HAPPY NEW YEAR!
“I must learn to love the fool in me--the one who feels too much, talks too much, takes too many chances, wins sometimes and loses often, lacks self-control, loves and hates, hurts and gets hurt, promises and breaks promises, laughs and cries. It alone protects me against that utterly self-controlled, masterful tyrant whom I also harbor and who would rob me of my human aliveness, humility, and dignity but for my Fool.”

A goofy happy song - Don't forget to look for the Beauty of the World this new year (I think I got this from Madsnapper/Sandra too).
Click on the word Elion. Then drag your mouse over the picture, but only after you have looked at it all.
This is what we have to do to change our outlook on life!

Well, I just love that Rubin quote and had never seen it before. So thank you for that reality check. :)
What an insightful quote ... I'd never heard it before, but as someone who's so hard on herself, especially her inner fool, it speaks volumes to me.
I love that link to Elion. Profound.
Wishing you and yours a blessed 2013!

I love the passage from Rubin! I hope your new year is off to a great start. :-)
Hi Sandie! Happy New Year! Ohhhhhh, loved that Elion part of your post. Looked like a Jacquie Lawson card!
Hope your new year is as terrific as you are! Susan
You are right...love life and you get it back three-fold!...:)JP
I was filled up with just the first quote and then you had to go and keep it coming. Excellent! Happy New Year to you and yours.
I like the last quote Sandie, If you love life, life will love you back. That is very insightful and to be thought about for a bit. May we both love life a bit more in this new year of 2013!
betty
Happy New Year! I like that last quote too. I think Mr. Rubinstein loved life, of that I'm sure.
Sandie! Very cheerful and upbeat post!!! Thank you! You have a grand 2013, k?
Just stopping by to wish my favorite crone a very Happy New Year! May you and your family be blessed with all of God's richest blessings in 2013. I can't wait for this year's installment of chuckles, giggles, and guffaws. You always make me laugh!
Is everyone feeling better?

Hey Sandie, If everyone looked at the world like you do, it would be a much happier place. Never change how you are. I think you are perfect..
A little mad makes everyone glad. xx
I look forward to spending 2013 at Chatty's place. Happy New Year Sandie!
I've been on this blog for about twenty minutes now trying to get caught up and entertain myself with clicking. I just went upstairs to wake my daughter singing "Shake your booty boys and girls... for the beauty in the world."
If she didn't think I was a big old pain in that booty before, she does now.
I love that quote at the beginning SO MUCH.
Hope your 2013 will be as fabulous and chatty as you are! Who knows? Maybe this is the year that I'll travel to Atlanta for a little coffee tawk with you.
Happy New Year Sandie! The card was lovely!
Happy New Year and God bless. I love the quote about loving the fool in yourself. I need to do that! The Elion picture was really nice.
WOW! I'm behind on saying hi to my friends! Hi Sandie - Funny video but brought me smiles!!
A wonderfully Happy New Years!!
