I (heart) Mondays: double entendre du jour

To have a sense of direction means

• You know where you are going
• You know how to get there

Rat's Country: Forgive yourself

Why does this take so long?

The day the child realizes that all adults are imperfect, he becomes an adolescent; the day he forgives them, he becomes an adult; the day he forgives himself, he becomes wise. -Alden Nowlan, poet, novelist, and playwright (1933-1983)

I (Heart) Blue Mondays

just discovered this lovely French phrase:

 l'heure bleue is the period of twilight each morning and evening when there is neither full daylight or complete darkness.

"for soon it is gone and we fly away."

“Moses said, “As for the days of our life, they contain seventy years, or if due to strength, eighty years, yet their pride is but labour and sorrow; for soon it is gone and we fly away” (Ps. 90: 10).”

I (Heart) Mondays

Every morning in Tuscarora I walk down the gentle grade to the crossroads, stop, stretch, and vow to run up the hill.  I never do.  This morning as I trudged the uphill mile I asked myself why I have never considered running down the hill.  Tomorrow I will see what happens when I go with gravity instead of against it.

I (Heart) Mondays

Sometimes, for no good reason.
