Ego

The ring always believes that the finger lives for it.
Malcom de Chazal

Talk to a man about himself and he will listen for hours.
Benjamin Disraeli

A man has many skins in himself, covering the depths
of his heart. Man knows so many things; he does not
know himself. Why, thirty or forty skins or hides, just
like an ox's or a bear's, so thick and hard, cover the
soul. Go into your own ground and learn to know
yourself there. Meister Eckhart

If you are all wrapped up in yourself, you are overdressed.
Kate Halverson

You probably wouldn't worry about what people think
of you if you could know how seldom they do.
Olin Miller

I have had more trouble with myself than with any
man I have ever met. Dwight Moody

Make your ego porous. Will is of little importance,
complaining is nothing, fame is nothing. Openness,
patience, receptivity, solitude is everything.
Rainer Maria Rilke

So what exactly is "ego" as you see it? Is it a good thing?
Is it a bad thing? Tell me what you think!

Do this!!! Please!

I borrowed this from my friend Tina!

You really need to go here and tell me what you think! Even those of you who don't normally comment (and you know who you are). The Johari Window shows how I see me and how YOU see me!

Please??? Purty please????

Ready! Set! GO!!

Thank you!!

Yay!

Woo Hoo!!!

2 1/2 weeks until Spring Break!

**Then I'm off to Indiana!!**

Huh?

What happened to
my comments box?!

It's been gone for hours!

Blog Scrabble!

I Scrabbled my blog name!

My Scrabble© Score is: 27. What is your score?

And I Quote...

An awesome friend of mine had this quote on her blog recently...

Don't cry because it's over
Smile because it happened.

Cool.

Many of you know that I've had a hard time with the fact that I'm turning 40 this year. Age has never bothered me before. This quote put me in a little better mood as I chuckled...

Better to be Over the Hill
than under the hill.

Silly, I know, but it helped a little.

So how about all my blog friends share quotes that they like, serious or goofy, that may have helped you through any kind of problem or 'bad day' or just brightened your mood when you needed it.

I'd really appreciate it! I think it would be fun!

Have a happy, peaceful and wonderful day and week and life.

Much love.

Guess who's waking up?!!!

This is one end of Spud's house. This is where he's been sleeping the last 4 months.

But as you can see by the 'doorway' of his sleeping quarters, he's peeking out! It looks like he's waking up!!

Yaaay!!!


Here's a closer view of Spud peeking out.
