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

Seven

March 3 2013 024

Levi's 7th birthday started with some of his very favorite things, lots of legos and blueberry pancakes with syrup.  Levi is stretching out his birthday into a long celebration.  He opened his new snowboard two days early, rode it on his birthday eve at Mt. Abram and spent his big day at camp.  A big post-birthday trip to Boston is scheduled for the end of the month.

He dreamed up and decorated his own cake - chocolate with chocolate frosting, decorated with M&M's and NewmanO's cookies, served with mint chocolate chip, vanilla AND chocolate ice cream!  His birthday was spent building legos, eating cake, playing games, snowboarding on the new front yard terrain park, tapping some maple trees, taking a sauna and watching a special movie.  He said it was a pretty good day.
