Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

"Those who are free of resentful thoughts surely find peace."
"Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without."
"You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger."
"Teach this triple truth to all: A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew
humanity."

I'm cleaning house to loud music and checking in here as I bustle about.
WW Loves YOU.....
and misses your physical presence. When is next good "visiting" weekends - I am jammed for the next three - Prep for school carnival next Sunday AM , ( I could come up Friday afternoon or even Saturday Afternoon and spend Saturday with you if you aren't working and Paulie wouldn't mind and head home either late Sat or early Sunday - I gotta be at the school campus by 10AM...)
School carnival the following weekend Sat & Sun and then off to Iowa on the 21st - I am "hired" to take pictures at the 50th wedding anniversary of Abbey T's folks on the 26th - can you imagine - LOL - and they know ZIP ZERO DE NADA about how we met and all that but her Mom and Aunts met me in LV and her Mom took a shine so I'm invited. Wow... And I am gonna get to visit No More Mething for 2 nights first and she has Mamma D coming in to meet me and then Lisa and I will head down to Des Moines where I have a hotel room and Abbey T will come for a girls nite... Dang the only thing better would be to have you along for the whole darn thing.
xoxoxoxox After that I is free until ummmmmmm November - I may go to Dallas to meet up with my sponsor - she has been invited to fly in and speak at a meeting there so I may go and meet her for a weekend. She turns 21 Nov 1 and I turn 18 Nov 4 (God willing- I actually think that should be - if I am willing to do God's will but you get it....)
Anywho - let me know what your busy schedule looks like.
Sending you hugs and love - Bodie goes for shots Tuesday to start the ball rolling to get her spayed. She is still a hoot - not very big yet and for that we are happy as she is such a cute little might mite. I am torn about the house cat outdoor cat thing - thinking house cat is best for her but then she sits and looks out the slider all the time and i wish I could let her prowl around out there - just worry about her coming home safe and sound. - Why a cat seems so much harder to me than a dog I'll never know. I sure miss Bubba and Dixie and Daisy and of course the little man and his "tahmaytahs" tell that pretty bird kisses from me and the girls.
We is sooooooooooo proud of you Donna and we love you sooooooooooo much.
