This photograph was taken around 2003, give or take a year. This week’s post is more about me than aquariums and fish tanks. The photo below shows the collection of me and friend’s contribution to the teenage tapestry we called The Wall. As you can see this wall is very colorful. Turning thirty on March 16th, I figured this was a great time to reflect on who made this wall art and how it made me who am I today.
My birthday is in two days! FYI, I like red or yellow paint on my Ferrari's!
It was an incredible news last week from around the world. The strongest earthquake in 1,200 years of recorded history hit Japan on Friday. The subsequent tsunami with damaged nuclear plants; whoa! Continued strife in Libya dominated the news. Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker signed legislation that strips the majority of the states workers there collective bargaining rights with a shady, illegal, mid-night, back handed action.
On a light note; progress to cherish life in Illinois is shown this week. I read this article then ran into this quote a few days later. Normally this topic isn’t something I share however the thought is powerful and worth reflecting on. “Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not; and often times we call a man cold when he is only sad.” -Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Buddha said “The tight string breaks and there is no music. The relaxed string doesn't make any sound and the music stops. The focus of life should be how to achieve balance.”
I’ll end with a highlight for International Woman’s Day. This video clip (1m30s) is Tina Fay in last week’s 30 Rock.
Make it a great week!
