Wow! The things we learn from our animal friends...
If only all of mankind could learn such valuable lessons as this. Lessons
of instant friendship. Of peace and harmony by way of respect for one
another -- no matter one's color or creed. These animals tell you...
"It's just good to be alive and with others."
Yes, it surely is.
So... Live, love, laugh.
"Life's a Gift... Unwrap It!"

My favorite Blaine-o-ism was every time his dog Reggie came in he held his hands out and said "Reggie, love of my life" or "Reggie, where have you been all my life?" --Trisha
Some People Inherit ... tangible items when their parent dies, I have inherited something more lasting and valuable than money or things.
e but is is fun and reaffirming to greet your family each time you see them with all the love and admiration that sometimes gets left unspoken.
Dear Dad,

Dear Lily,
Knight: English: status name from Middle English knyghte ‘knight’, Old English cniht ‘boy’, ‘youth’, ‘serving lad’. This word was used as a personal name before the Norman Conquest, and the surname may in part reflect a survival of this. It is also possible that in a few cases it represents a survival of the Old English sense into Middle English, as an occupational name for a domestic servant. In most cases, however, it clearly comes from the more exalted sense that the word achieved in the Middle Ages. In the feudal system introduced by the Normans the word was applied at first to a tenant bound to serve his lord as a mounted soldier. Hence it came to denote a man of some substance, since maintaining horses and armor was an expensive business. As feudal obligations became increasingly converted to monetary payments, the term lost its precise significance and came to denote an honorable estate conferred by the king on men of noble birth who had served him well. Knights in this last sense normally belonged to ancient noble families with distinguished family names of their own, so that the surname is more likely to have been applied to a servant in a knightly house or to someone who had played the part of a knight in a pageant or won the title in some contest of skill.Dansie: English (of Norman origin): habitational name, with fused preposition d(e), for someone from Anizy in
Blaine: From a surname meaning "servant of Blaan". Blaan was a Scottish saint. His feast day is August 11th.
Sue and Trish (quote sent by Joe)"A miracle worker is an artist of the soul. There's no higher art than living a good life. An artist informs the world of that's available behind the masks we all wear. That's what we're all here to do. The reason so many of us are obsessed with becoming stars is because we're not yet starring in our own lives. The cosmic spotlight isn't pointed at you; it radiates from within you. I used to feel like I was waiting for someone to discover me, to "produce" me, like Lana Turner at the drugstore. Ultimately I realized that the person I was waiting for was myself. If we wait for the world's permission to shine, we will never receive it. The ego doesn't give that permission. Only God does, and He has already done so. He has sent you here as His personal representative and is asking you to channel His love into the world. Are you waiting for a more important job? There isn't one." - Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles
Me and Ori are loving our home! We have lived here for 2 1/2 years. Ori is now about 8 years old, enjoying her middle-aged time of being lazy and eating ;-) I have caregivers come and take care of me in the morning and night, and a live-in aid that helps me if anything goes wrong overnight. Just starting to have physical and occupational therapy appointments twice a week to help improve my quality of life. I just got a new chair to help me in the shower and a lift to help me get out of bed in the morning. --Aaron
