Things keep changing and things keep happening. I never really run out of ideas. I guess as long as I'm interested, I'll be interesting. - Ellen Goodman

We owned what we learned back there; the experience and the growth are grafted into our lives.

We are told that people stay in love because of chemistry, or because they remain intrigued with each other, because of many kindnesses, because of luck . . . But part of it has got to be forgiveness and gratefulness.

..what the next generation will value most is not what we owned, but the evidence of who we were and the tales of how we lived. In the end, it's the family stories that are worth the storage.
