Loss And Gain 
When I compare
What I have lost with what I have gained,
What I have missed with what attained,
Little room do I find for pride.

I am aware
How many days have been idly spent;
How like an arrow the good intent
Has fallen short or been turned aside.

But who shall dare
To measure loss and gain in this wise?
Defeat may be victory in disguise;
The lowest ebb is the turn of the tide.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of
attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important
than facts. It is more important than the past, the
education, the money, than circumstances, than
failure, than successes, than what other people
think or say or do. It is more important than
appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or
break a company... a

church... a home. The
remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday
regarding the attitude we will embrace for that
day. We cannot change our past... we cannot
change the fact that people will act in a certain
way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only
thing we can do is play on the one string we have,
and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is
10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react
to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of
our Attitudes."

Charles R. Swindoll

Books

I love to read mysteries. Especially books by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child:
Riptide, The Ice Limit, The Cabinet of Curiosities, Still Life with Crows, Brimstone, Book of the Dead, and Dance of Death.

I've often heard of books that you couldn't put down, but never really found one until I read The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson. It takes place in the late 1800's and it is the story of Dr. H.H. Holmes, a serial killer in Chicago. While he was luring unsuspecting victims to their deaths, just a short distance away was the construction of the second World's Fair. As interesting as the story of this serial killer is, the story about the World's Fair (White City) was surprisingly captivating.

The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield is a novel about an aging famous author
who's life is about to end. She has written twelve best sellers, all based on events
of her life. These stories were part truth and part fiction. But, now at the end of her
life, she wants to tell the thirteenth tale. Only this one will be the truth about her life.
A life books of fiction are made of, but a life she had to keep secret.

This was an excellent story. It held my interest and caused me to look forward to
picking this book up again and learning more about Vida's history. A life story so
hard to believe, and yet you know stories like this may have happened to many.
I would most certainly recommend it.

    Hello Carolyn. . .

    Thank you, Sweetie, for your recent visit. I apologize for taking so long to get back to you; however, I've not been well; and my computer has been in far worse shape than I for the past several months. Within the past 10 days, I finally had to stop procrastinating and have my computer completely overhauled, along with the installation of terabytes of memory. Hopefully, all this TLC will provide me with many more weeks and months of problem-free enjoyment.

    I've finally had an opportunity to visit your lovely site; and you've done an excellent job with the layout and the interesting photographs.

    Meeting and making friends worldwide has always been a wonderful experience for me. I sincerely hope you will visit often; and that we will get an opportunity to know each other better in the coming days and weeks. In the meantime, I wish for you and your family a Christmas Holiday filled with lots of love, peace, and joy. Above all, may it be a safe holiday for all.

    Sending lots of warm, gentle hugs and best wishes always.

    Luv ya bunches!
