Evening, Wisdom and Beauty



Wisdom is the reward you get for a lifetime of listening when you'd have preferred to talk. ~Doug Larson



We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak. ~Epictetus



Home is where you can say anything you like cause nobody listens to you anyway. ~Author Unknown



My wife says I never listen to her. At least I think that's what she said. ~Author Unknown



Remember, we all stumble, every one of us. That's why it's a comfort to go hand in hand. ~Emily Kimbrough

Love these quotes!
& I'll be the first to admit I love a good gabfest but I have noticed the older I get I actually prefer to listen more than I like to talk-it's easier!

Hmmmm... Actually this could have been my husband complaining about me. And it's not true. I always listen... usually.... most of the time.

Is that a little Japanese garden with the stone lights? When I was in Singapore, part of the resident's part of the campu, there were such stone lights.

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.
