TRUE LOVE

Bonjour.  Comment allez-vous?  
(Hi, How are you?) 

Well, I'm in Paris 
and it is even more of a romantic place 
than I could have ever imagined.  
Not much time to blog right now but 
I will leave you all with some more special quotes to share, 
for now.  If you like any of these, I'd love to hear from you.  

Don't be shy, say hi.
Hope to have some lovely photos to post when I return...
Au revoir, Cate

A MOTHER'S LOVE

Happy Mama's Day

"If there ever comes a day
when we can't be together,
keep me in your heart.
I'll stay there forever."
{A.A. Milne - Winnie The Pooh}


"A mother's love for her child

is like nothing else

in the world.

It knows no law,

no pity,

it dares ALL things

and crushes down

remorselessly all that stands

in its path."

{Agatha Christie}

THINKING THOUGHTS: VITAMINS FOR MY SMILE

I collect inspirational quotes.  

I've done this since, oh, as long as I can remember.

I stash them in pretty journals, 

or on scraps of paper in my wallet and pocket and camera bag.

Like vitamins for my peace of mind, 

they find me and nourish me just when I need their words the most.

This morning I thought I'd share a few on my blog,  

just incase a reader or two likes them too.  

Thanks for stopping by to visit me.  Cate

"Wherever you are,

Whatever you're doing,

Choose thoughts

That knit your heart

Together,

Rather than

Tear it apart."

{Martha Beck}

"To become learned,

Each day add something.

To become enlightened,

Each day let go of something."

{Lao Tzu}

SPRINGTIME IN PARIS

BLOSSOMS IN BLOOM

In a few short days I will board a plane for Paris.

1 week in France.

1 week in Italy.

Somebody pinch me!

I made this photo in my front yard this past weekend.

Spring has sprung and the blossoms are in full bloom here.

Imagination vs. Knowledge

I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination.

Imagination is more important than knowledge.
