Sunday Thoughts

Just because you support an injustice doesn't mean you will one day become a victim of it yourself, but that would be the opening line in Las Vegas.

We are all biased when it comes to judging ourselves, although it is questionable whether this actually favors the defense.

It is always just one thing.  When it goes right, it seems that everything is going right.  When it goes wrong, it seems that everything is going wrong.  But it is always just one thing.  The rest of the "everything" is inconsequential.

"One of the hardest things to do when you have no explanation is to keep it short." 

This Happiness Thing

The greatest obstacle to joy is a fully paid-up joylessness.

You can look ahead to happiness, or you can look back on it, but it's so hard to notice it to your left or right. 

We fancy that we would be happier in some far away place, as if you could catch a plane to a state of mind.

The key to happiness is pretty much the same as the key to worry and anxiety -- you must learn to make a big deal out of nothing.

Mirthful Monday

"One thing you learn in a long marriage is not to assume someone is dead just because they're unresponsive." 

Saturday Sampler

 You come to see that aging is not a graying of the hair or a wrinkling of the skin but, rather, a tiredness that comes over the eyes. Renewed youth is not a cosmetic to be applied to your cheek; it is a rebirth of interest and engagement that shines in your outlook.

Monday Musing

 The human body is 60% water, and like water everywhere it is forever recycling.  The teardrop that evaporates on your cheek falls again as a drop of rain nourishing the plant that another eats.  As human beings we not only share the same sorrows, we may, in the end, cry the same tears.

It is not a great work of art if it shows the work or, for that matter, reveals the art.
