It is a Good Thing to take the time to reflect on what makes Life enjoyable. At this time of the year I take time to say to all my friends here at JJB, and especially M9, that you are one of the reasons I smile. So "Thank You"!
I wish everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving with their friends and families and want... -

They say you can't go home again, so I guess that is perhaps the reason JKR threatened to kill off Harry; why Lara Croft may never look like Angelina again and perhaps why Fox committed suicide. We don't want to be type cast or pigeonholed and after a significant amount of time has transpired we simply cannot pick up the reins again:...
Groovy quotes
The Gestalt Prayer
I do my thing
and you do your thing.
I am not in this world
to live up to your expectations
And you are not in this world
to live up to mine.
You are you and I am I.
And if by chance
we find each other, it's beautiful,
If not, it can't be helped.
(and it was not meant to be!)Fritz Perls (1893-1970)
Sometimes
Sometimes things don't go, after all,
from bad to worse.
Some years muscatel faces down frost;
green
thrives; the crops don't fail,
sometimes
a man aims
high, and all goes well.
A people sometimes will step back from
war; elect an honest man; decide
they
care enough, that they can't
leave some
stranger poor. Some men become
what
they are
born for.
Sheenagh Pugh
Desiderata
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 vexations 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 not this 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.
--- Max Ehrmann, 1927
