    Too true.
    They don't drop in one's lap either - but they are all around to see if one is alert.
    I hope I'm forgiven for having got the letter wrong this week!

    Very true. In fact, Opportunity seems to go around wearing one of those fake Groucho Marx glasses/nose/mustache things.

    I'm sure it doesn't hurt if you get off your butt and look for them, although I rarely do. (get off my butt)

    It's a good thing they aren't labeled as my eyes would have to get up close and squint to read them...lol! I'd much rather have them come knocking on my door.

    I'm in a silly mood tonight...tee hee! :0)

    That must be why some people have such a hard time recognizing them.~Ames

    So true - if I had been more aware of opportunities...so many I just didn't recognize.

    What a true statement! You have to look closely to see that an opportunity has presented itself most often, usually if it announces itself then I'm usually like this is too good to be true kind of thing, you know. lol.

    By the way, be sure to check out my very first post link. I've passed something on to you....=D

    Love your quote you shared on opportunity and everyone's comments on opportunity too. I have an opportunity that's presented itself to me...now I have to decide if I run with it :o)

Hi! Thanks for leaving a comment! My handy dandy e-mail assistant always notifies me when you do and I read every single one.

I try to respond to comments with a return e-mail BUT I just noticed that I've been answering a lot of them to blogs that haven't linked their e-mail address to their Google account! I haven't been ignoring your comments, but now I know you aren't getting my reply e-mails! I'm sorry!

I know a lot of other bloggers who respond to comments via e-mail so if you haven't left off your e-mail on purpose, you might want to add it on! If you don't know how you can let me know in your comment and I'll see if I can help you!

Thanks so much for reading my 'Tangents'! Your comments always feel like a hug!
