Clever sayings and sweet photo! I've often wished I had a passion for that one thing that would have made me successful, but alas, I've leaned towards being a "Jackie of all trades and master of none"! 😉 Do come visit me again! Hope life is treating you well. Bess

Dear Sandra, hope all is well with you. Great tips to live by. I am sorry, been so busy this summer with Art shows. My computer has a problem, can't get the 4 th July post off sidebar, and new post on it? I'll think about it next week.
Take care and sending love and good wishes. yvonne

I love the photo ! So many truisms, well said and worth remembering. 2 involve gates. Fences and gates are very practical and do help maintain friendly relations with neighbors.
Love these "wisdoms"… Can hear you speaking them in my mind!! Remembering your amazing sense of humor..
That photo brings back wonderful, wonderful memories. I love that you've shared it. I'm so behind in blog writing– but my photos will be blogged for sure.
Want to chat…
Love

Always drink upstream. That's my favorite.
Wonderful post — and indeed, as MK said, most are sad but true!
To nearly all those, I say: sad but true.
Stopping in to say "HI" and leaving with some great wisdom!
Happy Beautiful Day to you!

I LOVE this photo, the woman with the blue skirt, her dogs going trusting with her, lonely but in communion with the sky, wonderful later summer-light – the house and the atmosphere…
