Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day, you shall begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.

--Ralph Waldo Emerson

What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the winter time.
It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset.

--Crowfoot quote

Don't forget to VOTE today!

Don't forget to vote today, especially if you enjoy Texas State Parks and want to see their continuance. Vote yes for Proposition 4. It will set aside funds to repair, maintain and preserve our great Texas State Parks!

A lone white stallion canters across the wide open plain. He is wild, he is free, he is strong. He holds his head high, proudly. Galloping into the unknown. His stride is confident and unbroken. He knows not where he goes, but he charges ahead valiantly. He has sired his foals, he has had his families. It is time to move on. He is alone, but not lonely. He is propelled ahead by the promise of new adventures to come. The wind rustles through his mane. And the white stallion gallops on...

Happy BD Dad & Happy Anniv (2 yrs) Honey!

Good News!

Well, folks, it's official! I am now the proud owner of my very own (first) business: Macy Art Studio! I'll be pursuing the production of my cat cards (which I put on hold when I accepted a Personal Assistant position a couple of years ago). In addition I will continue with my fine art oil painting, drawing and photography. A website is in the works, along with a lot of other plans for related projects and activities. I will continue with my PA job to make ends meet.

All Souls' Day

'The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!"'
--Jack Kerouac

'To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never, to forget.'
--Arundhati Roy
