{If I had My Life To Live Over} “I’d make more mistakes next time.  I’d relax.  I would limber up.  I would be sillier than I have been on this trip.  I would take fewer things seriously.  I would take more chances.  I would climbe more mountains and swim more rivers.  I would eat more ice cream and less beans.  I would perhaps have more actual troubles, but I’d have fewer imaginary one.” – Nadine Stair

“She walks in beauty, like the night

   Of cloudless climes and starry skies;

And all that’s best of dark and bright

   Meet in her aspect and her eyes.”

Picasso once said, “I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it”.

So keep on learning, and living, and loving and find your true happiness, it is within each of us even when we feel we cannot…
