How do you see it?
This came across the wire on my daily quotes of the iGoogle homepage. Something to think about.
Too many people are thinking of security instead of opportunity.
They seem more afraid of life than death.

Three Travelers - Thursday Thoughts
Tuesday I shared conversations with three good friends all hitting the road via different vehicles and heading all different directions. While all three know each other, they were probably unaware of each others’ travel plans and stories, at least till it sparked in dinner on the deck
The only traveler of the three not currently in [...]
The Art of Contentment
One of my talented artist friends Phil posted this and I wanted to detour from photo news to include some thoughts on the Art of contentment. Enjoy.
The Art of Contentment
“For most of us, being single will be more of a phase than a final destination. This is the best place to practice the art [...]
Drobo arigato, data roboto

(Cool photo, not even mine)
Currently it’s doing it’s robot work [...]

Before the afternoon humidity set in I was walking around the house opening windows to let the nice breeze circulate when I got inspired to decorate. Ok, just to put up the top frilly part over the curtains in the baby room. It’s as close to decorating as I get for now.
I brought Adrian upstairs [...]
Stites Family Portraits
Bartering - a favorite form of trade amongst small businesses and entrepreneurs.
My brother in law Dennis and his family own J&M Auto in South Bend and have helped keep our cars running well over the years. Last year we traded some maintenance for a family portrait session and this summer we finally got everyone together [...]
Miriam’s Senior Session
Congrats, Miriam!
It’s amazing to see the youngest students of my 2002-2003 drama class now getting ready for graduation day. I was proud of them back then for all the hard work they put into our (elective) class, and Sara and I are even more proud as they get ready to celebrate all their hard work [...]
