A little kingdom I possess,
Where thoughts and feelings dwell;
And very hard the task I find
Of governing it well.
~ Louisa May Alcott

...that more or less describes my situation!

~A Wise Man Said~

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

It opens the lungs, washes the countenance, exercises the eyes, and softens down the temper, so cry away -- Charles Dickens.

I wouldn't need that advice, as I have always followed it rather well. I do not know what it is that connects the heart with the eyes, but something must, or they wouldn't act in such unison.

I like to think that I'm grown now, except that I seem not to have lost a certain trait from my baby days. I can never restrain my tears. Flow they will and I can't make them respectable.
