During the first period of a man's life the greatest danger is not to take the risk.

something to celebrate on Sunday ... MUSTARD!

"There are many reasons to celebrate, but National Mustard Day just isn't one of them.” 
― Lily O'Brien

I disagree - I think National Mustard Day is more than a little worthy of celebration. August 5, 2016 ... put it on your calendars!

Ask not what you can do for your country.

Ask what's for lunch.

Motivation Mondays ... Tagore

library of congress Still life with violin

When the string of the violin was being tuned it felt the pain of being stretched, but once it was tuned then it knew why it was stretched. 

So it is with the human soul. 

While the soul goes through pain, torture and trouble it thinks that it would have been much better if it had gone through life without it. 

But once it reaches the culmination of it then, when it looks back, it begins to realize why all this was meant: it was only meant to tune the soul to a certain pitch. 

~Tagore.
