“If time and space, as sages say, Are things which cannot be, The sun which does not feel decay No greater is than we. So why, Love, should we ever pray To live a century? The butterfly that lives a day Has lived eternity.”

T.S. Eliot

"Love can forbear, and Love can forgive... but Love can never be reconciled to an unlovely object....He can never therefore be reconciled to your sin, because sin itself is incapable of being altered; but He may be reconciled to your person, because that may be restored."

- Thomas Traherne. Centuries of Meditation, II, 30.

To be grateful is to recognize the Love of God in everything He has given us - and He has given us everything. Every breath we draw is a gift of His love, every moment of existence is a grace, for it brings with it immense graces from Him. Gratitude therefore takes nothing for granted, is never unresponsive, is constantly awakening to new wonder and to praise of the goodness of God. For the grateful person knows that God is good, not by hearsay but by experience. And that is what makes all the difference.

"When it comes to life the critical thing is whether you take things for granted or take them with gratitude."

G.K. Chesterton

“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”

Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

Tumblr. What to do with you.

I never paid attention to Tumblr before. It just caught the curiosity out of me when Yahoo announced they were buying it out for $1.1 billion. I thought, “Why would Yahoo pay so much money for such company?” So, I checked it out. Turns out it’s quite a nice place to express my thoughts and ideas out loud. I feel it’s a great place to be heard if someone is wanting to listen; and to discover people who have the same or similar interests as yourself.

Tumblr is like a mix of Twitter, Facebook and Wordpress — the best of them. I like the Quotation feature, well, because I love quotations. But what I am particularly impressed by is its simplicity and user experience. I guess I can do these things in Facebook as well. But somehow, Tumblr feels different. Facebook is like a noisy market. Tumblr is like my own room, only virtually. It’s a whole lot more quiet here.

I have yet to discover more of you Tumblr, and I am so far liking it.

“People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway. If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway. For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.”

This is the Jeep CJ7 I found on the internet that inspired me to build my own CJ7.

It's simply beautiful.

To be trusted is a greater compliment than being loved.
