I Will Try, Again!

Courage doesn’t always roar.
Sometimes courage is the quiet voice
at the end of the day saying,
I will try again tomorrow.”

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.

Do you remember?


I have found
that the best most memorable days
were the ones that didn't start off with a plan.

Find Peace...wherever you are!



But I try to steal other moments. 

Sometimes I get up very early in the morning and enjoy a quiet house and 

cup of tea before the craziness 

begins. 

Other times, I'll take a quick walk on the beach. 

You can find peace in a few minutes.

Art Displayed...

Art, after all, 
is traditionally displayed against vacancies: 
paintings on dun walls, 
sculptures in empty spaces, 
music in quiet halls.

Happiness Pursued!

Happiness 
is like a butterfly 
which, 
when pursued
is always beyond our grasp, 
but, 
if you will sit down quietly
may alight upon you. 
~Nathaniel Hawthorne
