Happy New Year — 2018!

I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.
―    Jorge Luis Borges
Do not be afraid to fail.  Be afraid to accept that who you are right now is all you are going to be.
―    John Bingham
From his book:  “Running for Mortals: A Commonsense Plan for Changing Your Life With Running“
We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.
―    Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
From his novel:  “Mother Night“
I am nothing special, of this I am sure.  I am a common man with common thoughts and I’ve led a common life.  There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I’ve loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough…
―    Nicholas Sparks
From his novel:  “The Notebook“
[Happy New Year’s Day to all!  The years are beginning to run together (pun intended).  This year, my resolutions are (in addition to yesterday’s post) to read more books and to try to be more consistent in my working out so I can (hopefully) grow my mind as I shed my waist.    —    kmab]

Awakening

The best love is the kind that awakens the soul;  that makes us reach for more, that plants the fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds.  That’s what I hope to give you forever.
