I would like a lifetime spent with an irrational and suspicious goddess; some short-tempered jealousy on the side, and a bottle of wine that tastes like you, a glass that’s never empty.

I love this. :) Put a huge smile on my face. absolute-best-posts: cruisingthesites An old Italian gentleman lived alone in New  Jersey .  He wanted to plant his annual tomato garden, but it was very difficult work, as the ground was hard.  His only son, Vincent, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament:   Dear Vincent,  I am feeling pretty sad because it looks like I won’t be able to plant my tomato garden this year. I’m just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. I know if you were here my troubles would be over. I know you would be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the old days.  Love,  Papa   A few days later he received a letter from his son.  Dear Papa,   Don’t dig up that garden. That’ s where the bodies are buried.  Love,  Vinnie At 4 a.m. The next morning, FBI agents and local police arrived and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left.  That same day the old man received another letter from his son.   Dear Papa,  Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now.  That’s the best I could do under the circumstances.  Love you, Vinnie Click to follow this blog, you will be so glad you did!

“
But love, I’ve come to understand, is more than three words mumbled before bedtime. Love is sustained by action, a pattern of devotion in the things we do for each other every day.

Beautiful People

“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”
- Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

» Halcyon: What's Your Excuse for Not Achieving Your Goals?

quina:

ex•cuse
n. ik-skyoos
An explanation offered as a reason for being excused; a plea offered in extenuation of a fault or for release from an obligation, promise, etc.

  1. I don’t have enough money.

  2. It’s too hard to find an audience.
  3. I don’t have enough time.
  4. I don’t have the talent.
  5. I started blogging too late.
  6. I don’t have a quiet place to work.
  7. I’m tired.
  8. Nobody will hire me.

Really?

  1. Leo Tolstoy wrote War and Peace while living in a small house with his wife and 13 children.
  2. Greta Garbo held steady through seven months of hardball silence after negotiating a new (fair) contract with Louis B. Mayer. Mayer eventually caved and she got her price.
  3. Walt Disney was a failed, bankrupt, small-time ad man before that whole mouse thing happened.
  4. J.K. Rowling was on the dole. Her first Harry Potter book was rejected by twelve publishers. It was eventually purchased by the relatively small Bloomsbury in London, and that only because the CEO’s daughter begged him to print it.
  5. Mark Twain sunk $300,000 of his own money (and much of his wife’s) into a typesetting machine that was eventually, brutally, made obsolete.
  6. e.e. cumming’s first book of poetry was rejected by fifteen publishers. He self-published it, dedicated it to the fifteen rejectors, and became one of America’s greatest poets.
  7. Crippled by depression, self-doubt, and living in a cruelly sexist era, Mary Anne Evans changed her identity to George Eliot and became one of the most beloved English novelists of all time.
  8. Abraham Lincoln lost multiple jobs, went bankrupt, and failed in numerous bids for public office before being sworn in as the 16th President of the United States.
  9. Georges Simenon completed each of his legendary Maigret detective novels in an undisturbed, 11-day sprint.
  10. Isaac Asimov wrote or edited more than 500 books in his lifetime. Oh, and that’s in addition to being a professor of biochemistry at Boston University.

So you’re going to let your excuses stop you? Really?
