Potato-po-tah-to

Did you know "niche" rhymes with "quiche"?  I'll bet you thought "niche" rhymed with "kitsch."   And when was the last time  you made a quiche?  1972?

I (Heart) Mondays

 Surrounded by redwood trees, vision limited by thick summer fog, I am teaching myself--especially on Mondays--to think beyond laundry and dinner.  What about Rome next spring and the Basque country in the fall?

I (Heart) Mondays

"The purpose of life is the progressive expansion of happiness and the ability to love and have compassion.  And also the ability to be in touch with the creative source inside you."  Deepak Chopra

Okay, maybe I have posted this before.  Can't remember.  It's worth reminding you--and me--again.

It's four in the morning. Who will you call?

"Is there someone in your life whom you would feel comfortable phoning at four in the morning to tell your troubles to?  If your answer is yes, you will likely live longer than someone whose answer is no."

from Flourish by Martin E.P. Seligman

The songs of your childhood

For an inexplicable reason, I suddenly remembered this little ditty from my childhood:

"Where oh where has my little dog gone?
Where oh where can he be?
With his ears cut short and his tail cut long,
Where oh where can he be?"

Why, I haven't a clue!

I (Heart) Mondays

At least you woke up!
