No Fooling

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts. -Bertrand Russell

Quote of the Week

We are each gifted in a unique and important way. It is our privilege and our adventure to discover our own special light.  - Evelyn Dunbar

We are who we are supposed to be. The adventure is figuring out what makes us who we are. This isn't a one-time thing, though. As we grow and change, we learn more about ourselves and our gifts and talents. Be who you are and let your light shine.

This One's For Rosie!

This is an excerpt from an email I received last week from Jenny at PartyPail.com.  

Dear Linda,

My name is Jenny Franklin. I work with PartyPail.com; my job is to search blogs such as yours for individuals who put a great deal of effort into making birthdays extra special.

I am writing you because of your post on Rosie's 16th birthday party. If anyone deserves a birthday party, it certainly is a cat that's lived 16 years! On behalf of PartyPail.com I would like to award you the "Best Decorations" badge. Little Rosie is so adorable!

Thank you, Jenny. I was surprised and pleased to have Rosie's party post selected. Of course, I accept this award in memory of Rosie, after all it was his party.
