" Never be so focused 
on what you're 
looking for 
that you overlook
 the thing 
you actually find. "
                  Ann Patchett 







" Things are not always 
what they seem;
 the first appearance 
deceives many; 
the intelligence of
 a few perceives 
what has been 
carefully hidden. "
                 Phaedrus










" How little do they see
 what really is, 
who frame their 
hasty judgment 
upon that 
which seems. "
                    Daniel Webster




" What we call the 
secret of happiness 
is no more a secret 
than our 
willingness to
 choose life. "
               Leo Buscaglia

    Today you gave us food for thought and a feast for the eyes. But that's usually the case. Cloudia, you take the long view and definitely have your act together.

    Life? Or an existence? Not a hard decision.

    I'll agree with A. Patchett.. Too much tunnel-vision can fog your quest and make you miss some of the side trips.

    Totally agrees with "Things are not always what they seem"...especially when online like FB and etc. A photo or article may "show" something but we don;t know the real story behind it.

    Eg. last month, there was a photo of a cat being strung up on a pole in front of a house. Netizens started condemning the house owner. Later it was discovered that the house owner was threathen by gangsters and the dead cat is a warning. House owner did not take the dead cat down coz he was waiting for the police to come to do the necessary .

    Anyway...happy weekend Cloudia
