Words of Wisdom

Gratitude is the inward feeling of kindness received. Thankfulness is the natural impulse to express that feeling. Thanksgiving is the following of that impulse.

~Henry Van Dyke

Changes Coming

I am in the process of adding more variety to my posts. I have added poetry, vocabulary, and announcements thus far. I have plans for a biography page, possibly adding youtube of poetry reading and story telling, and more places to go to if you can't get enough of the arts.

I will add more events such as movies, festivals, documentaries, plays, etc. It's an interesting time for me but I want to make it interesting for all.

Words Of Wisdom

All successful people men and women are big dreamers. They imagine what their future could be, ideal in every respect, and then they work every day toward their distant vision, that goal or purpose.
