Evening, Wisdom and Beauty



There came a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. ~Anaïs Nin

Man cannot remake himself without suffering, for he is both the marble and the sculptor. ~Dr. Alexis Carrel



I know well what I am fleeing from but not what I am in search of. ~Michel de Montaigne

There are chapters in every life which are seldom read and certainly not aloud. ~Carol Shields



Keep smiling - it makes people wonder what you've been up to. ~Author Unknown

Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky. ~Rabindranath Tagore

Some days there won't be a song in your heart. Sing anyway. ~Emory Austin

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.
