"Remember: Always let your conscience be your guide."

“If you were all alone in the universe with no one to talk to, no one with which to share the beauty of the stars, to laugh with, to touch, what would be your purpose in life? It is other life, it is love, which gives your life meaning. This is harmony. We must discover the joy of each other, the joy of challenge, the joy of growth.”
- Mitsugi Saotome (b. 1937), Aikido instructor, author

Drink sangria in the park

Just a perfect day
Feed animals in the zoo
Then later a movie too, and then home"

What is your perfect day - journal
"There's nothing you can do that can't be done.
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung.
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game
It's easy.
There's nothing you can make that can't be made.
No one you can save that can't be saved.
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be in time
It's easy.
All you need is love, all you need is love,"
Beatles

One of these mornings
You're going to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky"

God gave you style and gave you grace
And put a smile upon your face"

Need a little time to rest your mind
