  • Warning   "When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
    With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
    And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
    And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.
    I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired

    To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;

    To appreciate beauty,
    To find the best in others,
    To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condi...

    AND THEN IT IS WINTER - the winter of your life
    ". . . time has a way of moving quickly and catching you unaware of the passing years.    It seems just yesterday that I was young... just married and embarking on my new life.
    Yet in a way, it seems like eons ago, and I wonder where all the years went.    I know that I lived them all.    I have glimpse...

    ALL I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT LIFE I LEARNED FROM MY CAT (calendar 1997, portal publications ltd.)
    Animals trained by Animal Arts, Sebastopol, Ca
    When life gets too hectic, take time to vegetate.
    Enjoy the fruits of your labors.
    Be kind to those at the bottom of the food chain.
    Feeling pressure to constantly produce can turn you into a vegetable.
    Remain aloof when they dangle those carrots in front of...

    "You are only going to be as good as the people you surround yourself with,
    so be BRAVE enough to let go of those who keep weighing you down."
    "In the end, we only regret the chances we didn't take,
    relationships we are afraid to have,
    and the decisions we waited too long to make."
    "An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast,
    a wild beast may wound your body, but an evi...
