 A phrase you hear a lot these days is, "You're overthinking this," which, to be honest, is not something I've noticed to be that widespread a problem.

Monday Musing

  "You come to realize - while there is still time, hopefully - that your potential for happiness is a vast virgin land, your current comfort zone just an encampment at its edge."

Wednesday Whimsy

 "A good rule of thumb for determining what's really important in life is that you wouldn't trade it in on a new one."

The Ladder of Hope

    A Mind to rule the brain,

A Spirit to fire the mind,

A Heart to temper the spirit,

A Soul to guide the heart,

A Grace to nourish the soul.

Thoughtful Thursday

  "There is nothing owed with so little sense of debt, and given with so little thought of repayment, as a happy childhood."

*See Below

"The stars in their myriad constellations:  a trillion asterisks and no explanations."

Wednesday Wildcard

  "I've learned this about making a good first impression -- that obviously trying to do so works better than obviously not trying."

Ah, Wistfulness!

  "I love to go down to the open sea 

For the solitude -- and the company."

Thoughtful Thursday

 "If I choose to believe that we're all God's children, it's because I'm darn sure it's all or none."
