Seda was thrown another very generous, loving, and compassionate baby shower this past today here in Mansfield... I did not choose those words idly... I think that they are perfect actually... thank you to Sue, Joy, and all of the other ladies that made it possible! We are truly grateful.

Elbert Hubbard quotes
I have no idea who Elbert Hubbard was, but I have recently stumbled onto some of his quotes (more here) that have certainly clicked with me...
- "Don't take life too seriously. You'll never get out of it alive."
- "Editor: a person employed by a newspaper, whose business it is to separate the wheat from the chaff, and to see that the chaff is printed."
- "Many a man's reputation would not know his character if they met on the street."
- "Never explain--your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway."
- "God will not look you over for medals, degrees or diplomas but for scars."
- "He who does not understand your silence will probably not understand your words."
- "The line between failure and success is so fine. . . that we are often on the line and do not know it."
- "Every man is a damn fool for at least five minutes every day; wisdom consists in not exceeding the limit."
- "It is easy to get everything you want, provided you first learn to do without the things you cannot get."
- "Parties who want milk should not seat themselves on a stool in the middle of the field in hope that the cow will back up to them."
- "Don't take life too seriously. You'll never get out of it alive."
