THOROUGHLY USED UP


"I WANT TO BE THOROUGHLY USED UP WHEN I DIE, FOR THE HARDER I WORK THE MORE I LIVE. I REJOICE IN LIFE FOR ITS OWN SAKE. LIFE IS NO 'BRIEF CANDLE' FOR ME. IT IS A SORT OF SPLENDID TORCH WHICH I HAVE GOT HOLD OF FOR THE MOMENT, AND I WANT TO MAKE IT BURN AS BRIGHTLY AS POSSIBLE BEFORE HANDING IT ON TO FUTURE GENERATIONS."

GEORGE BERNARD SHAW

    Love your new header.
    Hoping you have a wonderful weekend. It's pouring here right now. In the morning everything will be turned green...like magic. I love spring. Thanks for posting the lovely photos of your spring.
