The Art of Happiness
Posted on 07:35 by Unknown

I learned that a part of joy is the apparent infinity of it. When you are HAPPY, happiness stretches out ahead of you, its end forever receding even as you suspect that something this good can't last.But it does.It goes on, and you're confounded, you ought to be expecting it to finish, and it doesn't.The something quite giddy gets into you, and then you start to think you need it to go on.And it does, it does.It's one of the things about it.Suddenly,...

There Is A Light
Posted on 07:35 by Unknown
He had been feeling a hot surge of unreasoning jealousy over something that had never happened in actuality, and could never happen.-Nial Kent"The Divided Path"A few months ago I saw a romantic comedy called "500 Days of Summer". There were a few good lines and it was a cute film (even if I did only rate it a 3-STAR movie). What I remember most was a flashback to music by 'The Smiths' that I loved in the 1980's. A song called "There Is A Light That...

"Sometimes the more you go over something, details just pop out of nowhere."-Richard Price"Lush Life"I saw the most horrible movie a month or so ago called "GAMER". I thought it would be good since it starred Gabriel Butler who I loved in "Dear Frankie" and "300". The one good thing was hearing a forgotten tune by Sammy Davis Jr. It's called "I've Got You Under My Skin".Listen. It's GREAT:http://video.yahoo.com/watch/5246025Twenty-five years ago...

Tropical Climates
Posted on 07:35 by Unknown

If the earth were a man with a belt around his middle, the belt would be the equator. Around the equator they have the hottest weather in the world. You can easily see by looking at the globe that Mexico is NOT far north of the equator. It is in the part of the world called the tropics. In the low parts of our country, the seashores and the deep, deep valleys and canyons, we have what is called the tropical weather. We call these parts 'tierras calientes'...
