Our World!!

In my garden, after a rainfall, you can faintly, yes, hear the
      breaking of new blooms.                                                             
                                                          - Truman Capote
Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under
    trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of the water,
    or watching the clouds float across the sky is by no means
    a waste of time.  
                                                                                     - J. Lubbuck
Join us and celebrate the beauty of our world -- regardless of the season!!  Yes, I know, I obviously prefer Spring!!!

One Quiet Moment

There is only one person who could ever make you happy, and that person is you.
David Burns

Happy Sunday!!

Wishing all of you a very beautiful and peaceful Sunday!!

How strange that Nature does not knock, and yet, does not intrude!  Emily Dickinson


I do want to thank all of you for being so supportive of this "whiny old broad"!  There have been problems with posting, but I do suspect most of them have to do with my age and not Blogger!!  But I'm still having fun and each of you make it all SO worthwhile!!  You've made a wonderful difference in these late years and you are appreciated more than I can say!!

Shadow Shot Sunday!!


Everything about blogging is difficult these days and some days I simply don't have the patience or expertise -- whatever -- to post anything, anywhere!!! But I miss playing with the shadows, so I'm trying one more time! We'll see if it works!! Hope all of you are enjoying the new year!!

One Quiet Moment

“You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,
Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth.”
― William W. Purkey

Some Color for a January Day!!

Ah, beautiful colors!!  I do miss them!!
If any more of you can't see my photo here, would you let me know???  Not sure what to do now???

One Quiet Moment

It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.--Agnes Repplier

Seek to do good, and you will find that happiness will run after you.--James Freeman Clarke

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.
