/ May 22, 2012What a gorgeous photo! I hope I’m well spent–but there are times I, certainly, feel spent, as well. How about you?
Hugs,

/ May 22, 2012Kathy, nearly everything I post resonates first with me! When I ran across this quote it helped me examine the way I spend my time. It reminds me to simplify. I easily admit my own struggles and this quote is a strong reminder for me.
As always, thanks for your thoughtful comments.
Peace,
Alexandria

/ September 21, 2012This post reminds me of time. How much time I spend doing things that are meaningless. For example: when I am near death, will I think of how many movies I have watched?
Wonderful and thought provoking article, and as always with photos that make me smile.

/ September 23, 2012I ask myself the same question, Liz, which is why I posted this. It spoke strongly to me.
