Gina's Quotes Du Jour (Wordsworth & McCartney)

The best portion of a good man's life is his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love. - William Wordsworth (1770-1850)

As a daycare provider I eagerly take on the responsibility of teaching children the basics of how to be nice people. Now that the youngest of our little daycare family is two years old, we are focusing more on behavior - and less on diapers (and I am not complaining about that!).

I am currently trying to teach my group of daycare children to choose to do the right thing...cooperation, altruism, the golden rule and all that rot...

One Of My Favorite Words 3/27/08

Today I'm revisiting an old friend...my Favorite Words series. The inspiration to write about today's word came from my Sweetie, Scott's recent post titled, Build Your Own Best Of - Steely Dan. His post is part of his series where he compiles a list of his personal choices for a Best Of collection of a musician's or a band's recordings.

I have definitely noticed this happening as the years go by...especially in fashion. The younger girls think they are the first to look so cool, but I wore virtually the same thing in the '70s...!

Of course it happens in every area... music/arts, science, politics, philosophy/religion...but I automatically think clothes because I am shallow and vapid...

A Picture Speaks A Thousand Words...

...the words just may be absurd! I don't understand. What is up with seeing images of Jesus or Mary in things? It seems to me that God would have better uses of his time than playing some elaborate Where's Waldo game with us...

I came across this list of places Jesus has been spotted recently in an online feature called "News of the Weird." You can find the full article here.

There seems to be a neverending supply of weirdness in the world. I was looking for an alternative to the frustration of mainstream news, but this news doesn't make me feel any better about the fate of humankind...
