Evening, Wisdom and Beauty



Today, give a stranger one of your smiles. It might be the only sunshine he sees all day. ~Quoted in P.S. I Love You, compiled by H. Jackson Brown, Jr.



A smile is an inexpensive way to change your looks. ~Charles Gordy



Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been. ~Mark Twain



The robbed that smiles, steals something from the thief. ~William Shakespeare, Othello



The fifth : Teaching the yuppies....
The
white haired seniors
tagging behind
the cool yuppies
dark with intent,
a few blondes
to the side;

The seniors
need to push,
the yuppies,
dense with
condensed thoughts,
crowded in lethargy.

And as they wander
high above the earth
watching
the going ons below,
a senior spies
a few parched lands,
gives some yuppies
a push,
to say,
"Corporate Social Responsibilty
means,
becoming Rain
for those that
look up to you,
parched and arrid....."

They rumble,
and grumble,
but
then again,
there's a flash
of realization,
and they
pour down in torrents....

Smile - it increases your face value. ~Author Unknown



Plenty of people miss their share of happiness, not because they never found it, but because they didn't stop to enjoy it. ~William Feather

You reminded me that I did Othello in High School, and yesterday, a drama company bring Shakespear to school came to my school to use the auditorium for rehearsal. I spoke to the guys and kept thinking the Shakespearian books I know.

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.
