After many close doors and rejections in my life the simple word welcome has extraordinary meaning for me.
In the photo below (taken at the entrance to the Carriage House at Pocono Manor) I see love and kindness, beauty and history of this wonderful place.
The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.
~Isaac Asimov
It is easier to find a score of men wise enough to discover the truth than to find one intrepid enough, in the face of opposition, to stand up for it.
~A.A. Hodge
Wisdom consists of the anticipation of consequences.
~Norman Cousins
Wisdom comes by disillusionment.
~George Santayana
Wisdom outweighs any wealth.
~Sophocles
For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.
He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the universe.

There is no wisdom without love!
Always remember!
This is as true in everyday life as it is in battle: we are given one life and the decision is ours whether to wait for circumstances to make up our mind, or whether to act, and in acting, to live.
Happiness is dependent on self-discipline. We are the biggest obstacles to our own happiness. It is much easier to do battle with society and with others than to fight our own nature.
Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.
To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.

Not too long ago I published the post FROM WINTER TO SUMMER. Several months passed. We had wonderful time in Hollywood, Florida.
Now is time to move from summer to spring, from 84 degrees in Hollywood to 65 degrees in Queens, from palms to blooming magnolias, from our friends here to our family and friends in New York and New Jersey.
It takes only three hours to come from summer to spring and to enjoy wonders of New York City. In a week we can walk in the Central Park, we can go to the St. Patrick’s Cathedral, we can visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Life is wonderful! Enjoy it! Enjoy learning, enjoy work, enjoy meeting friends, walks, workouts, meditation, gaining wisdom!
Think and grow! It is never too late to become a better person, to understand your place in the world, to make your contribution to it!
PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS
