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

But you can read too!

Ten Just-for-Fun Things That Make Me Happy

(In no particular order)

1) Wisconsin

2) College Football

Especially my Badgers.
Especially when they WIN.

3) Sportin' my gear.

4) Friends
Old and new

5) Blogging
Reading YOUR comments
Building relationships

6) Snow
And the two hour delays it sometimes brings.
(photo taken yesterday afternoon in my own backyard)

7) New boots to wear in the snow.

8) Sitting before a fire in my comfy recliner
Wearing cozy jammies
And fuzzy slippers
Wrapped in my sexy leopard skin snuggie
Sipping a warm latte.

9) NOT smelling any cheap cigar smoke

10) These pictures:

Especially when I hear their little voices
Calling me "Kamma."
