If you have a dream and if you really believe you have some ability that can be expressed, pursue that dream; don’t give up. Hang in there! Who knows? Maybe on your next effort somebody will say, “Nice try.” That might be all the encouragement you’ll need. Remember, success might be just around the corner, over the next hill, or at the end of that next effort.

If I could be anywhere in the world right this very minute, I'd be on that chair with a good book in one hand and a glass of red in the other. Actually, scrap the book, I'd already have turned the chair around so I could simply watch the world pass by.
Built in 1895, Clingstone is truly unique 23 room mansion that sits on a rocky outcrop in Rhode Island's Narragansett Bay. After the passing of its original owner, the house stood empty for two decades until Henry Wood, a 79 year old Boston architect, snapped up the property for the princely sum of $3,600 (albeit in 1961, but still!)
Mr. Wood hosts an annual 'Clingstone Working Weekend' in which 70 of his closest friends mosey on over, set up camp in the house, and help clean and restore the old dame one little project at a time. I don't think I've ever been so willing to get domesticated in my whole life - where do I sign up?!

It's not how good you are, it's how good you want to be.

 You are fast thinking and tend to live by your wits. Getting over fears is important to you, as is strengthening intuition. |

After a few months of what can only be described as a 'messy', I'm going to make a few changes around here in my room - a little Spring Cleaning, if you will. (Thank heavens, I hear you cheer!)

I remember the media coverage that accompanied Edmund Hillary’s feat of being the first person to scale Mount Everest. He became an instant celebrity, even though he had failed in his first effort and left 5 of his guides dead on the mountainside. England recognized his tremendous effort by giving him the highest honor awarded a foreigner, a knighthood. Years later he was back in the headlines when his son climbed to the peak of Mount Everest, and father and son held a radio-phone conversation.
Today, according to the government of Nepal, climbers often reach the peak of Mount Everest. As a matter of fact, a one-day record of 37 people reaching the summit of Mount Everest has been reported. 7 teams arrived within a half-hour period and created a climbers’ traffic jam. Yes, yesterday’s impossibles often become tomorrow’s standard.
Most of us get excited when we read about superhuman achievements, but something that is much more important is breaking our personal best records for accomplishments. Achieving better grades, a better work record, a better record of “being nice,” and a host of other records will make you a better person in the most important game of all – the game of life.

| Your Birthday's Wisdom is Creation |
 You have learned that you're happiest in life when you're working with your hands. Whether you're cooking or writing, being creativity is what fools you. You don't like to be stagnant, and you are always thinking of new projects. You believe that a wasted day can lead to a wasted life. You make the most of the time you have. |
