Laugh. Laughter is immeasureable. Be joyful though you have considered all the facts. . . .
Ask yourself: Will this satisfy a woman satisfied to bear a child? Will this disturb the sleep of a woman near to giving birth?

quote of the day
12 Rules to Live By - Robert Louis Stevenson
Make up your mind to be happy. Learn to find pleasure in simple things.
Make the best of circumstances. No one has everything and everyone has something of sorrow.
Don’t take yourself too seriously.
Don’t let criticism worry you. You can’t please everybody.
Don’t let your neighbors set your standards; be yourself.
Do things you enjoy doing but stay out of debt.
Don’t borrow trouble. Imaginary things are harder to bear than actual ones.
Since hate poisons the soul, do not cherish enmities and grudges. Avoid people who make you unhappy.
Have many interests. If you can’t travel, read about places.
Don’t hold post-mortems or spend time brooding over sorrows and mistakes.
Do what you can for those less fortunate than yourself.
Keep busy at something. A very busy person never has time to be unhappy.

b-day
Yes it's my birthday!
Ogden Nash said:
Well, here I am thirty-eight
Well I certainly thought I'd have longer to wait,
You just stop in for a couple of beers,
And gosh, there go thirty-seven years.
Well it certainly has been fun,
But I certainly thought I'd have got a lot more done.
Why if I'd been waked up and alive,
I could have been a Congressman since I was twenty-one
or President since I was thirty-five.

It's official . . .
. . . I am now a person who stops at the side of the road for piles of pine branches. Rebecca thinks I need a bumper sticker "I brake for pine." It made the goats happy though.
Today I'm making yogurt. Can goat's milk yogurt be far behind?
And here's a gratitude quote I like:
Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude.~Denis Waitley~

an inspirational quote for an uninspired day
And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud
was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.
--Anais Nin
Or as Sophie interprets it, "The risk is greater to curl up
and hide then it is to stand up and fight."
