  • All’s Well That Ends Well

    If we can be thankful for what we receive, we should be thankful for what we escape. Native American Quote Reading this quote made me think of Shakespeare’s play, All’s Well That Ends Well. Sometimes, in the midst of difficulty, we can only see what is in front of us. When we look back we…

  • The Small Things

    The small things of life were often so much bigger than the great things…the trivial pleasure like cooking, one’s home, little poems especially sad ones, solitary walks, funny things seen and overheard. Barbara Pym When the movie, Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris, came out this summer, it reminded me that I had the original book…

  • Once More

    Sometimes, you have to look back to see the things that lie ahead. Yvonne Woon I’m taking one last look to reflect on my writing. Introspection has always been a useful tool for me. It’s easy to get caught up in the merry-go-round of life. Sometimes, it can be useful to stop and re-group. I…

  • Another Look

    Take a step back. Life gets distorted when you examine things from too close up. Michael Gungor I am taking a few weeks off from my usual Thursday posts. During this time I’m reposting some writing from past months. It may be new to many of you. If you have read it before, I hope…

  • Expectations

    Premature expectations are a big hassle for practical life. Dax Bamania Our dog, Hugo, would completely agree with this quote. He has narrowly definded expectations and finds it unacceptable when they are not met. Not only must they be met, they must be met in a consistent manner. Yesterday, I had an appointment with a…

  • Perfection Is Overrated

    I think perfection is ugly. Somewhere in the things humans make, I want to see scars, failure, disorder, distortion. Yohji Yamamoto I found this quilt folded up in an old apple basket, at the back of a stall run by a charming lady in her eighties, at the Christmas Market in Fredericksburg, Texas. It is…

  • Procrastinating and Criticism

    “Procrastination is not Laziness”, I tell him. “It is fear. Call it by its right name, and forgive yourself.” Julia Cameron So, this is how this post unraveled. It started out with an idea about an exhibit, I saw last week, titled, Georgia O’Keeffe, Photographer, I sat down at the computer, looked at my phone…

  • Friends

    Sometimes you meet people and know immediately that they are meant to be your friend. Alison G. Bailey One of my favorite parts of visiting the Broadmoor Hotel is driving past these stately, row homes. I fantasize about living here. Opening the French doors, a warm, summer breeze softly blows the drapes away from the…

  • Waiting

    Patience is something I can’t wait to have. Todd Stocker On my past birthday, that little voice that whispers in my ear said, “Don’t be concerned about the future. Give it six years. Looking back, you will find there is little reason for concern.” So, a couple of things come into play here. First, in…
