Thoughts on Character

Character is that which reveals
moral purpose, exposing the class
of things a man chooses or avoids.

                            Aristotle


A few weeks ago, the Get Along
visited Back in Time Antiques
in Redlands.

This one is a charmer with
twinkling lights.  Oh Oh France
our hearts are with you.

Namaste

This morning the visiting priest greeted us with
Namaste.  He had to repeat it three times to get
our attention for a satisfactory response from
the congregation.

I bow to the God within you.

My Father Loved Chocolate

It's the simple things in life that are
the most extraordinary.

Paulo Coelho


Pai (pronounced like pie means father)  liked chocolate
in all its forms. German Chocolate Cake,
warm chocolate chip cookies, and mild milk chocolate, too.

On the Value of a Lie

Just bounced over here from Susan Branch's blog
where she disclosed her Dad had passed away in
May.

In May, the Get Along Gang was at the
Morro Bay book signing.  When Sue was
asked about her Dad she said he was having a
hard time breathing and brushed it off.

I turned to Mr. Lee and whispered, "It's bad."
Oh, Sue, sweet authentic Sue, you did right to lie.

Hans has promised to keep the secret.

Don't Entertain Regret

 

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed

by the thing that you didn't do 

than by the ones you did do.  

So throw off the bowlines.

Sail away form the safe harbor. 

Catch the trade wind in your sail 

Explore. Dream. Discover. 

  Mark Twain

Summer, summer, summer time.

Make a list, name your fears.
Sweep them away.
