On her birthday (June 23rd), I present a little placard made by Mom with some aphorisms. Are these from Dale Carnegie or Norman Vincent Peale? I don’t know, but this was hanging in our house for as long as I can remember. it must be at least 30 years old, I think it was a flower in the middle. Some things here that I should remember more often. Instead of burning incense in front of her altar, I put regular dry (sencha) tea in an aromatherapy burner, and lit a candle as usual under it. Great way to give your home a nice tea smell.

That’s an unbelievable coincidence – it was my birthday yesterday too.
I like the placard. I’ve fallen in love with my work – web design – even though I don’t know if it’s the right thing for me, and I don’t know if I’m good enough to do it for a living. I’ll just stick at it until I am good I think.
Thanks, that kind of made my day, just a little bit, but enough.

Happy birthday! I just started looking them up with Google, they are all different authors: Emerson, Helen Keller, Chinese philosophy…

Well, it was my birthday too! And I know what I love – just need to keep going in that direction.
