Evening Words, Wisdom and Beauty



When nobody around you seems to measure up, it's time to check your yardstick.
Bill Lemley



This was sent to me by my friend at iyer-n-higher . He has a wonderful blog and worth taking a look at. And I thought this was worth sharing here this evening.

What a great world it would be if the mind became hungry and growled like the stomach did.



If you keep on saying things are going to be bad, you have a good chance of being a prophet.
Isaac Bashevis Singer



Nothing is so strong as gentleness. Nothing is so gentle as real strength.
Frances de Sales

This felt just like "Atlas Shrugged" and the world fell off my shoulders.

After a loooong, stressful, day... this was the perfect post to read.
Thanks, Sylvia.

Beautiful words and images! Especially the last one with the flowers in the foreground and mist in the background.

Oh, I like the one about the mind growling like the stomach does. Mine actually does. I can feel it when I need intellectual stimulation. I feel growly. It was the hardest part about being retired, that loss of mental challenge. That's why I do things like reading the editorial page, watch cable political programs, and blog.

I love the Sales quote; self fulfilling prophesies. And the Singer quote about strength and gentleness is so true.

I am with Lew - I love the contrast of the bright flowes in the foreground with the mist hovering over the trees.

Just keep saying that something bad is going to happen and then you might be right. That is so true!

Hi Sylvia, your photos are beautiful, the last one would look stunning in a frame and hung on the wall.
Your blog is wonderful and your heart is in the right place!

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.
