GRACE NOTES


Philosophy on the hurry up. Cliques and slogans can sometimes be very profound. I want to share some that at one time or another spoke to me. Humor is often a truth wrapped in a chuckle or a groan, a chance to view human folly kindly.

In going through my book of quotes I seem to have gathered a great number of short pithy sayings. I left many of them on the cutting room floor when I felt I had to edit down the length of the blog. "Oh well " as one of my sons is inclined to say.

Ernestine and Aisling,
I;m glad you like the quotes. I think when we read these quotable words we have a sense of conection to the speaker/writer and we reconize how much we share common feelings. Aisling,you have reminded me, I need to credit the picture. It was one of those pass-alongs that came via e-mail. I have used it as my desktop background. I think it must be a true albino.
