Heart of Life

In the southwest region of the U.S., Tent caterpillars are hatched in a web-like cocoon among the branches of an almond bush. When they emerge, it is a phenomonal site to witness. These caterpillars metamorphosis' into brown, fuzzy moths. The moths lay eggs in the spring, the caterpillars hatch in 7 weeks, the caterpillars seek shelter under rocks or ground material, transform in less than 2 weeks into a moth and the entire adult lifespan is less than a week, wherein they procreate, again. Interesting.

I saw this and thought it looked like a heart.

So, on that note, the quote of the day is:

"Nuzzle up closer and feel the pulsating life of a beautiful heart." tc

What Really Matters

It is not the guy who cut you off in traffic or the near-miss accident. It is the fact that you made it to and from safely.
It is not the ocassional poor grade.  It is the education.
It is not who has more or who has less. It is that we are sharing.
It is not the petty differences.  It is the similarities.
It is not who is right and who is wrong. It is that we are talking.
It is not where you have been. It is what you have learned along the way.
It is not how difficult the journey may be. It is the hope in your heart that inspires you to keep moving.
It is not where you are going. It is how you plan to get there.
It is not what faith you practice. It is that you practice your faith.
It is not that you are eating steak, lobster and fresh vegetables. It is that you have food to eat.
It is not what you believe. It is that you Believe.

So, on that note, the quote of the day is:

"It is not who you Love. It is that you Love all." tc
