This Morning's Quote about The Weather

The best thing one can do when it's raining is to let it rain.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow



Well, I guess that happening across this quote is just a way to let the wind blow and then check to see what we are left with. For all of you new visitors, I have been complaining about all of the aching muscles that I have been nursing since planting the garden and how my poor body is improving a wee little bit... and then I hear that we are in for 60 km winds by the weekend. I'm not sure if our little plants can support that! Having to replant everything from scratch... doesn't sound like a whole lot of fun :(   If you can keep your fingers crossed for our little patch of the garden, I would be very grateful.  ;)

It's Only Because He Was Sad...

What Is a Cold Man?

 This morning, I'm thinking about all of the people out there who are ignored simply because people think that they are cold and unfeeling. Actually I'm reading a book like that right now.

“Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not; and often times we call a man cold when he is only sad.”
  Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Thoughts about Dreary Days

Into each life some rain must fall, some days must be dark and dreary.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Longfellow: Selected Poems (Penguin Classics)I don't like that at all. I want all sunshiny days. When we were kids, days were full of sunshine and mudpies! I see nothing wrong with that! ;) As I sit here and think about the quote it occurs to me that we have too many days that are dark and dreary and I really don't see their use??

I wonder what brought Longfellow to think like that?

Quotes about being Disappointed

Disappointment with God


"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
Mark Twain

It is foolish to pretend that one is fully recovered from a disappointed passion. Such wounds always leave a scar.”
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

“You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don't try.”
Beverly Sills

For, he that expects nothing shall not be disappointed, but he that expects much - if he lives and uses that in hand day by day - shall be full to running over.”
Edgar Cayce

Blessed is he who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed.
Benjamin Franklin
