Famous quotes applicable to daily life (this post is a day late)

"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy.

Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that.

Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that."


--Martin Luther King, Jr

"Out of clutter, find simplicity. From discord, find harmony. In the middle of difficulty, lies opportunity."

-Albert Einstein

And it's that time of year. With so much coming in, something has to go. But remember to think of the mental clutter when purging to start the New Year with that fresh, shiny, invigorated feeling!

dolce far niente

Silver and Gold

There's an old saying about friends: Make new friends but keep the old, one is silver, the other gold.

Once upon a time, I believed that YaYas were the ladies with whom one had grown up.

I've learned over the last few years, and especially in the last few weeks, that a woman's YaYas can come along at any time, at any age, and can even come and go. They can also be long distance or nearby.

Sometimes, you can know them before you ever even meet them.

The key, the key is that they are there for you, and you for them.

To all my YaYas - near and far, old and new
