Evening Wisdom, Thoughts and Beauty



Our care should not be to have lived long as to have lived enough.
Seneca



Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.
Soren Kierkegaard



Life can be found only in the present moment. The past is gone, the future is not yet here, and if we do not go back to ourselves in the present moment, we cannot be in touch with life.
Thich Nhat Hanh



Life is like a sewer. What you get out of it depends on what you put into it.
Tom Lehrer



We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.
Winston Churchill

What Can I Say?

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.
