“There are many things in life that will catch your eye, only a few that will catch your heart.  Pursue these.”    Michael Nolan

  This is another favorite quote of mine.  I think it is a wonderful philosophy for life.  Just think how different our world would be if more people adopted it.  Material things can’t satisfy the soul,  They leave us wanting more and more.  We see that in our personal lives and in our world in general.  Isn’t that how wars get started?  One country wants to have more than the next one?  It’s never enough.

  As I sit here in my home office and I look around I have many eyes staring down at me.  Part of my cow cookie jar collection is in here.  They are cute.  I enjoy them.  But I could definitely live without them.Spending time with my children and grandchildren, now that’s something I could not live without.  Spending time with my friends making quilts for charity.  That’s something I could not live without.  Being able to go to church is something I could not live without.  Sharing my life with Gary is something I could not live without.  These are the important things.  These are the things I pursue.
