Fishing is our handshake, our language. A heritage that binds us together. A passage our fathers took. A journey that lasts a lifetime, that we have begun again with our sons and daughters

What I Am About.....

My best writing is real-life stories about me, my friends and family. As I get older, I do "crazy things" and try to laugh instead of cry about them. Some days I don't know what I'm doing and some days I wish I didn't!

I have been married 40 yrs. to the same wonderful man, have three children, and six grandchildren.

I love words!

  • Learn to get in touch with silence within yourself and know that everything in this life has a purpose. There are no mistakes, no coincidences. All events are blessings given to us to learn from. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross
  • Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness, and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again Og Mandino
  • You don't get to choose how you're going to die, or when. You can only decide how you're going to live.
  • Thank God every morning when you get up that you have something to do which must be done, whether you like it or not. --Charles Kingsley
  • "Some blessings come soon, some come late, and some don’t come until heaven; but for those who embrace the gospel of Jesus Christ, they come."
  • A lie goes half way around the world before the truth can get its pants on!..Winston Churchill
  • Be faithful in the little practices of love which build in you the life of holiness and make you Christlike...Mother Theresa
  • The Lord sends no one away empty except those who are full of themselves. Dwight L. Moody
  • "Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, In all the ways you can, In all the places you can, To all the people you can , as long as ever you can." John Wesley
  • Fishing is our handshake, our language. A heritage that binds us together. A passage our fathers took. A journey that lasts a lifetime, that we have begun again with our sons and daughters.
  • Make every one of your moments count. Relish each day as if there would never be another. When you get the choice to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance.
  • Love doesn't hurt. It feels really good.
  • When you know better, you ought to do better.
  • You have the right to change your mind.
  • Failure is a way we learn that we are moving in the wrong direction, that we should try something different.
  • "Say thank you!" Maya Angelou
  • Happiness is never something you get from other people. The happiness you feel is in direct proportion to the love you give.
  • Always keep several get well cards on the mantle… So if unexpected guests arrive, They will think you’ve been sick and unable to clean. Maxine
  • I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles four things:a rainy day, the elderly, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.
  • If you want to feel rich, count all the things you have that money can't buy.
  • You know you're getting old when..your children look middle aged.
  • You know you're getting old when...You feel like the night after, and you haven't been anywhere.
  • We have flown the air like birds and swum the sea like fishes, but have yet to learn the simple act of walking the earth like brothers.
  • "In this life we cannot do great things. We can only do small things with great love." Mother Theresa
  • Singing can heal the soul.
  • Friends are God's way of taking care of us.
  • "God writes the gospel not in the Bible alone, but also on trees, and in the flowers and clouds and stars" Martin Luther
  • I haven't trusted polls since I read that 62% of women had affairs during their lunch hour. I've never met a woman in my life who would give up lunch for sex.
  • It's frustrating when you know all the answers but nobody bothers to ask you the questions.
  • When you fall down, you wonder what else you can do while you're down there.
  • Grandparenting is good medicine.
  • You can't plough a field by turning it over in your mind.
  • It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade. ~Charles Dickens
  • We need to "practice" giving people a break. If we had any idea what other people are going through in their lives we would not be so judgemental.
  • We must be the change we wish to see. Mahatma Ghandi
  • "You are braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think". Christopher Robin
  • To raise children who go on to be great parents is an accomplishment---That's our Oscar moment in life.
  • Regarding aging: If life is a three-act play, I am chronologically in my third act. Dustin Hoffman
  • Do not forget little kindnesses, and do not remember small faults. Chinese proverb
  • Caffiene is essential.
  • The age of a woman doesn't mean a thing. The best tunes are played on the oldest fiddles. Ralph Waldo Emerson
  • Teach your kids to be kind.
  • An invitation doesn't mean you have to go!
  • "I've been young---I know how miserable it can be". from "Tuesdays with Morrie"
  • I believe most people do the best they can with what they have. Sometimes what may seem right at the moment, isn't in the long run. I think we need to forgive when we can, rise above it, learn something and hopefully do better.
