Quotes of Note

You're born a male but you have to CHOOSE to be a man" - Herm Edwards

"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that" - Unknown

"They err who think Santa Clause comes down through the chimney; he really enters through the heart." - Mrs. Paul M. Ell

"Thankfully, our true roots are in heritage and not things. I just need to keep reminding myself that things are only reminders of heritage." - Keetha Broyles, June 21, 2010

"Tears lubricate the soul." - from "Finding Buck McHenry"

"Somehow you must come to understand that God is love, that love is the proof of God, and forgiveness is the proof of love." - The Priest in "Levi's Will" by W. Dale Cramer

"The truth about a man is in what he does, not what he says." - W. Dale Cramer in "Levi's Will"

"Fairy Tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten." - G. K. Chesterton

Bloggy Pay it Forward

This is not an April Fool's Joke
I PROMISE!

Someone (or ones) in blogland has started a bloggy pay it forward. Surely you remember the movie by the same name.

Here's how it works in our corner of cyber space:

1) If you want to participate, you need to leave a comment under this post.
2) I will send a surprise to the first THREE folks who comment.
3) If you are one of the three, it will then be your turn to pay it forward in the same manner.

I was honored to be one of the three gift recipients from KBeau's blog, "In the Slow Lane."

About the surprise you will receive from me if you are one of the first three commenters - - - it will not be handmade, but it will be specially chosen with love by me for you. And that is a promise!!!

Hurry up and comment!!!

Cass @ That Old House said...: Ah, I am too late for the giveaway...but that's OK -- I was rewarded by a big LAUGH at your comment on the April Food's Day post. Yes, indeed... the dying message on the cellar wall. Oh well, at least I don't have to feed them, too....

My brother in law says that past residents clearly disciplined their children by tossing them down the cellar stairs and leaving them there. Spoken like a man with 4 daughters who's been tempted to do likewise!

And inspired by you I am going to start walking again . . . tomorrow. Hey, it's drizzling today!
