Reposted Thought for the Day May 5 2009

This billboard was seen on a Montana highway, where for a few years in the recent past we didn’t have a speed limit (now we do).   I posted this back when I started my blog.  It reminds me to slow down in a busy day or week. 

I’m posting it again because: 

1.  I’m pooped out, editing a long document from that business meeting last week. 

2.  I only had a few followers when I first posted it.

3. This post was one that I lost on the Darkest Day in My Blogging Life.  See the note at the very bottom right hand corner of my blog so it doesn’t happen to you!! 

4.  Lastly, people liked this post!  I hope you do, too.

Seen on Montana highway. How much scenery there is when we slow down enough to see it. Happy Tuesday!

Thought for the Day January 31, 2009

"I don't know exactly what a prayer is.
I do know how to pay attention,
how to fall downinto the grass,
how to kneel down in the grass,
how to be idle and blessed,
how to stroll through the fields,
which is what I have been doing all day.
Tell me, what else should I have done?
Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon?
Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?"

Mary Oliver, from "The Summer Day"

"To be nobody but myself, in a world which is doing its best night and day to make me everybody else, means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight and never stop fighting."
