When I started this blog,

my intentions were to stay on the anonymous side of it all.

I guess I’ve had a change of heart and would like to ask you to excuse my absence. Please stay tuned I’d like to introduce myself properly!

“For Attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair, let a child run their fingers through it once a day.

For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.

People, more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed.

Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms.

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands,

one for helping yourself and the other for helping others.”

“When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, I had only two things on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home.”

“It’s not just money…We’re sophisticated to the point of not feeling anything. Nothing is real with us.”

“So Cherry Valance, the cheerleader, Bob’s girl, the Soc, was trying to help us. No, it wasn’t Cherry the Soc who was helping us, it was Cherry the dreamer who watched sunsets and couldn’t stand fights.”

“The fight for self-preservation had hardened him against caring.”

“I had taken the long way around, but I was finally home. To stay.”

“Stay gold, Ponyboy. Stay gold…”

I’ve fallen in love with dahlias!

Simple and complex at the same time…

Gorgeous!
