“For the man sound in body and serene of mind
there is no such thing as bad weather;
every day has its beauty,
and storms which whip the blood
do but make it pulse more vigorously.”
George Gissing
Winter," The Private Papers of Henry Ryecroft
“Climate is what we expect,
weather is what we get.”
Mark Twain
“On cable TV they have a weather channel –
24 hours of weather.
We had something like that where I grew up.
We called it a window”
Dan Spencer

“A perfectly healthy sentence, it is true,
is extremely rare.
For the most part we miss
the hue and fragrance of the thought;
as if we could be satisfied
with the dews of the morning
or evening without their colors,
or the heavens without their azure.”
Henry David Thoreau

“We see flowers of all kinds.
Men are able to make plastic flowers…
But can any one fill the plastic flowers
with the native fragrance
that is got from natural flowers?
This is possible only by the Divine.”
Sri Sathya Sai Baba
“The fragrance of white tea
is the feeling of existing
in the mists that float over waters;
the scent of peony
is the scent of the absence of negativity:
a lack of confusion, doubt, and darkness;
to smell a rose is to teach your soul to skip;
a nut and a wood together
is a walk over fallen Autumn leaves;
the touch of jasmine
is a night's dream under the nomad's moon.”
C. JoyBell C.

Monday night about 10 my phone and internet disappeared.
This morning the technician at Time Warner checked (after I had talked to three people)
and said my modem had died and they would replace it.
Because this is the second time this happened in two weeks, they were going to try to do it on Tuesday.
Like, immediately! Wow!
Nope. Didn’t happen.
My son came over this evening and did something that resuscitated it and said make sure it gets replaced. I’m on the schedule for Wednesday morning.
????????????
Maybe I shouldn’t wait another hour+ to send these….
But, it lasted two weeks the last time it was resuscitated….
“The first rule of any technology used in a business
is that automation applied to an efficient operation
will magnify the efficiency.
The second is that automation
applied to an inefficient operation
will magnify the inefficiency.”
Bill Gates

“It is only when they go wrong
that machines remind you how powerful they are.”
Clive James
“Technology… is a queer thing.
It brings you great gifts with one hand,
and it stabs you in the back with the other.”

Quotations for Motivation, Inspiration or Contemplation


Thought Of The Day

"It is very important for everyone to have smiled at a stranger, to have helped somebody they will never see again, to have done something kind and/ or nice for somebody with no strings attached, and to have loved somebody unconditionally. There will always come a time, sooner or later, when each of us will feel that we have nothing left to give to this world, or that that this world has everything and does not need anything more from us. At that time, only if we have done the above, will we be able to believe that this world is still capable of smiling at us, helping us, being kind and nice to us, and above all, is capable of loving us."

This world is, to you, a mirror of your inner self.


"Life isn't about building walls and hiding behind them. It's about breaking them down and expanding beyond them!"

It has always struck a chord with me as something to live by!

Thoughts Of The Day
"It is strange that we know so little about what good most people do. The most humbling thought ever is that someone is always thinking about you, whether you are here or have past on, someone is always thinking about you. This is the single most powerful understanding in life that I have come to know."

You can't change your past
