Scattered Fortunes

Chinese fortunes found around the house yet again.
Music is the soul of language

Enthusiasm is contagious. Not having enthusiasm is also contagious.

Emotion hinders your true self.

Life is about making some things happen, not waiting for something to happen.

It is sometimes better to travel hopefully than to arrive.

Express yourself now

Enjoy your good company, they are true friends.

Where there is a will, there is a way

Hug's are life's rainbows.

Sometimes I wonder if we are eating out to Chinese a bit much.

A Touch of Reality


A shoeless child - not by choice - simply does not have any



The sandwich and orange may have been her most substantial meal that day



Cleaning her "front yard"



Home sweet home



Their day job.

I went on a tour of some of the hidden parts of life in Mexico. A simple drive through the unseen parts of town. Homes that were made from whatever materials people could find placed on land they hoped not to be evicted from. Children awaiting their parents return from the garbage dump where they hoped to have found enough salvaged materials to sell to afford food for a meal. It truly was a wake up call.
