To My Idealistic Sister

Ideals do not determine what we do to make a living in life; they govern what we become as we do it.
—  Joan Chittister
[Happy Birthday, Sis!!   You inspire us by always remaining true to your ideals.  —  KMAB]

Don’t Sink Now

The temptation comes to many, early or late, to sink into the attitude of regarding life as a little thing.  Some become cynics.  Some become wholly callous.  Some cease existing themselves.  Others lapse into habits they formerly would have condemned.  This temptation to degenerate into looking upon life as a matter of little moments must be fought and overcome.  Perhaps the most effective safeguard against drifting into this deadly mental state is to associate freely with children and other young people.  Our life can become big only when we look upon living as something affecting not only ourselves.
—  B. C. Forbes
[Happy Birthday, Sis!  No wonder you’ve stayed so young!  Too bad, retirement is just around the corner…  Love, Kevin]

A Burning Passion To Teach Freedom

Some books leave us free and some books make us free.
–  Ralph Waldo Emerson
There are worse crimes than burning books.  One of them is not reading them.
–  Joseph Brodsky
[Another is not considering what you’ve just read…
My sister has been a teacher for over thirty years and she still loves teaching.  And, yes, she is still passing me books to read.
Happy Birthday to my big sister, Carmen!  Hopefully, there will be many more birthdays (and lessons to help me grow) to come…  Love  ya —  KMAB]

Before Debit (And Credit) Cards

Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination.
–   Oscar Wilde
[When we were much younger my sister used to wear a T-Shirt which said: “What do you mean I’m out of money?  I’ve still got checks left…?”
Happy Birthday to my sister, Carmen!  Hopefully, there will be many more to come…   Love, Kevin  —  KMAB]

Herding Cats

You’ve got to think about big things while you’re doing small things, so that all the small things go in the right direction.
