from Address To The Ocean

**nothing to learn from this entry.  just a quote that I like**

O, lovely in repose!  thy summer form
Is beautiful, and when thy silver waves
Make music in earth's dark and winding cave,
I love to wander on thy pebbled beach,
Marking the sunlight at the evening hour,
And hearken to the thoughts thy waters teach, ---
Eternity--Eternity--and Power.

quote by Mary Pickford

You may have a fresh start

any moment you choose, for this thing

that we call "failure" is not the falling down,

but the staying down.    

quote by Wanda Fulton

John at By the Way asks us what are favorite birthday present was.  I think this quote best answers that question.

 

What is the best gift you ever received?

Better still, what is the best gift you ever gave?
Perhaps you will recall that in each instance,
the best gift was one that was tied
with the heartstrings of the giver,
one that included a part of self.

quote by Stephen Jay Gould

The center
of human nature
is rooted
in ten thousand
ordinary
acts of kindness
that define
our days.

quote by Jerome K Jerome

A new life begins for us with
every second.
Let us go forward joyously to meet it.
We must press on, whether we
will or no,
and we shall walk better with
our eyes before us
than with them ever cast behind.

You have to have faith that there is a reason you go through certain things.  I can't say I am glad to go through pain, but in a way one must, in order to gain courage and really feel joy.

Sharing

In this entry I just wanted to share some beautiful artwork.  I think you will enjoy it as much, if not more that any quote I could put here. Check out the artist site and see the painting the way it should be seen.

The title is "A Place To Begin"
