“I care to live only to entice people to look at Nature’s loveliness.”
Happy belated birthday to John Muir (April 21st, not Earth Day as I had heard).
Just a little reminder to look for the loveliness all around you this Earth Day— and share it with someone you love.
Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself:
I,
not events,
have the power to make me happy or unhappy today.
I can choose which it shall be.
Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn’t arrived yet.
I have just one day, today, and I’m going to be happy in it.
– Groucho Marx
Everything I really need to know in life I learned from my children and Groucho Marx.
This is something I’ve been wanting to scream in the faces of a lot of people. Sadly it’s a lesson that can’t be taught, only realized.
It’s the easiest and most difficult thing you’ll ever do. Undoubtedly the most powerful.
Your whole life will change. I promise.
Politics ain’t worrying this country one-tenth as much
as where to find a parking space.-Will Rogers
I wonder how many times I’ll have to see it, before the horse-and-buggy parking signs juxtaposed against the Starbucks drive-thru ceases to amuse me. (It’s hard to tell, but there are poles to tether your horse in front of the signs.)
If I ever see a horse-and-buggy IN the Starbucks drive-thru, I’ll die a happy lady.
