Beauty isn't worth thinking about; what's important is your mind. You don't
want a fifty-dollar haircut on a fifty-cent head.

twelve hours a day.

Still having to rely on my photo files, not much sun! Guess I can't really complain though -- it may be rainy and dark, but it's not that cold!  Patience, that's what I need and have very little of!!



Character may be manifested in the great moments, but it is made in the
small ones.
 Phillips Brooks

The most important thing is to enjoy your life, to be happy-it's all that

We are actually enjoying some really lovely weather and I wish I were able to get to some of my favorite places, but I'll have to rely on the "good ole" files for today! Hope all of you have a great weekend!!

There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains
     of nature - the assurance that dawn comes after night, and
     spring after the winter.
                                                                           
       Rachel Carson

If we try hard to bring happiness to others, we cannot stop it from coming
to us also. To get joy, we must give it, and to keep joy, we must scatter
it.   John Templeton

We've had sun for two days!! I'm ecstatic!  But I had already put my post together and besides, I didn't have a way to get to the harbor and that's where I wanted to be! Thank goodness for photo files!!!
Resolve to keep happy and your joy and you shall form an invincible host
against difficulties.  Helen Keller
That which seems the height of absurdity in one generation often becomes the
height of wisdom in the next.

There is a wonderful mythical law of nature that the three things we crave
most in life -- happiness, freedom, and peace of mind -- are always attained
by giving them to someone else.    Peyton Conway

Wishing all of you a lovely, restful, happy weekend!

The pleasantest things in the world are pleasant thoughts: and the great art
of life is to have as many of them as possible.  Montaigne

Wisdom is what's left after we've run out of personal opinions.

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.
