300 and Won!

Did you hear about the bowler who bowled 300 and won? It is kind of a word play. "300" is a perfect bowling score --its the highest game you can get. When you say "300 and won" it sounds like 301 -- which is impossible. But you could hardly bowl 300 and lose, can you? When you bowl 300 then you just bowled "300 and won."

In the few weeks since we have gathered here on "Coffee Time" at http://www.sipstalk.blogspot.com/ we have had over 300 visits. That might be one person logging on 300 times, or 30 people logging on 10 times, or 10 people logging on 30 times, or some other combination of the above. To me, it is 300 reflections; 300 ponderings; 300 late night musings, or 300 early morning risings. To me, it is 300 passing considerations between "us" -- whoever us is beginning to be.

Like a perfect game of 300 in bowling, you can hardly lose when you put 300 thoughts together -- that's 300 and won!

Thank you for visiting. I don't write because I am a good writer. I write because you are a good listener. I like spending time with you. I like hearing what you have to say and think. I like learning. I like being together. Invite others. Let's meet up here -- glass of wine...cup of coffee...something to learn together....

You are awesome, awesome people. Thanks for letting me climb with you. Jeff on the mountains...with one of his "climbing coaches" -- Aaron.

Today I copied and pasted your address to 30 people. If 10 people did the same thing and one person sent it to one person that would be 301 people reached with your challenges to make this a better world. You're good at writing and making a difference. I'm good at Math.

My challenge. Anyone reading this may want to take the time to keep this going. Just copy the link and send it on. It sure never does any good to keep valuable ideas to yourself. :)This is a good thing.

I like what Doc suggested. I'm doing the same thing--pasting the address to several friends. This site is so upbeat and positive. It needs to get out there. 301--that sounds like the title of something. Might make a good sermon title or magazine article.:)

The site is very positive. It helps us all look within ourselves and grow.
