On Your Wedding Day

To My Daughter and Her Fiance. One week from today you will become husband and wife. I wish you many, many years of happiness.

Taking a Break

 

This will be my last post for a little while. I'm writing for Maven, I have a quilt that needs quilting, my flower garden is starting to wake up (it's almost SPRINGTIME!), and that book I started last December isn't going to write itself.

Don't worry—it's not forever. Like the Terminator "I'll be back."

Happy Birthday

 If I had to choose 

between breathing 

and loving my children, 

I would use my last breath 

to tell them 

"I love you."

Happy Birthday to my daughter Elizabeth.

A New Beginning

 "Let us all hope that the dark clouds of racial prejudice will soon pass away and the deep fog of misunderstanding will be lifted from our fear-drenched communities, and in some not too distant tomorrow the radiant stars of love and brotherhood will shine over our great nation with all their scintillating beauty.

"I am convinced that if we are to get on the right side of the world revolution, we as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values. We must rapidly begin the shift from a 'thing-oriented' society to a 'person-oriented' society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important that people, the giant triplets of racism, materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered."

"These are the times for real choices and not false ones. We are at the moment when our lives must be placed on the line if our nation is to survive its own folly."

—Martin Luther King, Jr.
