Quotes

Actual happiness looks pretty squalid in comparison with the overcompensations for misery. And, of course, stability isn’t nearly so spectacular as instability. And being contented has none of the glamour of a good fight against misfortune, none of the picturesqueness of a struggle with temptation, or a fatal overthrow by passion or doubt. Happiness is never grand. - Aldous Huxley, Brave New World
Education
"Must we always teach our children with books? Let them look at the stars and the mountains above. Let them look at the waters and the trees and flowers on Earth. Then they will begin to think, and to think is the beginning of a real education." -David Polis
"Above all, do not lose your desire to walk: every day I walk myself into a state of well-being and walk away from every illness; I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it... but by sitting still, and the more one sits still, the closer one becomes to feeling ill... Thus if one just keeps walking, everything will be all right." -Soren Kierckgaard
Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower. - Albert Camus
How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives. Annie Dillard

Cookie Monsters

This morning while I was talking on the phone, Silas was hiding behind a living room chair. When he came out of hiding, I noticed his lips were covered in chocolate, an unmistakable Newmans-O smile. At first he tried to deny that he had raided Papa's special stash of cookies, but when Levi heard the cookie word, he went nuts, so Silas helped his little brother get a snack, too.

Silas scaled the lazy susan and climbed up on the counter top to reach the hidden bag.

Silas had to make several trips back up to the cookies, because Tiny really only likes the creme filling inside & therefore had to eat a lot of them to fill himself up.
