Why most autobiographies are mostly positive...

Blog quote #1232... 

"An autobiography usually reveals nothing bad about its writer, except his memory." -Humorist Franklin P Jones-

If you think about it, most autobiographies are mostly positive about the writer. This is likely because he/she gets to choose the subject matter to share and discuss. 

Biographies might on the other hand, contain a larger picture of the overall human?  While the quotesmith here is likely drawing some humor,  like all sarcasm and wit, it might be truer than we'd like to think?  

That's my view...what say you?

Dogs and GOONESSS ( must read!)

Blog quote #1231... 

" All his life he tried to be a good person. Many times however, he failed. For after all, he was only human. He wasn't a dog." -Charles Schultz- 

We always said dogs are the closest thing to God on this planet. They love, they serve,  they are always positive, they care about others, and are incredibly unselfish. They bring great joy, they are faithful, they are gentle, good, and kind. For the spiritual type--take a look at the 9 fruits of the spirit in Galatians 5:22-23. Most of them describe what dogs do on a continuous, daily basis.

Perhaps we humans should study and learn more from our canine playbooks, and then perhaps imitate them a bit more frequently. We often wondered why man can't be man's best friend?

For the record, did you ever notice what doG spelled backwards is? Hmm...

The Powers of Imagination( and everlasting gobstoppers)

Blog quote #1229 +1230... 

"Logic will get you from A to Z. Imagination will get you everywhere." -Albert Einstein-

"There is no life I know to compare to pure imagination. Living there you'll be free--if you truly wish to be." -Willy Wonka   

Wonka also shared "If you want to view paradise, simply look around and view it. Anything you want to, do it! Want to change the world? There's nothing to it."

Logic is a great skill to utilize and have. Imagination takes it to the next level and with imagination, the sky is literally the limit...If anyone knows, it's the Chocolate Factory man!

A powerful, yet inexpensive GIFT...

Blog quote #1228... 

"A smile remains the most inexpensive gift I can bestow on anyone, and yet, its powers can vanquish kingdoms." -Og Mandino-   

Self explanatory, here. And for those unfamiliar with OG, get some of him in your reading life. You will be very pleased!

Can happiness be bought?

Blog quote #1227... 

"Whoever said you can't buy happiness forgot about puppies." -Gene Hill-   

Well technically it cannot be bought. However, a puppy is about as close as you can get.  Pure love. Innocence. Puppy breath. A friend for life. Loyalty like nothing else... 

Thanks for the pleasant thought, Gene.

On Understanding OURSELVES...

Blog quote #1226... 

"You are not here to make others understand you. You are here to understand yourself." -Kristen Butler-   

Perhaps Ms. Butler is hinting that we are so busy trying to impress others, we never truly know who we are, in the end?

Maybe spend some time on ourselves and getting to know the real us, and why it is that we are here. It will likely prove more meaningful and worthy of our time spent here, on earth. Just a thought...
