One meets his destiny often in the road he takes to avoid it.

 Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf's a flower But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing Gold can stay. ~Robert Frost  Live this day as if it will be your last. Remember that you will only find tomorrow on the calendars of fools. Forget yesterday's defeats and ignore the problems of tomorrow. This is it. Doomsday. All you have. Make it the best day of your year. The saddest words you can ever utter are, If I had my life to live over again. Take the baton, now. Run with it! This is your day! Beginning today, treat everyone you meet, friend or foe, loved one or stranger, as if they were going to be dead at midnight. Extend to each person, no matter how trivial the contact, all the care and kindness and understanding and love that you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.
~ Og Mandino  I didn't intend to snap an advertisement for Southwest Airlines... I just happened to be boarding a plane when sunset happened in Vegas. And just like that, within a few hours, I landed on the east coast, bracing for a winter storm over the next couple of days. Expect snow pictures in the near future. :)
 No fancy quotes today. I had plans to go out and indulge myself in shopping bliss, but when I finally got around to leaving the house, the sky cleared up and I was reminded of the good parts of living in Portland. Decided to enjoy the sunlight instead.
Mt. Hood is somehow always the same, yet always different. Snows fall, ice melts. No matter what it's always impressive. The mountain accepts the cycles of change from its sturdy and unmovable place in the Cascade Mountains. There's a lesson there, I think. |
