Thursday's Thought for the Day....

Red Nose Day - "Love Actually" Sequel
"Wherever you see tragedy, you see 
bravery too — wherever you see ordinary
 people in need, you see extraordinary ordinary people come to their aid," he said, tying in to the charitable theme.
"Today is Red Nose Day and people are giving their hard-earned cash to people they'll never meet. 
But whose pain and fear they feel 
and want to fight. 
So, it's not only romantic love that's all around—most people still, every day, everywhere, have enough love in their heart to help other human beings in trouble. 
Good's going to
 win. 
I'm actually sure of it."
"Prime Minister" as played by Hugh Grant

Wednesday's Wisdom....


    "BE YOURSELF."

    "Especially, do not feign affection.
    Neither be cynical about love;
    for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
    it is as perennial as the grass." 
    ~Max Ehrmann - Desiderata

Friday Fotos....



"May there always be work for your hands to do,
May your purse always hold a coin or two.
May the sun always shine warm on your windowpane,
May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend always be near you,
And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you."

                                                                       - An Irish Blessing


and then there's this....

Nothing says "Happy St. Patrick's Day"
 like a toddler adorned in all her shamrock finest!

This is what we refer to as a "classic" family photo of C from several years ago now.
I keep a copy on the inside of our bathroom cabinet.
Makes me smile every time I look at it.

Wishing everyone a safe, happy, snow free weekend!

Wednesday's Wisdom....

    "Exercise caution in your business affairs;
    for the world is full of trickery.
    But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
    many persons strive for high ideals;
    and everywhere life is full of heroism."

Thursday's Thought for the Day....

"What eats people up is anxiety.  
It creates the tyranny of the 'should haves'--I should have done this.
I should have done that.

My advice: do what you can, 
try your best, 
and then don't worry about it."

~ Dick Van Dyke
