Quotation Station...
From the Movie "Broken Trails":
"We're all travelers in this world,
From the sweet grass,
To the Packin' house...
Birth till death
We travel between the Eternities."
"Plants are the young of the world, vessels of helath and vigor... they grope ever upward toward consciousness."
Ralph Wlado Emerson (1803-1882)
Fear less, hope more;eat less, chew more;whine less, breathe more;talk less, say more;love more, and all good things will be yours.
-Swedish proverb
Daily Good...
I really just could not help but share this Daily Good with y'all. I got it from charityfocus.org... if you're a dork like me you'll totally get hooked on this and before you know it you'll have a bowl of rice doanted!
If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one. --Mother Teresa
Good News of the Day: What if just knowing what a word meant could help feed hungry people around the world? Well, at website called FreeRice it does. Go to the site, and you'll see a word and four definitions. Choose the right meaning and the site's advertisers will donate 10 grains of rice to the World Food Program, a United Nations agency that is the world's largest humanitarian organization. Keep on guessing (the quiz gets progressively more arduous, not to mention vexatious), and for each correct answer 10 more grains of rice will head to people who need it. Now, admittedly, 10 grains is a piddling amount. But the totals have grown exponentially. Over 56 billion grains of rice have been donated to date through this innovative program. [

Journal Jottings...
As ironic as it may seem, I was inspired to begin this blog by mean and rude people. Through people I've met, both good and bad, it continues to blow me away how some people can be to others without knowing them or never even meeting them before. Sometimes my mind asks, "What have I ever done to you? I don't even know you!" I'll be the first to admit to some pretty bad days, and I'm sure there will be much opportuntiy for more, but that is still no reason to treat people crappy. I just so badly wanted to take the negetivity from myself, and those around me and turn that energy into goodness, happiness, love and inspiration. It is so easy to get caught up in the financial stress, work worries, and just too much stuff going on in our lives, but we can still be good and happy people. That goodness has seemed to have been lost among much of society, especially through kids...and they are the source. I truely believe kids are what, when all is said and donewill change the world, will change all of us. We must be the examples, but more importantly we must be willing for these little people to teach us, and for us to actually learn from them. I get the biggest kick out of people who are so annoyed by kids and crying babies, like they never were one...get over yourself, and try to use a little patience. Have some fun. If you do good, good will come to you.
