Thursday Thoughts

If people let government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny.

~Thomas Jefferson

Want to know what's happening with our food? Watch Farmageddon. You won't regret it. And if it helps us to buy local, support our own communities, and treat our world better, then it's all good.

Because one person can make a difference.

Weekends are way too short!

Who's with me?

St Patrick's Day

For those who are Irish in America and celebrate it with green beer and partying, and for those in Ireland who take a more somber approach.

Irish Blessings:

May St. Patrick guard you wherever you go,
and guide you in whatever you do--
and may his loving protection be a blessing to you always.


May the Irish hills caress you.
May her lakes and rivers bless you.
May the luck of the Irish enfold you.
May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.


May the saint protect ye-
An' sorrow neglect ye,
An' bad luck to the one
That doesn't respect ye
t' all that belong to ye,
An long life t' yer honor-
That's the end of my song t' ye!


May your blessings outnumber
The Shamrocks that grow.
And may trouble avoid you
Wherever you go.

Valentine's Day quote

Happy Valentine's Day! So what are you doing? Not necessarily for a loved one, but for whomever? Single gals like to be thought of, too. ;)

Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep... wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you' re just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have YOU... The one who turns to his friends and says, thats
her...

~Unknown

Thanks to As A Man Thinketh

Aren't romances great? Yeah...

Love Birds, thus far my only Valentine's Day story. Are holiday stories still really popular? I mean I like to read them but do others?

Quote of the Day

It's so easy, To think about Love, To Talk about Love, To wish for Love, But it's not always easy, To recognize Love, Even when we hold it . in our hands.
