" 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. "

" Joy is not a commodity 

to be hoarded 

and protected. It is 

like a muscle. 

It must be used 

daily to keep 

strong and vigorous. "

 Because it makes us pay attention."

Resolutions For OTHERS

“ There is no 

human problem 

which could not

if people would 

simply do 

as I advise.”

need to realize

OK!

I'm kicking out the jams!

Breaking my rules

and telling Others

What To Do.

[Don't worry,

you, my friends,

are already 99%

Perfection]

Know-It-Alls

are tres annoying

to those of us

who DO know most,

yet behave

kind & cool

to others.

If Socrates could say

"I wander about 

in unending perplexity-"

And Einstein:

“A true genius 

admits that he/she 

knows nothing.” 

Who are we to swagger?

The greatest folk

I have met

have been kind

and humble!

(  )

I'm SO glad

WE met!

Seeing the genius

in You

has broadened

my life

considerably.

Thanks for 

visiting,

and for 

emboldening me

to shoot my mouth off
