I was having coffee early a month or so ago at Molly Malone’s Café at American Yacht Harbor in Red Hook, St. Thomas, and guess what? Another addition to my scrapbook of postings was on one of the pilings…

Virgin Island Rules:

• Never judge a day by the weather.
• The best things in life aren’t things.
• Tell the truth – there’s less to remember.
• Speak softly and wear a loud shirt.
• Goals are deceptive – the un-aimed arrow never misses.
• He who dies with the most toys – still dies.
• Age is relative – when you’re over the hill, you pick up speed.
• There are two ways to be rich – make more or spend less.
• Beauty is internal – looks mean nothing.
  ( Well, sometimes it means something.)
• No rain – no rainbows!

May be we need to have the economic advisors to all of the various world governments to adopt these rules as a guide for getting out of the financial meltdowns we are experiencing.  I especially liked the “No rain-no rainbows!” one.  Are there some you can add to the list?  Until next time…never judge a day by the weather.
