"The lesson [Henry David Thoreau] had taught himself, and which he tried to teach others, was summed up in the one word 'Simplify.' That meant simplify the outward circumstances of your life, simplify your needs and your ambitions; learn to delight in the simple pleasures which the world of Nature affords. It meant also, scorn public opinion, refuse to accept the common definitions of success, refuse to be moved by the judgment of others. And unlike most who advocate such attitudes, he put them into practice." (Walden and Other Writings by Henry David Thoreau--Edited and with an Introduction by Joseph Wood Krutch, Bantam Books, 1962, P. 1)

Memories of Kristy Ragsdale

I was blessed to be one of so many who knew Kristy Palizzi Ragsdale. Click here for the blog set up in her memory. It captures beautifully her unique, amazing spirit. (For those who didn't know her, Kristy was the young mother shot to death in a church parking lot on Sunday.)

Donnell, I am so sorry for this unthinkable loss. The tributes on this blog site are so lovely and uplifting, a true tribute to the spirited life Kristi lived. My heart goes out to you as you comfort Kristy's mom as only a true friend can do. There aren't any words to offer Ann, so, please know this will be in our prayers. "Lord, I lift this to you. Thank you that your Spirit is interceding for those whose cries are too deep for words. Bless and comfort them as only You can do."

Love you.
