Quote for the day

Be not the slave of your own past. Plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep and swim far, so you shall come back with self-respect, with new power, with an advanced experience that shall explain and overlook the old.

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

  3. My dear diva, Mary took this quote literally and learned to fly an airplane at “29-again” years-old. An art teacher, who let me hany out with her, named Elizabeth chaperoned a group of 30 college kids to Europe at age “post-AARP” age. My dear mother-in-love, Paula took a halfway cross-country trip over the holidays and was the first one up and the last one to bed. My courageous parents were the first of their family to graduate with college degrees, putting each other through school long before Equal Rights, Equal Pay, or even Equal sugar substitute.

    I really like this quote and the people in my life it celebrates. Thank you again for re-publishing it
