Enjoy Life

 

Slow down and enjoy life. 

 It's not only 

the scenery you miss

 by going to fast - 

you also miss 

the sense of

 where you are going

 and why.
~Eddie Cantor~

Normal Day

 

Normal day, 

let me be aware of the treasure you are.

 Let me learn from you, love you, bless you before you depart.

 Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow.

 Let me hold you while I may, for it may not always be so.

 One day I shall dig my nails into the earth, 

or bury my face in the pillow,

 or stretch myself taut, 

or raise my hands to the sky and want,

 more than all the world, 

your return.

 ~Mary Jean Iron~

Going On

Courage is being afraid but going on anyhow.  

~Dan Rather~

Little Talent

 

It takes a little talent to see clearly

 what lies under one's nose,

 a good deal of it to know

 in which direction 

to point that organ.
~W. H. Auden~   

Never Alone

One is never alone with a rubber duck.

~Douglas Adams~

 but rather of 

recognizing and appreciating

 what we do have.

Ambulation of Mind

Walking is also an ambulation of mind.
