"I think we can't go around measuring our goodness by what we don't do -- by what we deny ourselves, what we resist and who we exclude. I think we've got to measure goodness by what we embrace, what we create and who we include."

--Pere Henri, "Chocolat"

Sincerity "The most exhausting thing in life, I have discovered, is being insincere." -Anne Morrow Lindbergh, 1955

Being sincere is being true to yourself. It is hard work being anything less. It takes a lot more mind games and that can be exhausting. What a terrible waste of energy! Being sincere is being genuine, authentic - and that is the more comfortable way to go. -Lissa Coffey

“I believe all joy is an extension of gratitude. If we can find something to be thankful for, no matter what’s going on, no matter how small, we can grasp the coattails of joy.” —Xian Horn

‎'Twas Thanksgiving Night and all through the house
Diva brought in decorations (Cuz she had no spouse!).

The creatures were hiding all under the bed
lest Mommy drop Santas right onto their heads!

And I in my garage and finding it all,
settled in for an evening of decking the Halls! ;-)

When what to my wandering eyes did appear?
A big red full box I thought I'd lost last year!

With goodies and glitter and all things that shone,
I brought them all into my sweet~scented home!

Now Angels! Now Spangles! Now garlands and feathers!
On stars and on snowflakes, let's make it much better!

With box wine in hand, I stood up and admired
a cute little Ricky climbing higher and higher!

He was chubby and plump, a right sneaky fat cat
And I laughed as I reached for the water ~ "You! SCAT!"

I gathered the totes, lighter now than before,
And squealed, "MERRY CHRISTMAS!" as I slammed the back door!

~Diva

“Perhaps it's true that things can change in a day. That a few dozen hours can affect the outcome of whole lifetimes. And that when they do, those few dozen hours, like the salvaged remains of a burned house---the charred clock, the singed photograph, the scorched furniture---must be resurrected from the ruins and examined. Preserved. Accounted for. Little events, ordinary things, smashed and reconstitutred. Imbued with new meaning. Suddenly they become the bleached bones of a story.”

― Arundhati Roy, The God of Small Things
