They seem to be more common than uncommon, in fact they seem to be everywhere…

More than just cats and dogs, or fat and skinny…

More than just curious, it seems somehow strangely tolerant and accepting.

Gord wrote, ” He said, ‘Bring on a brand new renaissance… cause I think I’m ready.’ ”

Lisa said to her father after he offered her something from the barbecue. “Do you have anything there that hasn’t been brutally murdered?”

Homer answered “I think the veal died of loneliness.”

I’m just guessing Leonardo had a sense of humor.

My 7 year old was complaining about being sick and not everyone was believing her.

I picked her up for lunch and told her the story about the boy who cried Wolf!

She said, “Why would a little boy have the job of looking after sheep at night?”

Toche`my Love…

When I was a kid in the 1960s, the farmers could be heard lamenting about a changing world that they feared.

Beautiful stone cobbled streets of small towns were replaced with “The Shopping Mall Generation!” AND cities grew. “Who would grow the food?” The farmers asked.

But did anyone see this coming down the pike? A generation so smart that they make money while they sleep?

A generation who became so important that not having children became for them, the best option. Which is probably the best thing since we can no longer determine genders…

I am not afraid. I am not in control. I am embarrassed… or am I entertained?

When you don’t have money the problem is eating.

When you have money the problem is relationships.

When you have both food and love; the problem is health.

No matter where you are, rich or poor…

It’s easy to focus on problems.

Reading books triggers me… and every now and then a book rocks my world in unexpected ways!

Many Lives, Many Masters is doing this now. Before that, The Power of Myth… Before that, Proverbs.

Not just to the information in the book, but dormant memories of something long forgotten or experienced and lost in that quagmire of time.

This is my pathway to riches.

What other pathways am I missing??For you can fill libraries with what I don’t know.

Bug’s said to Daffy, ” Focus on somebody for 2 minutes.”And Bug’s could tell Daffy was thinking about himself… so Bug’s added.” Think about somebody besides yourself for more than 2 minutes. “Daffy said, “That sounds awful… but I’ll do it!

The bad luck raised suspicions, on a path that was beat down.

No one dared to look within or see the wise men in the town.

It was happening for eons, as long as Grandad could recall.

Like a dark foreboding plank walk or a dream in which you fall.

Until the child spoke her words that, “Maybe somethings wrong with me?”

So we made a meeting with the Doc, down at the Family Psychiatry.

The doctor raised awareness and we all took a look.

Things are looking so good now, might take Grandma off the hook.

Now life is far from perfect however the family’s not so sad.

Looking in the mirror, not blaming blind luck, good or bad.
