"There is no beautifier of complexion, or form, or behavior, like the wish to scatter joy and not pain around us. ‘Tis good to give a stranger a meal, or a night’s lodging. ‘Tis better to be hospitable to his good meaning and thought, and give courage to a companion. We must be as courteous to a man as we are to a picture, which we are willing to give the advantage of a good light. ”
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-82), philosopher, poet, essayist

Anna took this portrait of me at our 365 retreat. She managed to smooth out the wrinkles and do some beautifying. Thankyou Anna

"Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses."

Over 40 years into our life together and still counting.
