Hi Linda, nice quotes. Especially like the Robert Redford sentiment. Pictures are nice too. We had a bobcat in the neighboorhood a few years back. saw it going through the trash cans after thanksgiving.

I needed this today, my world is changing from: strength is doing more, to strength is practicing patience.

Hi Randy,

Thanks for your email the other day. Yes, Joseph Campbell was great. It's good to see you blogging again...after some quiet time...and apparent changes. That's life...with its ups and downs, and changes and challenges.

Hi Dianne, Thanks for your comments. I guess we all need lessons in patience....and coming to that understanding does empower us and takes away stress...
