When I was alone I had so much time fearing for the mistakes. I don´t have time for that anymore and therefore I rarely fear mistakes even if they do keep on coming. Okay, there is that fear where I end up naked on the town square...

I found the quotes especially rich tonight but I am in asomewhat nervous state as you gleaned so everything is a bit too meaningful! Thanks for your kind and supportive words. I am going to totally appreciate your positive energy.

Hi, I read 'Never say, "oops." Always say, "Ah, interesting." ~Author Unknown' and I read the whole line again, again, and yet again, and I feel like to add something: "or, inspiring!" :)

I liked the one about 'suffering being optional'. A great insight. Sylvia, you just rock and my best wishes for continual rocking in the years to come. Thanks for visiting my blog this year and inspiring me with your comments.

Beautiful photos. For some reason, the first one makes me think of the Hand of God.
Cheers.

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.
