Good Morning,
  
As I pondered today's thought, I was reminded of the following obituary I saw years ago.
To Whom It May Concern:
JOHN AVERAGEMAN WAS BURIED TODAY. 
He was born in1954, into an average family.
He attended grade and high school and managed to graduate without distinction. He was voted most likely to stay average.
In 1974, he married his childhood sweetheart Mary Mediocre.
They had two children, John Averageman, Jr. and Mary Mediocre Averageman.
He spent 42 years of undistinguished service to the Mediocre Products Co. John held several unimportant positions and managed to turn out mediocre products which brought him an average livelihood.
John Averageman never took a chance. He managed to develop practically none of his talents or abilities. He never became involved with anything or with anyone. His favorite book was "Non-Involvement". - The Story of Playing it Safe.
John lived, 65 years without Goals, Plans, Desires, Confidence, or Determination.
John's remains will rest undisturbed by the visits of friends in the Ordinary Man's Cemetery.
  
 None of us know the number of days we will be given but we can do our best with the days we are given. The sad thing is that too many people don't. They are just getting by when they could be soaring like the proverbial eagle.

Have a great week.
  
Jim
