Barefoot on the Road Less Traveled

A  L  O  H  A !

 "  We inhabit ourselves 
without valuing ourselves,
unable to see
 that here, now,
 this very moment
is sacred;
 but once it's
 gone -
- its value is
 incontestable. "

Joyce Carol Oates











" Just cause you got 
the monkey off your back
doesn't mean the circus
 has left town. "

George Carlin















" People are like
 stained-glass windows.
 They sparkle and shine
 when the sun is out,
 but when the darkness sets in
their true beauty
 is revealed only
 if there is light
from within.  "

Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

  14. Hi Cloudia! I just saw an article in the Star Advertiser today about the immigrant clothing exhibit. It sounds very interesting but the tickets are a little on the pricey side. It makes me glad we're seniors now. :-)
