Evening, Wisdom and Beauty



The Constitution only guarantees the American people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself. ~Benjamin Franklin



Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length. ~Robert Frost



Some pursue happiness, others create it. ~Author Unknown



You cannot always have happiness, but you can always give happiness. ~Author Unknown



Happiness held is the seed; happiness shared is the flower. ~Author Unknown



Happiness often sneaks in through a door you didn't know you left open.
~John Barrymore

Happiness can be equated to a state of mind.

Joy can be equated to an open heart.

Bliss can be equated to the joining of Spirit.

Sylvia,
I am totally engrossed in your novel which I can only read in instalments, otherwise I would have gobbled it up at one gulp.
Sitting does unpleasant things to my legs.

Evening is a wonderful part of the day, and, if accompanied by happiness, what a wonderful feeling. I enjoy both your lovely photos, soft music and quotes.

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.
