Yankee girl in Arthur's court

You can't appreciate home till you've left it, money till it's spent, your wife till she's joined a woman's club, nor Old Glory till you see it hanging on a broomstick on the shanty of a consul in a foreign town. O. Henry Porter 1862-1910, American short-story Writer

Pause for thought.....

Some random unrelated quotations to brighten your day...

There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations. Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled. If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money can't buy. "Today is a gift, that's why it is called the present..."

Every mother is like Moses. She does not enter the promised land. She prepares a world she does not see.

I love your shared quotes, Karena. The promised land one very nicely validates the sacrifices and worries and labors and love of motherhood!

Those are great, Karena! Where did they come from? I'm not a mother yet, but the second quote still seems pertinent to those of us responsible for kids, especially when there's not immediate evidence of fruit.
