I thought I'd add a short video that brought a smile to my face.

Don't wish me happiness

I don't expect to be happy all the time...

It's gotten beyond that somehow.
Wish me courage and strength and a sense of humor.
I will need them all.

--Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Someone posted this on my FB page today - I thought it was kind of neat and kind of appropriate for us.

We're all just walking each other home.

I really like the Anne Morrow Lindbergh quote. I must add that if I didn't have a sense of humor, I would probably be insane. So, along that vein, here's a comment that really gave me a laugh recently (and at a time I really needed a laugh!):

Frisbeetarianism is the belief that when you die, your soul goes up on the roof and gets stuck. George Carlin

Bon you are so right with that quote, that's what I am currently doing actually.. 

"Less is more" after all, right?

A friend of mine recently enrolled her young son in Pee-Wee Soccer. After shopping for shorts & cleats, receiving the treasured team shirt and packing a snack the toddled off to their first game. After the first half, which seemed to be made up solely of a large mass of kids moving as one up and down the field, her son ran over to her to eat his snack. Breathless from running so much he looked up at his Mom & Dad and said:

    "Remind me.....why do I need to kick the ball?"

I couldn't stop laughing. We sometimes get so wrapped up in the trappings of life that we forget to think about why we are doing any of this!

Virginia, What a great story and message! Yes, indeed, why do I need to do anything?

Bon, all I can say is "AMEN!!!!"

My husband died years ago, but I had to laugh at this quote: "It's great being married to my best friend. I can tell him anything, because he only listens to half of what I say!"

For your friends till they are dead;
Do not write them on their tombstones,
Speak them rather now instead. –                    Anna Cummins

I looked into that turtle's eyes and saw something that was alive before my grandfather was born, and I didn't want to be the end of that journey. I figured he had earned his right to enjoy the rest of his days in the deep.

Love the quotes from the last few days. Thanks everyone!

"What we see depends mainly on what we look for." - John Lubbock

I'm still chuckling over how to handle stress like a dog. Linda-n3 I agree with completely with the quote you just shared.

Here's one I like to remember:

"It is particularly incumbent on those who never change their opinion, to be secure of judging properly at first.”- Jane Austin

I've been meditating on these for a while....
