Thoughts

"Three things in human life are important.
The first is to be kind. The second is to be kind.
The third is to be kind."
~~Henry James, to his nephew, William James,
as quoted in Leon Edel's Henry James: A Life

  7. I see the guard dog in the sidebar.

    I also am looking at a ginkgo leaf I think. It has a golden color I would like to have painted on a new scooter which I will never get. LOL.
