On the Precipice of Something Good

On the Precipice of Something Good

I hope as you all reflect on what 2015 brought you and ponder what 2016 holds for you, may this be your guide:

I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You’re doing things you’ve never done before and more importantly, you’re doing something. – Neil Gaiman

Here is to a bold and exciting 2016 to you all!

Happy New Years!

Hiding All The Gray

Hiding All The Gray

I have a love – hate relationship with my hair.

Short hair, long hair, bangs, and no bangs – I have had it all.

A new cut and my favorite sweater!

There is only one cure for gray hair. It was invented by a Frenchman. It is called the guillotine. – P.G. Wodehouse

I am not quite at this phase yet, but I welcome your thoughts and ideas on this subject, gentle reader.

Do tell!

All Things Being Equal

All Things Being Equal

Today, something truly amazing happened, SCOTUS in a 5-4 ruling said that all citizens of the United States of America have the right to marry whomever they choose.

I am sad that it was not unanimous and sadder still at some of the things that were said by the four dissenters – namely Justices Scalia and Thomas. It is apparent that even appointment to the highest court in the land does not preclude one from being a complete and total idiot.

Bravo to Justice Kennedy for the closing paragraph of his opinion which I believe are the sweetest words I have read in a very long time.

Most Beautiful WordsYes indeed, Gentle Reader, love indeed wins.

With a Sense of Urgency

With a Sense of Urgency

“Beware the ides of March.” William Shakespeare

The Ides of March are upon us and with each passing day, the grasp that winter has on us loosens. The Snowdrops outside my back door are bravely baring their blossoms to the hints of warmer weather that have coaxed them forth. They have a sense of urgency…
