A little Annie for ya

Not the 'sun will come out' one,
but Annie Ernaux.

Same general thought process,

but said quite differently.

What counts

is not the things that happen,

but what we do with them.

Life is all about choices.

How we behave.

How we respond.

How we react.

How we treat others.

There just is no excuse

to behave poorly.

Which are you?

Some people
look for a beautiful place.

Others

make the place beautiful.

Some people

search for peace.

Others

bring peace with them.

Some people

seek out acceptance.

Others

envelope all.

Some people

look for love.

Others

are love.

Which are you?

Thirty

Today,
my baby boy turns THIRTY!

Miles 

has always taken the road less travelled.

He has proven himself time and again

as a powerful, positive, extraordinary human.

With humility and humor,

grit and grace,

chaos and charm ...

he walks through life 

with an army of amazing friends

because he's an amazing friend.

Couldn't be more proud

of the spectacularly special soul

that you've carved yourself to be.

Enjoy your day

and every little thing in it!!!

Happy 30!!!!

Education vs Experience

Pete Seeger put this wonderfully:

Do you know the difference

between education and experience?

Education is 

when you read the fine print;

experience is what you get

when you don't.

Made me chuckle this morning.

For my givers ...

You all know who you are.
This little nugget jumped right at me.

Thought I'd better share.

Check on yourself

as much as you

check on Instagram.

THIS!

This is missing.
This is something

we all need to remember.

We do not have to agree

ON ANY THING

to be kind to one another.

Deep

This quote by Heraclitus
is one of those that just makes you think
and then think some more
and then some more.

No man ever steps

in the same river twice,

for it's not the same river

and he's not the same man.

What do you think about that?
