One Quiet Moment

In all things of nature, there is something of the marvelous.
       - Aristotle 

 
It is the marriage of the soul with Nature that makes the intellect fruitful, and gives birth to imagination.

One Quiet Moment

A Blooming Sunday!!!

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.--Marcel Proust

Happiness is not having what you want. It is wanting what you have. – Unknown

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.
