    That's true. I dated an Irishman in a prior life, and he always talked about his weight in stones. I found it so charming. Of course, anything he said in his Irish accent sounded charming.
    Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

    I tend to find accents (Irish, french, russian, Italian, spanish, (LOL), polish, vietnamese, canadian, british, australian, jamacan, etc) charming. Heck, even New Jersey accents...

    Dear contractor, Please stop asking us to review you on Angie's List. Quite honestly, the main reason we haven't is because you've been so pushy about it. Those reviews should be freely given and not the product of arm twisting. We paid a handsome sum for those windows and are paying you another tidy sum for some additional work. Stop acting like there's more to our contract than that.

    Dear So and So,

    Just because it's YOUR prejudice doesn't mean it isn't still a prejudice, and just because it's YOUR prejudice doesn't magically make a prejudice morally superior. It's still bigotry, and it makes things worse, not better.

    "My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure." O. Sacks
