One Quiet Moment

The poetry of the earth is never dead. John Keats

Peace is a gift. It is a gift we give to ourselves. And then to each other

One Quiet Moment

“Expect to have hope rekindled. Expect your prayers to be answered in wondrous ways. The dry seasons in life do not last. The spring rains will come again.”  Sarah Ban Breathnachi

Happy Weekend!! Enjoy!!

No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn.
Hal Borland

Can Spring Be So Far Away??

Spring is when you feel like whistling even with a shoe full of slush. Doug Larson
I really shouldn't whine so much about winter -- it hasn't been that cold, just gray, chill and so dreary!!  And then today the sun came out!!  Hooray!

Hey, Mom, It Snowed -- Again!!!

I like to walk on fresh fallen snow
The kind that whispers and speaks.
It sings a song as I walk along
With crackles and scrunches and squeaks.
Snowmen fall from Heaven, Some assembly required.


I hope all of you have a wonderful, fun weekend !!

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.
