Castles and Other Things Along the Way

So many castles so little time.

"Many a book is like a key to unknown chambers

within the castle of one's own self."

"Rocks in my path? I keep them all.

With them I shall build my castle."

The old versus new theory is highly overrated,

it's all a matter of perspective.

The ideal happiness has always taken material

form in the house

whether cottage or castle. - 

Simone de Beauvoir

(or mighty sea)

The world is good-natured to people 
who are good-natured.
William Makepeace Thackeray

is to lose yourself in
the service of others.

The touch of love is lit in the kitchen.

Below faces and shadows can you find them?

You want the sweetness of our beginning

without the bitterness of our struggle

what are you asking

do you want light without shadow?

Two very priceless gifts that should be shared often

are the beauty of a sunset 

and the company of a friend.

Castles come in many sizes

it's not their appearance that matters.

Much like everything else in life.

Have you visited the capital in your home lately?

Maybe you should.

and

if you aren't registered to vote, why not?

GET OUT there and make your vote count.

Did you know six skylights were uncovered

 in Minnesota's State Capital

Thank you for your visits,

you matter to me.

Take good care of you.
