“To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.”

“I’m a walking storeroom of facts….. I’ve just lost the key to the storeroom door.”

We are like butterflies who flutter for a day and think it is forever. ~Carl Sagan

May the wings of the butterfly kiss the sun
And find your shoulder to light on,
To bring you luck, happiness and riches
Today, tomorrow and beyond.
~Irish Blessing

The most affectionate creature in the world is a wet dog.
Ambrose Bierce (1842-c.1914)

Saying of the week:

The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing at the right time, but also to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.

My child, show tears over a
dead person
and intone the lament to show
your own deep grief;
bury the body with due
ceremonial,
and do not neglect to honor
the grave . . .
And then be comforted in your
sorrow;
for grief can lead to death,
a grief-stricken heart
undermines your strength.
Let grief end with the funeral;
a life of grief oppresses the
mind.

(Ecclesiasticus 38:16-20).

Sadly, this is easier said than done.

Happiness is like a butterfly:
the more you chase it,
the more it will elude you,
but if you turn your attention
to other things, it will
come and sit softly
on your shoulder….

_~Thoreau

Life Is a
Gift

Today
Before you say an unkind word – Think of someone who
can’t Speak.

Before
You complain about the taste of your food – Think of someone
Who has nothing to eat.

Before
You complain about your husband or wife – Think of someone
who’s crying out to GOD for a companion.

Today
Before you complain about life – Think of someone who went
Too early.

Before Whining
about the distance you drive Think of someone who
Walks the same distance with their feet.

And when
You are tired and complain about your job – Think of the
Unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your
Job.

And when
Depressing thoughts seem to get you down – Put a smile on
Your face and think: you’re alive and still
Around.
