The Little Things

I’ve got the good fortune of being able to work from home on occasion. Today being one of those days. I’m actually waiting for the super to come and check out my tub that isn’t draining. Anyway, it’s quote day and since I’m home . . . . .

Where we love is home, home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts. ~ Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr

A happy home is one in which each spouse grants the possibility that the other may be right, though neither believes it.” ~ Don Fraser

There’s no place like home. ~ Dorothy Gale

Back to the virtual office!

Just me feeling fortunate again. I am one. I have one… Father.

Dictionary-com says, A man who begets or raises or nurtures a child. Guess that, why it’s a dictionary and not a guide… to anything!

Blessed indeed is the man who hears many gentle voices call him father! - Lydia Maria Child

By the time a man realizes that maybe his father was right, he usually has a son who thinks he’s wrong. ~Charles Wadsworth~

“My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me.” - Jim Valvano

“A truly rich man is one whose children run into his arms when his hands are empty.” - Author Unknown

It’s not picture day, but there are pictures up from dinner Saturday night. You’ll have to go over to the chench.com photo album section to see them.

Comments. For the few of you who actually comment from time to time you may have noticed the subscribe to comments box at the bottom of the comment field. You also may have noticed it never worked. Well, after much messing around with someone else’s plugin code, I think I got it. How it works is after you enter your email address and check the subscribe box for your comment, you should receive all comments after yours. For whoever has time, please test it out and let me know if it works. I’ll comment after each of your comments and you can let me know if you got mine. Get it? Probably not, but try it anyways…for me…please?

What is it like for you to face your fears, or revisit a place with a very bad memory associated with it? That happened to me recently and I’ll tell you, the flood of memories that came back to haunt me wasn’t very pleasant. I remembered smells, sounds, and the fears I had from over a year ago. I didn’t HAVE to go to this place, but did anyway. It was a good thing. It’s the ‘what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger’ situations that should be embraced and dealt with. Don’t forget the past, learn from it. Build on it.

You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do. ~ Elanot Roosevelt
