Evening Words, Wisdom and Beauty



When nobody around you seems to measure up, it's time to check your yardstick.
Bill Lemley



This was sent to me by my friend at iyer-n-higher . He has a wonderful blog and worth taking a look at. And I thought this was worth sharing here this evening.

What a great world it would be if the mind became hungry and growled like the stomach did.



If you keep on saying things are going to be bad, you have a good chance of being a prophet.
Isaac Bashevis Singer



Nothing is so strong as gentleness. Nothing is so gentle as real strength.
Frances de Sales

    inhaling deeply... exhaling slowly...

    This felt just like "Atlas Shrugged" and the world fell off my shoulders.

    After a loooong, stressful, day... this was the perfect post to read.
    Thanks, Sylvia.

    Oh, I like the one about the mind growling like the stomach does. Mine actually does. I can feel it when I need intellectual stimulation. I feel growly. It was the hardest part about being retired, that loss of mental challenge. That's why I do things like reading the editorial page, watch cable political programs, and blog.

    I love the Sales quote; self fulfilling prophesies. And the Singer quote about strength and gentleness is so true.

    I am with Lew - I love the contrast of the bright flowes in the foreground with the mist hovering over the trees.

    Just keep saying that something bad is going to happen and then you might be right. That is so true!
