 "Life is meant to be fun, and fun is a sure antidote to disappointment.  A million things have brought me joy, or laughter, or most important, the experience of beauty.  Read.  Plant a potato, and discover a treasure chest of new ones when you dig them.  Walk down a northern path in the springtime, and try to count the dogwood blossoms and the trilliums.  Read Shakespeare.  Discover love.  Then look up at the stars and reach for them."

~Richard Cutler

"Those who do not get fun and enjoyment 

out of every day. . . 

need to reorganize their lives."

~George Matthew Adams

"Fun is fundamental.  

There is no way around it.  

You absolutely must have fun.  

Without fun, there is no enthusiasm.  

Without enthusiasm, there is no energy.  

Without energy, there are only shades of gray."

~Doug Hall

“This is the real secret of life -- 

to be completely engaged 

with what you are doing 

in the here and now. 

And instead of calling it work, 

realize it is play.”

~Alan Watts

And then the day came,

when the risk

to remain tight

in a bud

was more painful

than the risk

it took

to Blossom. 

~Anais Nin
