Dog named Jesus

"I am still determined to be cheerful and happy, in whatever situation I may be; for I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances."

"It is a wise father that knows his own child."

"Monday’s child is fair of face, Tuesday’s child is full of grace,

Wednesday’s child is full of woe, Thursday’s child has far to go,

Friday’s child is loving and giving, Saturday’s child works hard for living,

But the child that is born on Sabbath day Is bonny and blithe,

and good and gay."

"We are alone, absolutely alone on this chance planet; and, amid all the forms of life that surround us, not one, excepting the dog, has made an alliance with us."

MY ESCAPE

"Exercise alone provides psychological and physical benefits. However, if you also adopt a strategy that engages your mind while you exercise, you can get a whole host of psychological benefits fairly quickly."

Working hard and playing hard...Just like the ole days...minus the substances!
Bought myself a new daysailer...'ESCAPE"...appropriately named

"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he
grows up."

"During [these] periods of relaxation after concentrated intellectual activity, the intuitive mind seems to take over and can produce the sudden clarifying insights which give so much joy and delight."

"I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music. It seems to infuse strength into my limbs and ideas into my brain. Life seems to go on without effort, when I am filled with music."

Feel an ugency to cram a bunch of fun into a few short months.
Summer in The State of Maine. Winters are long.

This ole bod needs more attention...inversion therapy , ice and occasional adjustments seem to be helping.

Baby Cam finally arrived..3-23-04..

I wish that I was selfmotivated enough to keep up with these dribblings.
Work has been stressful. I will probably transition, but may have to make a deal with the devil to stay on full time. We'll see..... Hail Mary, Full of Grace!

"Complaining is good for you as long as you're not complaining to the person you're complaining about."

Precious Brendan staying over this evening...Three years old and telling me "grammie, you're my girlfriend". Life doesn't get much better than this. He owns my heart. So much to be grateful for. I need to remind myself of these moments when my mind travels to unpleasant places.

A new office ... Exciting. http://www.pvhhealthcare.org

Derek and Steph to celebrate another anniversary. Tomorrow I need to take the time and build/send my 'Dearies' a custom card.
