A New Beginning

Well, here I go, I'm off and running! My New Year's resolution was to force myself to take time to write. I promised myself I would revisit the blogosphere - as a blogger, not a blog stalker - before January 2010 slipped away. Seems I've made good on my promise just in the nick of time. I'm looking forward to this new beginning and I hope, when time allows, to share my thoughts, impressions, opinions - little snapshots of my life - in this space where readers will delight in coming back to visit often. Until next time ...

"It is Jesus that you seek when you dream of happiness; He is waiting for you when nothing else you find satisfies you; He is the beauty to which you are so attracted; it is He who provoked you with that thirst for fullness that will not let you settle for compromise; it is He who urges you to shed the masks of a false life; it is He who reads in your hearts your most genuine choices, the choices that others try to stifle.

It is Jesus who stirs in you the desire to do something great with your lives, the will to follow an ideal, the refusal to allow yourselves to be ground down by mediocrity, the courage to commit yourselves humbly and patiently to improving yourselves and society, making the world more human and more fraternal." ~ Saint Pope John Paul, the Great

“One writes not to be read but to breathe...one writes to think, to pray, to analyze. One writes to clear one's mind, to dissipate one's fears, to face one's doubts, to look at one's mistakes--in order to retrieve them. One writes to capture and crystallize one's joy, but also to disperse one's gloom. Like prayer--you go to it in sorrow more than joy, for help, a road back to 'grace'.”
― Anne Morrow Lindbergh, War Within & Without: Diaries And Letters Of Anne Morrow Lindbergh, 1939-1944
