Evening, Wisdom and Beauty



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



Wisdom is divided into two parts:(a) having a great deal to say, and (b) not saying it.



Nothing is interesting if you're not interested. ~Helen MacInness

Those who wish to sing, always find a song. ~Swedish Proverb

I have found that if you love life, life will love you back. ~Arthur Rubinstein



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

There was a time when I hated life and it certainly hated me back! These had real simplicity and wisdom this evening for me.

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.
