A friend sent me the following quote :

?Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in
a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside,
thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming ? WOW? What a
ride!?

He had no attribution, for it.

I did a Google search.  Got 3820 hits -- lots of individual's and
organization's WEB site have it as a motto.  Sites ranged from Mountain
Bike/ Adventure Racing / Motorcycle Clubs to Gardening, Lifestyle-Couching,
Medical, Church's and Retirement Homes -- with  a Chapter of the Red Hat
Society somewhere in-between.

Obviously I looked at a bunch of them.  All, which I checked out, had no
attribution, or listed as "Unknown," or "Anonymous."

Anyone know where it came from.

BTW -- I also found slight variations such as:

"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely,
in one handsome and well-preserved piece. You should slide broadside across
that finish line, thoroughly used up, worn out, leaking oil, and shouting
'Geronimo!'"
