This is a bold way to start your day.

Big flavors to fuel you big inspirations in a big way.

CHEESY NUTTY OMELET

Beat 4 Eggs in a bowl with a fork

Season with Salt and Pepper

Day 159

It is never too late
to be what you might have been.
George Eliot

Love is the only thing
that can be divided without being diminished.

Doing an injury puts you below your enemy;
revenging makes you even with him;
forgetting it sets you above him.
Benjamin Franklin

A thousand words
will not make so deep an impression
as one deed.
Henrik Ibsen

If you find a path with no obstacles,
it probably doesn't lead anywhere.

Worry is wasting today's time
to clutter up tomorrow's opportunities
with yesterday's troubles!

If it is not right, don't do it.
If it is not rue, do not say it.
Marcus Aurelius

Day 157

I'm not in Paris
but feel like I'm on holiday
in out new "boutique hotel suite" in Rolling Hills Estates on Deep Valley.
Almost settled in so the recipes will soon follow.

One resolution I have made, and always try to keep, is this:

to rise above little things.

John Burroughs

The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand,

nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship;

it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers

that someone else believes in him

and is willing to trust him with his friendship.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Be compassionate and take responsibility for each other.

Brotherhood represents an acceptance of difference,

the showing of unconditional love and respect for one another

- a new level of consciousness.

 The Messenger

It is better to lose your pride to the one you love,

than to lose the one you love because of pride.

Gratitude is the ability to love life, to love each other and ourselves.

Becoming grateful requires us to focus on what's right

and change our behavior by filling our lives with deeds of worth.

Day 156

Even if our efforts of attention seem for years to be producing no result,
one day a light that is in exact proportion to them will flood the soul.
Simon Weil

Ten years' searching in the deep forest
Today great laughter at the edge of the lake.
Soen

Anything more than the truth would be too much.
Robert Frost

The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness.
John Muir

Say one word with your mouth shut!
Zen Saying

Men argue, nature acts.
Voltaire

Day 155

We shape clay into a pot,
but it is the emptiness inside
that holds whatever we want.
Tao Te Ching

The notes I handle no better than many pianists.
But the pauses between the notes - ah, that is where the art resides!
Artur Schnabel

Even a good thing isn't as good as nothing.
Zen Saying

Among the great things which are to be found among us,
the Being of Nothingness is the greatest.
Leonardo Da Vinci

I have nothing to say,
I am saying it,
and that is poetry.
John Cage

No one's mouth is big enough to utter the whole thing.
Alan Watts
