    Chinese Proverb

    Something to think about at this time



    You cannot prevent the birds of sorrow from flying over your head, but you can prevent them from building nests in your hair.

    - Chinese Proverb


    My daughter sent this one to me.
    Death leaves a heartache no one can heal,
    Love leaves a memory no one can steal

    Yes I'm out of my mind. It's a dark and scary place in there.

    Thank you for posting these. I am writing them down now. Over the years I have let some nests be built and am now trying not to let that happen again.
