One Quiet Moment

Ordinary riches can be stolen, real riches cannot. In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken from you.

One Quiet Moment

There is only one way to happiness, and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will.
Epictetus

Ready for Spring!!

I was cleaning out my blog files/photos etc. and suddenly realized just how eager I am for spring!! Not sure why – it’s been a mild winter and we are seeing wonderful spring like days, beautiful skies and delightful temperatures??? But as I looked at the flowers that it is too early for, I decided that having these kinds of photos to see me through the gray/dull times is exactly the reason I like to take photos!! So, I thought that I would share a few of these with you today!



Hope you enjoy them!! Have a great week!!

Our World!!


 Welcome to Our World and to one of mine!!  We’ve had such incredibly beautiful weather and even on the coast of Seattle  -- blue skies and snow covered mountains!! Doesn’t get any better!
Joy does not simply happen to us. We have to choose joy and keep choosing it every day. — Henri Nouwen

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.
