“You can choose to live on the front row… or the third row.”
I love this old photo and the vivid progression it shows. It really does speak a thousand words. The pair of women on the third row look like sisters. I can imagine they were arguing before they got on the roller coaster. Move up to the second row and those ladies seem to be having a pretty darned good time. But those two on the front row? Have you ever seen such genuine fun painted on a couple of faces?
When you woke up this morning and dragged yourself out of bed, you bought the ticket (so to speak). There will be ups and downs and hairpin turns.
Now the choice is up to you. Will you live on the front row — or on the third row?
Wishing you a thriving Thursday,

I think you are a front-row person Olga. 😀 I think I hear the clackity-clack of the roller-coaster now. Let’s go! Thrive on my friend. Mega hugs.

Today, I didn’t even make the picture, Teagan! But I aspire to always live in the front row, come hell or high water 🙂

nice Teagan; I think I’d like to be a front row guy but at heart I sit in the third and watch with envy.

Hi Geoff. I admit that front row is pretty scary! Keeping a little distance from the wild downhill rush of the roller-coaster is not a bad thing. Why? Because I know that whether or not you realize it, you are a genuine thriver! Mega hugs.

Front row for me most of the time, I can find the fun in most situations. BUT, if I were in the front row and that happened to be the Big Dipper or similar I’d probably be screaming with fear and wetting myself.

Dear David… you are so funny. The “front row” is one thing. I think it’s fine to add a healthy dose of common sense and sanity. 😀 Thrive on! And mega hugs.

Well… I know I’m falling far short of thriving lately. But as Robert Ingersoll said — We rise by lifting others. So onward and upward. More hugs. ❤ 🙂

Me too. Mostly front row. I love the photo, it has to be old because the ladies are wearing slips and garter belts to hold up their stockings. Happy Thursday. :o)
