Thoughts on a chilly morning



Broken glass. . . lifes accidents, they strike without warning.



The term " life accident" was first coined by Gail Sheehy in her book Pathfinders. " To paraphrase John Lennon," says Sheehy, " life accidents are what happen to us while we are making other plans." Somehow I think broken glass....doesn't fit into this description. My belief is glass collections like gardens need to be pruned. While we don't like to part with any glass or to prune in the garden. One way or another it happens. . . I personally prefer voluntary pruning . Be of good cheer. Study your collection, study your lifestyle, plan to gift some glass. Speak kindly, Pray softy, package the glass, go quickly to post office.

One of my favorite Mark Twain quotes has never been truer than it is today. Mark Twain cautioned, "Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great."

Positive people enjoy being around one another and their energy is contagious. These "great" people enjoy sharing in your success and want to network with you. In "The Tipping Point", Malcolm Gladwell calls these people connectors.
Hilary with your always positve outlook you are a "great" person and a people connector.
