Here is a journey I make each day. Time flows on this side of eternity. I have aged as gracefully as reasonable as can be be expected, and yet feel not a day older in my mind. As I begin a life in the Smoky Mountains I hope you will share my journey as well. www.kleincabin.com

If you don't to learn how to enjoy (be happy) what we have; how will having more make us happier?
Thankfulness is the soil of happiness.
Energy will be spent today one way or another what will the results be?
To do nothing with a perfectly wonderful day is the ultimate sin.
Only start what you are prepared to finished.
A mile in someone else's shoes is worth a year in college.

Shared moments are the building blocks of memories.
When your critics say you can't, they really mean they can't.
Greed is the ultimate isolation.
Giving is a perpetual reward.
One of the greatest challenges in life is to be yourself.
The more you in believe others the greater your risk of success.
Grace is amazing because it is amazing.

Do you ever wonder how good it really can get? Not withstanding, beer commercials, which reflect projected misery, and a very sterile, limited lifeprint. Real life must be taken by the hand to share a journey into the meanings, values, smiles. You need a zest of what each moment has to offer.
Never measure life by the number of breaths you take but measure life by the number of times your breath has been taken away! There are many, many opportunities for you to experience this phenomena so choose never to live below your privilege of tasting and enjoying the today you now are experiencing.
