Day 8.......



A person cannot fully be at peace with others,
until he is at peace with himself.


Nature is painting for us day after day
pictures of infinite beauty – if only we had the eyes to see them.


Yesterday is gone -- forget it.
Tomorrow hasn’t come -- don’t worry about it.
Today is here -- so use it.


It is better to be wise and not seem so
than to seem wise and not be so.


A part of me is left in every place I have loved….
be it a simple tear,
a dream,
or the echo of my voice.






When you’re lonely – I wish you love
When you’re down – I wish you joy
When you’re troubled – I wish you peace
When things are complicated – I wish you simple beauty
When things are chaotic – I wish you inner peace
When things look empty – I wish you hope

I loved you once so tenderly that may God grant another hold you so dear.


Happiness is a butterfly which, when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp. But, which, if you will sit down quietly may alight upon you.

    Perfect timing - I definitely needed to read that today - it's so true! When things are off-balance with you, it's easy to shift the balance in your other relationships inadvertently.

    I'm loving this blog - it's stuff you ought to know, but forget or lose sight of, and when you see it in writing it clicks.
