Evening, Wisdom and Beauty



God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me. ~Author Unknown



No one remains quite what he was when he recognizes himself. ~Thomas Mann



There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered. ~Nelson Mandela



If you've lost your enthusiasm, there's no better place to find it than on a skipping excursion. And, you might just find your lost youth as well! ~Jessi Lane Adams



Skipping is oxygen for the soul. ~Jessi Lane Adams

  6. lovely pictures; that white rose is perfect. And I might try skipping (if it ever stops raining). Sort of seems like the kind of thing you need a small grandchild for, but on reflection I wonder why?

  15. I haven't been skipping for yeeeears, but I loved those photos!

    And I'm so so sad to see the news about Molly in your sidebar. What a destiny, to be the one who's there to hold the hands of special little kids through the doors to heaven.
