Rebuilding myself ...

“Grief is perhaps an unknown territory for you. You might feel both helpless and hopeless without a sense of a "map" for the journey. Confusion is the hallmark of a transition. To rebuild both your inner and outer world is a major project.”

 Anne Grant 

People we meet ...

“In your life, you meet people. Some you never think about again. Some, you wonder what happened to them. There are some that you wonder if they ever think about you. And then there are some you wish you never had to think about again. But you do.”

About accomplishments ...

“It is important not to forget, that a noble accomplishment demands three fundamental requirements: first, to desire; second, know how to desire; and third, to deserve, or, in another words, ACTIVE WILL, PERSISTENT WORK and JUSTIFIABLE MERIT.”

Perseus with the head of Medusa by Antonio Canova

Perseus, the legendary founder of Mycenae and of the Perseid dynasty there, was the first of the mythic heroes of Greek mythology whose exploits in defeating various archaic monsters provided the founding myths of the Twelve Olympians. Perseus was the Greek hero who killed the Gorgon Medusa, and claimed Andromeda, having rescued her from a sea monster sent by Poseidon in retribution for Queen Cassiopeia declaring herself more beautiful than the sea nymphs.

Antonio Canova (1 November 1757 – 13 October 1822) was a Venetian sculptor who became famous for his marble sculptures that delicately rendered nudeflesh. The epitome of the neoclassical style, his work marked a return to classical refinement after the theatrical excesses of Baroque sculpture.

I took this picture in 2008 when I visited the Vatican Museum. This sculpture was  completed in 1801.  

Way to eternity ...

“Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.”

My time starts tomorrow ...

“Keep away from those who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you believe that you too can become great.”

I don't care about what they think ....

“Sometimes it's the smallest decisions that can change your life forever.”
