Quote of the Day
“The best day of your life is the one
on which you decide your life is your own.
No apologies or excuses.
No one to lean on, rely on, or blame.
The gift is yours – it is an amazing journey
and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.”
~Bob Moawad
Thought of the Day
How often do we allow ourselves to be controlled by others, by public opinion. I imagine this is what it is like to be a politician, a business leader, or a member of the clergy. I am none of these and have little use for public opinion, my thoughts and my actions are my own. more

Thought of the Day
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. I thought that today instead of sharing a thought I would share some pictures. I have taken some beautiful pictures, some of them are mine, some I found in public domain. Each one is a beautiful picture of nature, animals, flowers, and landscapes. To these pictures I have inserted a quote and formatted these to be used as desktop wallpaper. more

“My grandfather once told me
that there are two kinds of people:
those who work and those who take the credit.
He told me to try to be in the first group;
there was less competition there.”

Thought for the Day
For many years I worked in middle management for corporate America. Those of you who are there now know that middle managers; do all the work, make little money, and get none of the credit. I usually had no problem with this because I knew that what I did made a difference, and what I did first and foremost was take care of those who worked for me, then I took care of the customer next, and last I took care of my boss and the company.
Quote of the Day
If fame were based on kindness instead of popularity,
on understanding and not on worldwide attention,
you would be the biggest celebrity on earth.
And to my heart, you already are.
