“Be brave, little rabbit. Take a chance.” ― Cherise Sinclair, Breaking Free

“One minute I’m just another rabbit and happy about it, next minute whazaam, I’m thinking. That’s a major drawback if you’re looking for happiness as a rabbit, let me tell you. You want grass and sex, not thoughts like ‘What’s it all about, when you get right down to it?'”

(Terry Pratchett, Moving Pictures)

THE GEM 25 JULY 2017 : You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.

But ah, the days that string their pearls across our shoulders, warmly rest their sundrop auras…these we clasp in awe, aware that we are blest. © Laryalee Fraser Source: You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you. | THE OLD PROVERBIAL RECOVERY

THE GEM 23 JULY 2017 :Those who walk, run, or slide downhill eagerly would rather not think about the long, hard climb back up the hill again. Goswami Kriyananda | THE OLD PROVERBIAL RECOVERY

“Very rarely do people make big compromises with their integrity. Almost every compromise is a small one that is easily justified. The downhill slide is usually a result of many little compromises.”― Dennis Prager, Think a Second Time Source: Those who walk, run, or slide downhill eagerly would rather not think about the long, hard […]

the old proverbial recovery through ancient eyes

Marc 4/18/2015 — Yes.. I found him. Well. Kind of. News of him anyways. He’s living in Nevada and from what I understand he has suffered some seriously declining health in the past few months. I talked to a friend of his who is in regular contact with him who said he’s in and out of the hospital. I am going to get an address of his friend that I can send a message to Bobby thanking him for all he’s given us/me. I will not post that address. However if people want to send me their note of gratitude I will gladly include it with mine — it in one big envelop to send. Time is of the essence as I will probably send my letter within a couple weeks of the posted date above. OPR - I will get an address for Marc. Until then, you can post a comment on the page.
