Thanks for the kind words-Jock and anita.

I hope you realize you have suffered enough, and we all deserve to forgive ourselves–I have to say that to myself, so today I am saying it to us.

In the movies-Clint Eastwood could say anything– and I think it could be thought provoking and sound like a life lesson. Until in real life he talked to an empty chair at the republican convention without a script did I realize he needed a director/producer and several takes. What Eastwood said as a cowboy I could usually ponder over and make some life lesson of value or open my mind to.

On topic of westerns-there was/is a writer of many books (more than 100) named Louis L’Amour. His daughter compiled quotations out of books and published a book, one of my favorites. I have dog-eared, yellow highlighted this book for years.

My very favorite quote is-

A mind, like a home, is furnished by its owner, so if one’s life is cold and bare he can blame none but himself. You have a chance to select from some pretty elegant furnishings.
Louis L’Amour
