~Thought for the Week~

I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe.

obstacles

~Thought for the Week~

The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew. ~ Abraham Lincoln

l'amour

He was a cowboy, mister, and he loved the land. He loved it so much he made a woman out of dirt and married her. But when he kissed her, she disintegrated. Later, at the funeral, when the preacher said, "Dust to dust," some people laughed, and the cowboy shot them. At his hanging, he told the others, "I'll be waiting for you in heaven--with a gun."

                              ~Jack Handey, Deep Thoughts

~Thought for the Week~

Loving is not just looking at each other, it's looking in the same direction.

sisters

~Happy/Loving Thought for Always~

A sister is a gift to the heart, a friend to the spirit, a golden thread to the meaning of life.  ~Isadora James

Happy Birthday, Terri, and thank you for being the golden thread that helps make my life meaningful, adventurous, and, more than anything else, filled with love and joy. In the words of Bette Davis, "Old age ain't no place for sissies". Fortunately, any age we happen to be (not "old", just "mature", right?) IS a place for "sisties". I lovelovelove you, and I especially love the fact that YOU are MY sistie. xox (pictured: Terri & Maxxy)

beginnings

Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.
