Mother and Daughter on the Oregon Coast
A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.
~Washington Irving, Author

A lot of people love tuna.
Some are concerned about tuna not being dolphin-friendly.
Some are concerned about the amount of mercury in the large fish.
Some are vegan or vegetarian and don't eat tuna, but they miss it and crave it.
Well if you love the taste, here is an amazing protein-packed vegan recipe to try.

La Jolla, Southern California
“When was the last time you spent a quiet moment just doing nothing -
just sitting and looking at the sea, or watching the wind blowing the tree limbs,
or waves rippling on a pond, a flickering candle or children playing in the park?”
~ Ralph Marston, The Daily Motivator

Along the Oregon Coast
Down at the base of the cliffs were heaps of surf-worn rocks or little sandy coves inlaid with pebbles as with ocean jewels; beyond lay the sea, shimmering and blue, and over it soared the gulls, their pinions flashing silvery in the sunlight.
“Isn’t the sea wonderful?’ said Anne… Don’t you think it would be nice to wake up at sunrise and swoop down over the water and away out over that lovely blue all day; and then at night to fly back to one’s nest? Oh, I can just imagine myself doing it.
~L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables

Happy Birthday to You!
The greatest poem ever known
Is one all poets have outgrown:
The poetry, innate, untold,
Of being only four years old.
Still young enough to be a part
Of Nature’s great impulsive heart,
Born comrade of bird, beast, and tree
And unselfconscious as the bee-
And yet with lovely reason skilled
Each day new paradise to build;
Elate explorer of each sense,
Without dismay, without pretense!
~Christopher Morley, To a Child

“For the times they are a-changin’.”
Signs of the Times
The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin’
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin’.
~Bob Dylan, “The Times They Are A-Changin’”
