There Is Only Now

"It's a terrible
thing, I think, in life
to wait until you're
ready.  I have this
feeling now that
actually no one is
ever ready to do
anything. There is
almost no such thing
as ready. There is only
now." -anonymous

Wise Words

"Just as treasures are uncovered from the earth, so virtue appears from good deeds, and wisdom appears from a pure and peaceful mind. To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue."

~Buddha~

Antonia's German Class

One day in the Spring my cousin Ann and I visited our dear long time family friend Antonia's German class held at a Senior Center in Newport Beach.

 

It was great to see our lovely friend Antonia (84 years young) teaching her large class of enthusiastic learners. Antonia has been volunteer teaching at this center for over 10 years.

After class Antonia invited us to her lovely home nearby for lunch she had prepared. 

Thank you Antonia for sharing this wonderful time with us. You are an amazing and wonderful role model with an inquisitive, intelligent mind and ever amazing spirit!

Thankful
