A few of my favorite Steve Jobs quotes.

“Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren’t used to an environment where excellence is expected.”

“I’m as proud of what we don’t do as I am of what we do.” – Businessweek

“Quality is more important than quantity. One home run is much better than two doubles.” – Businessweek

and last but not least…

“Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes… the ones who see things differently — they’re not fond of rules… You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things… they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.” – Think Different, narrated by Steve Jobs

You WILL be missed. RIP.

To the brave men and women that saved or helped another, to those who have worked, and those that continue to work so tirelessly to keep us safe and free, thank you and may God bless you.

To those that died, we will never forget.

Our hearts are heavy.  These are some of the flags, belonging to my neighbors, flying in remembrance today.

I hope and pray that some day we will have peace on earth.

snow much fun!

Hi and welcome to my new blog!

I’m sure you’ve heard the line, “I’m as ready as I’ll ever be.”  Well, I think that describes me and my new blog pretty well.  Ever have trouble starting…venturing out?  You know with me, it seems I have to finish before I start.  I have to think everything through, then rethink it, then tweak and tidy it, then shelve it for a while, then come back and tweak it some more.  Problem is, whatever “it” is, it’s never really finished.  Sometimes I’m done, but not finished.  I’m done because I’ve made myself crazy and I’m over that and onto the next, but I never really finished.

I’m pretty sure it comes from fear.  Fear of “it” not being quite right, not good enough.  Crazy though, because really, what is good enough and who is the official judge?  So, I decided just now that in spite of it not being finished yet, I’m starting my blog, right now.  I’ve been wanting to start for a long time.  Sometimes we have to do something, even when we’re scared.  Some friends had to remind me of that.  I’m glad they did.

So I guess I did it.  I started my blog.  Hooray for me!  Now that didn’t hurt at all. :)
