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

In general, our family is more into people-powered outdoor recreation than motorized, but my sister Danielle & I received a tiny snowmachine as a Christmas gift in 1976 and somehow, coming from a family with almost no keepsakes, that Kitty Cat is still around & running.  All the boys love it:

I've been waiting for a blog update. The Sauna looks fabulous and love the butt photo! I tried out the sauna at the gym today -- first time ever and doesn't compare to a homemade one in the woods. Snowmobiling looks fun. I've never tried it.

Happy 2012.

The snow looks beautiful. Mark, the sauna looks great. I think you will be using it a great deal. Si, did you roll in the snow after the sauna??? Sure would like a ride on the little snowmobile with Levi driving. Have fun in the snow!
