Evening, Wisdom and Beauty

Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face. ~Victor Hugo



I've always thought that a big laugh is a really loud noise from the soul saying, "Ain't that the truth." ~Quincy Jones



If you surrender to the wind, you can ride it. ~Toni Morrison

Mirth is God's medicine. Everybody ought to bathe in it. ~Henry Ward Beecher



You've got a lot of choices. If getting out of bed in the morning is a chore and you're not smiling on a regular basis, try another choice. ~Steven D. Woodhull



Remember, if you’re headed in the wrong direction, God allows U-turns! ~Allison Gappa Bottke



The most wasted of all days is one without laughter. ~e.e. cummings



What soap is to the body, laughter is to the soul. ~Yiddish Proverb

A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. Prov 17:22

I think, your posts are a breath of fresh air for the crushed spirit.
Keep at it.

Laughter truly makes you forget and diminish what ever may not be right in your life at the time. Wonderful quotes and pictures.

Beautiful pictures matched with beautiful prose.

Great shots. That last quote was brilliant.

I especially love that shot of the water dotted with sailboats - very serene, at least from above. Probably much more activity on board!

Great words of wisdom to accompany your beautiful images!

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.
