer sit back with a victim mentality, but to take charge of their lives and make positive changes. Why not you?
Today, many will take the action necessary to make a difference. Why not you?
Today, many will make the commitment to be a better mother, father, son, daughter, student, teacher, worker, boss, brother, sister, & so much more. Why not you?
Today is a new day!
Many will seize this day.
Many will live it to the fullest.
Why not you?

On the fifth day of Texmas Governor Abbott gave to me,
Five Airbus A330-300s,
Four high producing oil wells,
Three modular crude oil refineries,
Two prefabricated airports,
And an Airbus Beluga A300-600ST Super Transporter.

That is really a great post Fort verden! We have never heard that before or even considered it.

Thank you both for sharing! Great food for thought. Nom, nom, nom! 🥣

You're welcome Big Tex of NewTexas. :)

From now on, instead of Fort Verden, everyone please call me Verner since Verner is actually my first name. However, as much as I wish it to be, Von Richthofen isn't actually my real surname. Manfred Von Richthofen a.k.a. the Red Baron who was a WWI flying ace is my hero. Therefore, I use Von Richthofen as my online surname and told my wife and sons to do that too. :)

Suggestion accepted. (Was trying to think of something for the fifth day...)

On the fifth day of Texmas, Gov. Abbott gave to me,
Five oil wells....
Four tumbleweeds,
Three toll roads
Two Lone Stars.
And an 80 mile per hour speed limit.

You're welcome. I laughed at your tumbleweeds and now you've got one more oil well than I do. You got the last laugh. :)
