...wishing i had more time to write. more time to reply to wonderful comments. more space to read all of the wonderful posts i know are out there. alas, i cannot manufacture more time or space before i depart shortly for another magical week at soltura.
wishing you your own glorious, magical week! i leave you with this thought:
Each of us literally chooses,
by his way of attending to things,
what sort of universe
he shall appear to himself to inhabit.
by his way of attending to things,
what sort of universe
he shall appear to himself to inhabit.
--William James
What sort of universe do you wish to inhabit?

I wish to inhabit the sort of universe in which there were enough hours in the day to do it all.... If you ever get a great insight on that subject, please send it my way?

A small, cozy, intimate and warm one.
One of peace, calm and gentle joy...except for the days of boisterous hilarity...
One where kindness is something that the inhabitants breathe in - and out.
(Your question reminded me of a quote I saw, just yesterday...I will have to go in search of it, and if I find it again, I will post it a little later.)
Here it is:
"People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are.
I don't believe in circumstances.
The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look
for the circumstances they want, and, if they can't find them,
make them. "
-- George Bernard Shaw
I like this one just fine ;-)
