From a Moody Blues song<P>for it was when he was of anger or hate or felt fear that he was not understanding...<P>Actually I think I misquoted it, but the sentiment is there and it's close. I'll have to go home and listen to it tonite to get it right. "A question of Balance" Last song.

I love quotes. Here's a favorite that applies to a few board members and many Hs. <P>"If the person that you are talking to does not seem to be listening, be patient. It may simply be that he has a small piece of fluff in his ear."<BR> --Winnie the Pooh<P>We can learn at lot from the comics, can't we,like:<P>"In the book of life, the answers aren't in the back."<BR> --Charlie Brown<P>On the serious side:<P><BR>"Love is when you take away the feeling, the passion, and the romance in a relationship- and find out you still care for that person."<BR> --Unknown <P><BR>"The more anger towards the past you carry in your heart, the less capable you are of loving in the present." <BR> --Barbara De Angelis<P>Buffy<P>

"Hidden inside every loss and disapointment is a gift for you. Right now, you may not be ready to find it. But, trust that when you are ready, it will be there."<P>The last one is very meaningful to me. It does not mean to say that the "gift" is equal to the loss...it often is not. Only that even the worst things that happen to us can lead to growth if we will let them.<P><BR>Also, how about:<P>"Your spouse is not a mindreader."<P>And, one of my faves from this site: "The grass is greener where it is watered."<P><BR>
