Evening, Wisdom and Beauty

Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.   Abraham
Lincoln

Happiness does not depend on outward things, but on the way we see them.-
Count Leo Tolstoy
I think I began learning long ago that those who are happiest are those who
do the most for others.    Booker T. Washington

  2. I agree totally with these quotes. Helping others is a great antidote for unhappiness/self-pity.

    Hope your week is going well too Sylvia. Appreciate all your wonderful and positive comments on my blog.

  4. Ain't that a spectacular sky? Love the colors. We had snow for a day...sad, it's really warming up... poor kids can't play much on snow.

  12. I love your snow shots. I had to resort to my archive for skywatch today and looked over my snow pictures from previous years. I don't like snow when I have to drive in it but it sure makes for nice pics.

    I love the Abraham Lincoln quote. He was one wise dude.
