Faces of the Sea


Once upon a midnight blue
I sailed a sea of green
A more gorgeous sunrise
My eyes have never seen

Once upon a night so dark
The sea now ebony
And that perfect sunrise
Is just a memory

I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.
- Confucious

We are distracted and things heard are easily forgotten.  Things seen are filed away like snapshots.  Things done are learned, understood and remembered.

All About 60 (in 55 words)

Image Source:  Herkie
There are 60 months in 5 years.
There are 60 inches in 5 feet.
There are 60 minutes in an hour.
There are 60 seconds in a minute.
60 years - known as the diamond wedding anniversary.
A mile is 5,280 feet and is divisible by 60.
60 years is also known as three score.
Zero to 60 is an automotive standard of performance.
Gone in 60 seconds.

Had a wife who was a cheater
He caught her in a big fat lie
And baked her in a pumpkin pie

Quote of the Week

Visualize this thing you want. See it, feel it, believe in it. Make your mental blueprint and begin. 
- Robert Collier


You may tell yourself, "I can't do that".  You see many times we are our own biggest road block. What if no one likes my work?  Does it matter?  Who are you really trying to please? Answer these questions and then do what makes you happy!
