eBay My World: oldbarn( 1274)

I am compassionate, openminded and honest. I treat everyone as I would like to be treated. I love to laugh and I think humor is essential to well being. I love dogs, nature, books and cool old stuff. I love the simple life.

I don't avidly collect anything but I have a lot of books, pottery, stoneware and some antique items. I like anything related to dogs.

The trick is in what one emphasizes. We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work is the same. ~Carlos Castaneda Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain. ~Unknown Your diamonds are not in far distant mountains or in yonder seas; they are in your own backyard if you but dig for them. ~ Russell H. Conwell Sometimes a glance, a few casual words, fragments of a melody floating through the quiet air of a summer evening, a book that accidentally comes into hands, a poem or memory-laden fragrance may bring about the impulse which changes and determines our whole life. ~Lama Govinda To live in this world, you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go. ~Mary Oliver Please see My Me page for more words of wisdom . . .
