And I figure with the pace things change online a four year old blog is actually twenty-five years old in blog years. I think people were still using My Space when I started this.

“...if we run toward our fears, they lose their power and ultimately disappear"

"I think this is one of the giant lessons in adapting to age without losing your mind: we must let go of what was and begin accepting what is"

"'fate loves the fearless.' There is no better time to be fearless than in your fifties; if you really put your mind and your energy into it, you can make amazing things happen.”
Tracey Jackson, Between a Rock and a Hot Place: Why Fifty Is Not the New Thirty

“Arrange whatever pieces come your way.”
Virginia Woolf

“Since [narcissists] deep down, feel themselves to be faultless, it is inevitable that when they are in conflict with the world they will invariably perceive the conflict as the world's fault.

They never think of themselves as evil, on the other hand, they consequently see much evil in others.”
M. Scott Peck

“We often need to lose sight of our priorities in order to see them.”
John Irving, Trying to Save Piggy Sneed
