Wednesday’s words of wisdom:




The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place, and I don´t care how tough you are – it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently, if you let it. You, me, or nobody, is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit, it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward, how much you can take, and keep moving forward. That´s how winning is done. Now, if you know what you’re worth, then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain´t what you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain´t you! You´re better than that!
It ain’t over ‘til it’s over!

– Sylvester Stallone, Rocky Balboa (2010).

Solar Eclipse / Monday, August 21, 2017:




My wife and I took time out from work this afternoon, sat out back of the house, and made our own sun viewer out of a Triscuit box.
We only got a partial eclipse, but it was still neat to see the light change for that couple of minutes.
We burned sage, meditated, gave thanks for all we are blessed with, exchanged affirmations, expressed our love for each other, and wished happiness, good health, peace and prosperity to everyone.
