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

Change - - - She is A Comin'

I knew when I lost my job (well, I didn't actually LOSE it - - - my school closed which pretty much ended my employment) that change would be coming.

I never DREAMED how MUCH change.

I never dreamed it would mean I would return to my Badger roots.

Yesterday Fisherhubby resigned from his job in the Marion ER and after working out a 90 day notice he will begin his NEW job in the ER at Riverview Hospital in Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin.

I will be a displaced Badger no longer.

I've already blogged about my connection to Wisconsin Rapids here, and here.

My friend Connie was instrumental in helping Greg secure this new position. Strange and wonderful how the threads of our lives keep twining together. You can read about our twining threads here.
