Mocha Break

Short, decaf, triple shots, mocha syrup, non-fat milk, extra hot, latte!! My fave Starbucks coffee <3

--

Suave molecules of Mocha stir up your blood,  without causing excess heat;  the organ of thought receives from it a feeling of sympathy;  work becomes easier and you will sit down without distress to your principal repast which will restore your body and afford you a calm, delicious night.

Autumn Glimpse

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.
 Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.
The winds will blow their own freshness into you,
and the storms their energy,
while cares will drop off like autumn leaves".
John Muir

"Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting and autumn a mosaic of them all."
Stanley Horowitz

"Autumn arrives in early morning, but spring at the close of a winter day."
 Elizabeth Bowen

"Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns."

I Learned ...

.... never to empty the well of my writing,  but always to stop when there was still something there in the deep part of the well,  and let it refill at night from the springs that fed it.

Thank YOU!

I thank you for the things you have shown me

Thank you for the love of my life
So far any­way, now it’s really really over
O God I really thank you baby
Most of all I thank you for your love
Like good people should do anyway

I thank you
I really thank you
All of my life
I really thank you

My souven­irs I hold them and remem­ber
All the days for the rest of my life
Truth is I miss you in all the ways you will ima­gine
See me, feel me I wanna say

Most of all I thank you for your love
Like good people should do anyway...

Can It Be Too Late?

Can it ever be too late to open your heart, to open your eyes, to allow life's best to come rushing in? Can it ever be too late to do your best, to be your best and to make your dreams come true? Can it ever be too late to give it a try, to give it a whirl, to take your best shot and see where it takes you? Can it ever be too late to show your appreciation, to express your gratitude, or to simply say 'thank you?' Can it ever be too late to savor a sunset, to relax in the woods or treasure the tranquility of the endless heavens above?


"The time for action is now. It's never too late to do something."

愛 ( LOVE )

Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distance continue, a wonderful living side by side can grow, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see the other whole against the sky.

It Should Be Yours

“Everything you want should be yours, the type of work you want... the relationships you need,  the social, mental  and aesthetic stimulation that will make you happy and fulfilled...  the money you require for the lifestyle that is appropriate to you  and any requirement that you may (or may not) have for achievement or service to others. If you don’t aim for it all, you’ll never get it all. To aim for it requires that you know what you want".

Almost Fall... Again!!!

It is almost October.  I love October.  I am not sure why?...
but I just do!!!


**The magic of first love is our ignorance
that it can ever end.**
