I had a wonderful Labor Day weekend, and enjoyed my time with my family and children. We celebrated Zach’s sixth birthday on Sunday with grandparents, cousins, aunts, an uncles. I had a chance to meet up with a friend from a common mailing list in person, and he was very interesting and fun to talk to — can’t wait to do it again, with more people. We went to the park tonight and played while picnicking with a neighbor family. I’m just about to retire for the night and snuggle with my beloved.
Of course, due to all this activity, I had zero blog entries 🙂
“Beauty is the bait which with delight allures man to enlarge his kind.” –Socrates
“The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives.” –Albert Einstein
“Youth is happy because it has the capacity to see Beauty. Anyone who keeps the ability to see Beauty never grows old. –Frank Kafka”
My life is beautiful.

ummm
is that Frank Capra.. or Franz Kafka?
I think…
I think it’s supposed to be Kafka. At least, I cut & pasted it from another site.
However, the Socrates quote, I read the words “enlarge his” and the next word that popped into my mind before “kind” was not that word 🙂 It just goes to show me how invasive e-mail spam is in my life! I think I even have the word “enlarge” in various forms in my spam filters — I hate to think what would happen if a friend wrote me about “enlarging your consciousness” or something…

My two cents worth of quotes on beauty
Cherish your visions; cherish your ideals; cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts, for out of them will grow delightful conditions, all heavenly environment; of these if you but remain true to them, your world will at last be built –James Allen
Anything in any way beautiful derives its beauty from itself and asks nothing beyond itself. Praise is no part of it, for nothing is made worse or better by praise. –Marcus Aurelius
Hope you have a great Day!
