Serious Wednesdays: Negative Stuff?

It's all in the way you look at it!

When the reviews are bad,
I tell my staff
they can join me
as I cry all the way to the bank.
--Liberace


A cynic is a man who,
when he smells the flowers,
looks around for a coffin.
--H.L. Menchen



A critic is a legless man
who teaches running.
--Channing Pollock



There are people who want to be everywhere at once,
and they get nowhere.
--Carl Sandberg



I don't know the key to success,
but the key to failure
is trying to please everybody.
--Bill Cosby


Feel better now?
Don't be negative!

Sunday Morning Peace



It takes awhile to grasp that not all failures are self-imposed,
the result of ignorance, carelessness, or inexperience.

It takes awhile to grasp that a garden isn't a testing ground for character
and to stop asking,

"What did I do wrong?"


Maybe nothing.

--Eleanor Perenyi, Green Thoughts, 1981

I'm Tired, Sleepy, and Don't Feel Good!

At least, that's what my younger brother use to say when he didn't want to do something. I guess one excuse is as good as another, huh? when you know you should have done something, but you didn't, for one reason or the other.

Now, after that long drawn out explanation, I'll tell you what I'm talking about. My failure to blog much last week. Whatever the reason, I didn't get it done. I can blame it on busyness, laziness, or forgetfulness--but that doesn't change the fact.

So--here's hoping this week will be better.

You all stay in touch. I'm easily depressed when I don't hear from you! Laugh. Touche'.
