We love to visit our state parks. And one of our favorite parks to visit is Letchworth State Park. I think in the last several years it has become an annual visit to the park at least once a year. One of the reasons we love Letchworth State Park is that it is a huge park with lots of space. And that makes it a great place for us to visit with… Read More

“Men are qualified for civil liberty in exact proportion to their disposition to put moral chains upon their own appetites. … Society cannot exist unless a controlling power upon will and appetite be placed somewhere, and the less of it there is within, the more there must be without. It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things that men of intemperate minds cannot be free. Their passions forge their fetters.” –… Read More

“Accept Where You Are to Get You Where You Want to Go. Seeing clearly, accepting, and starting where you are. Not where you want to be. Not where you think you should be. Not where other people think you should be. But where you are.” ― Brad Stulberg, The Practice of Groundedness: A Transformative Path to Success That Feeds–Not Crushes–Your Soul Click the link to see another beautiful white flower image, but… Read More
