Words to inspire...

Listen to the MUSTN'TS, child,
Listen to the DON'TS
Listen to the SHOULDN'TS,
the IMPOSSIBLES, the WON'TS
Listen to the NEVER HAVES,
Then listen close to me-
Anything can happen, child,
Anything can be. -Shel Silverstein


There's so much negativity in life and for every good idea there's 10 saying "Don't do it". I feel that about My Travel Bug, Inc. sometimes. I think I could just shut down the website and stop putting money and effort into it... We'd fade out as a nice memory in the travel community but I can't shake off this feeling that we're on the verge of a break out. One more day, one more contact, one more dollar and we'll be solvent.

Maybe it's a fools errand but I've never been good at giving up. And so I leave you with one more gem from 'Uncle Shelby':


Draw a crazy picture,
Write a nutty poem,
Sing a mumble-grumble song,
Whistle through your comb.
Do a looney-gooney dance
Cross the kitchen floor
Put something silly in the world
That ain't been there before.
