Winter is nature's way of saying, "Up yours."  ~Robert Byrne

Let us love winter, for it is the spring of genius.  ~Pietro Aretino

I like these cold, gray winter days.  Days like these let you savor a bad mood.  ~Bill Watterson

I was just thinking, if it is really religion with these nudist colonies, they sure must turn atheists in the wintertime.  ~Will Rogers

I believe:

"A room without books is like a body without the soul."

~ Cicero

quote o' the day

Jonathan Swift - "May you live every day of your life."

One of the serious obstacles to the improvement of our race is indiscriminate charity.
~Andrew Carnegie (1835 - 1919)
The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; to an opponent, tolerance; to a friend, your heart; to your child, a good example; to a father, deference; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to yourself, respect; to all men, charity.
~Francis Maitland Balfour

Happy New Year!
Trade Show week, Sami turns 13 today, I am taking the exact same classes as I took last year at this time. I hope I can journal what happened to me...Rachel and me laughing at a bat...man...WE WANNA DO THAT!! too funny
it is a new year and loving my body and feeding my mind are the most important things to focus on these days. next would be getting Rachel graduated and away to college. She will soar in college...I love her deeply. And last but definately not least is Donny and Sami Randall are mine...our family is new and sweet, and will be old and wonderful :0)
