to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference
- Reinhold Niebuhr - The Serenity Prayer
For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.
- Vincent van Gogh
There are only two ways to live your life: one is as though nothing is a miracle; the other is as if everything is a miracle. - Albert Einstein (1879-1955)
What is the purpose of life? To be the eyes and ears and conscience of the creator of the universe. - Kurt Vonnegut (1922-2007)
Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea. - Robert A Heinlein
Be a good human being, a warm-hearted affectionate person. That is my fundamental belief. Having a sense of caring, a feeling of compassion will bring happiness of peace of mind to oneself and automatically create a positive atmosphere.
- Dalai Lama (1935)
One swallow does not make a summer, neither does one fine day; similarly one day or brief time of happiness does not make a person entirely happy.
- Aristotle
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. - Martin Luther King
All of mankind's history is basically personal experience written down. - Galaxy Babe (July 2007)
In a puddle of a mind even a minnow of thought makes a great splashing. In the oceanic depth of cosmic consciousness great whales of ideas slide silently by. - kamaelf
I am the loadstone left to prevent the house from blowing away.

Remembrance Sunday
Yesterday

<poppy>
I'm taking Mum to church today to lay her poppy wreath at the Remembrance Service. This time I'll have to stand in line with her, and walk her to the Cenotaph when they call the name of the ladies' branch.

It's always tough seeing the Normandy Veterans, and there will be a lot there today, some of them still march in the parade... but less than last year sadface

grovel thoughts and prayers with my Dad, rose never forgotten, and all those who never came homecry

Sad scenes
4 Days Ago

I've just watched the repatriation of a bomb disposal expert who was killed last week. News of another five soldiers, two of them local to my home town, renders this memorial Sunday even more poignant. All those familes affected, more losses and the mourning perpetuates. Today's ceremony of walking/escorting the coffin through the streets of the lad's home town, we even saw his shocked family when the hearse stopped so they could place single flowers upon the roof of the car. When the newsreader on BBC news invited the war correspondent on afterwards to talk about him, and she also announced the names of the five shot by a "rogue" Afghan policeman on Tuesday, she could barely finish speaking, and I too, was completely welled up. How much longer is this going to go on? What price peace? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8344648.stm

Halloween decorations
Last Week

We've just decorated the front garden ready for the little vampire monster witch visitors as soon as it gets dark. Well, Andrew decorated, I just held the things where he wanted them placed while he fixed them in placelaugh

This year he's decided he's going to crouch behind a (fake) gravestone and when the visitors are choosing their sweets from my bowl he's going to spring out, wearing his 'Scream' mask, a black cape and shaking his scythe, and shout "Look out!" or "I warned you not to come back!"

Maybe I'll take photos pumpkin
