    Brenda, those require some major meditation. Thanks! And still passing on the advice for handling stress like a dog to everyone I talk with - makes lots of people laugh.

    "Effort only fully releases its reward after a person refuses to quit." - Napoleon Hill (1883-1970)

    The cold doesn't bother me anyway -- Let it Go, The Frozen (Disney, for those of you who don't have middle schoolers).

    The song speaks to me for some reason.  I think it has a message for me and for many others, particularly women.  Every time I hear the end I think "so there!"

    I wish for you that someone will see you the next time you need it!

    Attention without object is a supreme form of prayer.  Simone Weil

    The Zen master Ikkyu was once asked to write a distillation of the highest wisdom. He wrote only one word: Attention.
    The visitor was displeased. "Is that all?" So Ikkyu obliged him. Two words now.
    Attention. Attention.

    Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you.

    Carl Sandburg, poet (1878-1967)
