WORDS & SIGNAGE

Words should be used as tools of communication and not as a substitute for action.

I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much. ~Mother Teresa (Be careful what you wish for.)

What's in a name? Please don't call me ChristinA.  My name is ChristinE.  If I was a boy, my parents would've named me Christopher.  My brother now proudly holds that name.

Not "act" like kids.  But to "remember" being kids.  Big difference.

That's why I don't skate.  I've fallen and been bruised way too many times in my life.  I leave the skating to the young and invincible. Like this boy who charges through the Union Square ice rink.

Oh how I wish I could take daily naps.  Sigh...

Coffee.  Garden.  Coffee.  Does a good morning need anything else?  ~Betsy Cañas Garmon (Je t'agree, no?)

I'd stop drinking coffee, but I'm no quitter.  ~Author Unknown

Use it up.  Wear it out. Make it do. Do without. ~WWII rationing effort

You are not only responsible for what you say, but also for what you do not say. ~Martin Luther

Translation: 7 years with 2 kids in 1999 (engraved inside my wedding ring in Kona, Hawaii, attending hubby's grueling outrigger canoe race)

Do I love you because you're beautiful, or are you beautiful because I love you? ~Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II (Cinderella)

Letters are among the most significant memorial a person can leave behind them. ~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 
(Mother's Day letters are one of my cherished possessions.)

Need I "say" more?

Here's wishing you ALL a GLORIOUS 2010!
