Summer Quips

The only way to repay a kindness is to pass it on.

Joy comes from the unmistakable sounds of someone caring for you.

One of the best things about a "kindness" is that it is unexpected and often undeserved.

It is easier to become prominent than it is to become valuable.

Mistakes and sin are not the same, a mistake is an error in judgment, a sin is an error of character.

People do not always know that they are making an error in judgmental but they always know when they are making a error of character.

Success in one area usually means the neglect of another. Balance of all is true success.

If everything is easy then you are likely only attempting easy tasks.

Enjoying life is an art, a privilege, and a responsibility.

I have learned that parenting your parents is as difficult and rewarding as parenting your children.

Having a big heart is much more valuable than having a big head.

I once met a man that had risen to the level of importance who had not lost it.

Becoming the right person is much more challenging than acting like you want please.

Summer thoughts

Doubt is the leading cause of worry.

May you live to eat the chicken who scratches on your grave.

The archives of your life, should be full of thankfulness.

A shoulder to the wheel will get you farther, than flying by the seat of your pants.

Faith takes the guess out of life.

Hope is the first letter of happiness.

It is not always more I need, but understanding and caring for what I have, is the real challenge of life.

It is open season on happiness, help yourself!

Each of us contain a well of happiness and sadness, from which shall I draw today?

When you are full of ideas hunger escapes you.

Cabin thoughts

We recently spent the Memorial Day weekend at the cabin, found the area teaming with late spring,and early summer activities.

As it is a new cabin. I am constantly amazed at the new things that need fixed, repaired or paid attention to again.

We will be there for the summer and will “hopefully” get it all together. Although I find that, most people do not want all of it or if it is together for some folk, you have to rearrange it for the next one. Most folks only want a small part; so keeping it altogether may not be as important as I once thought.

A tree fell off the mountain behind us and landed about 5 feet from the cabin and as I look up it appears that there will be more on the way. The pond looks like a cup of milk chocolate and the front lawn does not yet exist. The mulberry tree that I planed from Florida seems to have adapted well.

Here are few thoughts for the day:

Effort is the currency of accomplishment.

If it were easy success would slide down hill.

The real thrill in life is the thrill of life.

Friends are the diamonds of our journey.

Mother's not only give you life but they sweeten it for you.

Today is mother's special day but they are special everyday.

Imagination is a gift to the hopeful.

I asked him is there was a methodology to his stupidity.

He said that stupidity was repeating the same mistake but this time expecting an applause.
