In times of crisis we must avoid both ignorant change and ignorant opposition to change.

Education does not mean teaching people to know what they do
not know; it means teaching them to behave as they do not behave.

Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting
a few drops on yourself!
An idea: To share a little happiness with someone, try writing a note saying something like "Someone cares and is praying for you today" and leave it somewhere for a stranger to find. You could place it on a public bathroom mirror (without anyone seeing), or leave it in a magazine at the doctor's office etc... use your imagination with this.
Someone who finds it may be blessed by it, or they may be down and smile when they read it. You never know how you can impact someone's life by such a small gesture. Actually pray for the 'person' who will find it after you've placed it somewhere.
You will be blessed by this also!

he'd better have it overhauled or change it.

Saw Charlie St. Cloud today. The movie was great but sad. Zac Efron the hunk from The High School Musicals was the lead star. He and his little brother Sam was hit by a drunk driver, Sam died, and Charlie (Zac) dies but is brought back to life (for a second chance) at life. However he isn't able to move on and gets a job as caretaker at the cemetary where Sam is buried. He also meets with Sam (really Sam's ghost) to play catch every night at sunset and has been doing so five years after his brother's death. It is not until he meets a girl (at the cemetary visiting her grandfather's grave) that he begins to live and love again. But not until a few more tragedies happen. I will keep to myself the ending, so as not to ruin it if any of you decide to see it. It is definitely worth seeing. I rate it 4 **** out of 5!
Today is supposed to be 92 again! I am so ready for Fall. I went to see the movie Inception yesterday. It was good but a little too long (especially in a freezing movie theatre). It is about dreams and others manipulating and planting dreams in other people's minds. It was deep and I didn't get all of it, so I guess I'll be getting it from Netflix to watch again. Hopefully I'll totally understand it the second time around.
I found a new blog online last night http://thesecretlifeofamanicdepressive.wordpress.com/2010/08/
This blog is written by a lady in the UK who is manic/depressive or Bipolar. Here she shares everything about her illness and living with it day to day. I read it for too long last night, but it was so interesting I couldn't stop. If you have bipolar, (or if you're interested in the subject) you must visit this site!
Hope you have a great Saturday!

It is with narrow-souled people as with narrow-necked bottles--
the less they have in them the more noise they make in pouring it out.

Optimist or pessimist? Do you call traffic signals go-lights?
Do you get this? I'm still scratching my head. Guess I'm a pessimist.
