Indigestion???



Eating words has never given me indigestion.
~Winston Churchill


Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill (1874-1965) described himself as "an English-Speaking Union," being the son of Lord Randolph Churchill and the American heiress Jennie Jerome. He was educated at Harrow and the Royal Military College at Sandhurst, and was sent to India with a 
cavalry commission in 1895. He won early fame as a war correspondent, covering the Cuban revolt against Spain (1895), and British campaigns in the Northwest Frontier of India (1897), the Sudan (1898) and South Africa during the Boer War (1899). Churchill had authored five books by the age of 26. His daring escape from a Boer prison camp in 1899 made him a national hero and ushered him into the House of Commons, where his career spanned 60 years.

All tangled up?


When life gets all tangled up and confusing, 

that's the time to slow down, 

sit down, 

and work out the knots.

Calm...


Calm during the storm.


Birds sing after a storm; why shouldn't people feel as free to delight in whatever remains to them?


~Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy



Mrs. Kennedy rarely talked publicly about her personal grief. But once she remarked to a friend: "Wasn't there a book about Michelangelo called 'The Agony and the Ecstasy'? That's what my life has been."

The thing is...



“The thing
that’s important to know
is that you never know.
You’re always sort of
feeling your way.”
~Diane Arbus
