The Olive Grove - Happy Birthday Izzybella!

Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine in the very heart of your house, your children like olive plants all around your table. ~Psalm 128:3

O Orient, Brightness of the Eternal Light, and Sun of Righteousness:
Come, and enlighten them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death.

Tuesday 10 March 2009 - Happy Birthday Izzybella!

I loveth thee!

I cannot imagine what my life would be like without you in it.
You consistently amaze me.
You are clever and beautiful and talented beyond belief. (You most certainly did not get that from me.)
I love being your mama, and watching you define and refine who you are.

You totally rock.

There is a tide in the affairs of men.
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
On such a full sea are we now afloat,
And we must take the current when it serves,
Or lose our ventures.
Julius Caesar Act 4, scene 3, 218–224

May you live all the days of your life.
- Jonathan Swift

"And this our life,
exempt from public haunt,
Finds tongues in trees,
books in the running brooks,
Sermons in stones,
and good in every thing."
~William Shakespeare: As You Like It, II, 1

"A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul."
~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

"You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me."
