Read MoreFLOWER QUOTE: YOU’RE ONLY HERE
January 08, 2018
MY TWO CENTS You’re only here for a short visit. Don’t hurry, don’t worry. And be sure to smell the flowers along the way… Lovely to think of a major golf champion having this insight. From the little information I could find, it seems from his autobiography that this was his motto for living. It would be a great motto for all of us to live by, and it seemed to do well by him. ABOUT ...

Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world.

December 18, 2017
MY TWO CENTS Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love… This is one of Hamilton Mabie’s best known quotes, and I can see why.
