"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense." -Emerson


"Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing about." -Benjamin Franklin

Alma 26:30 "And we have suffered all manner of afflictions, and all this, that perhaps we might be the means of saving some soul; and we supposed that our joy would be full if perhaps we could be the means of saving some."

Butterflies and My Parents

My parenta are interesting people. They are in many ways packrats. But I think that there is a point at which it is just time to let something go. For example, this butterfly. It fell and died in thier foyer two days ago. It is still there. They won't put it outside to rot and go back to the nature it was intended for, an they won't let me do it either. I will probably still find it there in a week.

  1. ``My parents are interesting people'' - what a great acknowledgement. I hope my kids always say that about my wife and me.

    Thanks for the lovely comment on my photo of the commemorative tree in Perth.
