Happy Last Day

Happy Last Day

I hope you achieved some of what you wished to in 2012 

and I hope 2013 is a prosperous year for everyone.

May there be more compassion, 

understanding and empathy amongst humanity.

I hope we all come to appreciate LIFE 

in all it's forms, for all it's significance.

We are not just a part of the Food Chain.

We are a part of a Living System.

What we do matters.

Let us see what, how we effect our environs and people.

Love to all great and small.

We are in this together.

Happy New Year!

A post from facebook...

So the world is supposed to be ending today? 
That's sad. I never found out who let the dogs out, the way to get to Sesame Street, why Dora doesn't just use Google maps, why we don't ever see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery", why women can't put on mascara with their mouth closed, why "abbreviated" is such a long word, why lemon juice is made with artificial flavor yet dishwashing liquid is made with real lemons, why they sterilize the needle for lethal injections and why do you have to "put your two cents in" but it's only a "penny for your thoughts"? Where's that extra penny going to? Why did Joanie love Chachi? If a deaf person has to go to court is it still called a hearing? Can a hearse carrying a corpse drive in the carpool lane? Does the alphabet song and twinkle twinkle little star have the same tune? Why did you just try to sing those two previous songs? And just what is Victoria's secret? You see, the world just has to keep going. I have too many questions......and do you really think I am this witty ???? because I actually stole this from a friend, who stole from a friend, who stole from a friend, who stole from a friend , who stole from a friend .... 
Please steal it again...

Sharing Beauty

My cyber friend Author Luke Romyn posted this on his facebook page.

Luke's words...

There is something wonderful in damaged goods, something perfection can't compete with.

This is the piece he shared...

"The most beautiful people we have known 

are those who have known defeat, 

known suffering, known struggle, known loss, 

and have found their way out of the depths.

These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, 

and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, 

gentleness, and a deep loving concern.

Beautiful people do not just happen."
