WorldWide Drilling Resource

6 OCTOBER 2014 More to think about... Ever look around you and think about the wonder of life? How very special each moment of each day is, no matter whether it be sadness, sorrow, or happiness? The month of August was truly a wonder to me. Some may remember our last month’s issue (September), and all that history packed into that once-a-year edition. I had put in a timeline of the history of this company, and several of our subscribers, advertisers, and even investors, made nice comments about it. You see, some think every day should be a bed of roses. Well, I feel I need to tell you, that will never happen; for with that bed of roses, watch out - there are many thorns! Life is not promised to anyone; happiness is what each of us make it. No one can do that for you. It’s all up to you. So, as you read through this issue, reflect back on your life; the lives of those who are no longer with us; and those youngsters who have a full life ahead of them. Smile, and devote every minute of every day you have on this wonderful planet, sharing every chance you get with those around you. If they are down, make them smile, if even only for a moment. It will not only help them, but YOU will be surprised at what it does for you! Now, it’s October, and we are headed into a very busy schedule for the WWDR Team! NDA, CGA, IGSHPA, and Permian Basin. WHEW! It’s been a nice August, but we do miss seeing you all at the various events. Looking forward to it! Another new pair of shoes needed! See you on the trail!
