Life in Transition

“If we had all the answers, then we wouldn’t need to write our own story.” Mike

Life brings changes… some good, some bad, some totally unexpected.  A year ago my plans of what my life would be like right now, are so much different than the reality of what is.  Many of us are going through [...]

Desperation

Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them.  - Henry David Thoreau

I LOVE rainy days...

The best thing one can do when it’s raining is to let it rain.  ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Nothing Lasts Forever

“Nothing is permanent in this wicked world—not even our troubles.”- Charlie Chaplin
