A Little Bit of Foolishness

Each day, and the living of it, has to be a conscious creation in which discipline an order relieved  with some play and pure foolishness.
Mary Sarton

*Sadly, my dad did not believe in play and certainly not foolishness. I guess that he was brought up in a time when hard work was required by everyone in the family... just to survive.  Even as an adult, I find it hard to work playtime into my schedule, but I'm trying. ;)

In Need of Advice

Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud.
 Maya Angelou

Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year. No man has learned anything rightly, until he knows that every day is Doomsday.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Try to understand the blackness, lethargy, hopelessness, and loneliness they’re going through. Be there for them when they come through the other side. It’s hard to be a friend to someone who’s depressed, but it is one of the kindest, noblest, and best things you will ever do.”
Stephen Fry

One of the best pieces of advice I ever got was from a horse master. He told me to go slow to go fast. I think that applies to everything in life. We live as though there aren't enough hours in the day but if we do each thing calmly and carefully we will get it done quicker and with much less stress.
Viggo Mortensen

Kids and Christmas

Are you experiencing the holiday season in the same way your kids are?? Who said that you can't bounce off the walls in excitement just because you aren't a kid any longer?? For the rest of the day, I want you to pretend that you are six years old again and I want you to get excited! Hey... it's almost Christmas!!

Life is tooo short NOT to get excited!!
