Finally:

You Belong in Paris

Stylish and expressive, you were meant for Paris.

The art, the fashion, the wine!

Whether you're enjoying the cafe life or a beautiful park...

You'll love living in the most chic place on earth.

What City Do You Belong In?

Etha said...: It says I belong to Rome :) but this quiz was weird, practically NONE of the answers I would have picked given different choices...; April 28, 2009 at 8:28 AM
Shirley said...: I tend to agree with Etha, but I belonged in New York City. It said because I am driven, but really I love the ethnicities of cities more.; May 8, 2009 at 2:51 PM
Cindy said...: I belong in Paris, too....isn't that ironic given that both DH's were just there without us! Like the look of the blog!; May 10, 2009 at 8:10 PM

Why "Tilting at Windmills"?

When I started this blog in October 2007, there was a story here about my connection to "Tilting With Windmills". Much of what was in that post no longer applies. Much other of it still does. So, here's the story.

When I was graduating from high school, more than 40 years ago, a group of my friend presented me with a print of Picasso's Don Quixote. They said it reminded me of them.

I get upset when things are wrong, even though getting upset cannot fix them. I dislike people who are cruel or petty or self-serving, and am frustrated that I cannot change them. I fight a daily battle with my health, although I know that every new day is another battle. I have a husband and close friends who support me, even when what I want or believe seems crazy.

So, the comparison with Don Quixote is perhaps an apt one. The story encourages me to take on the battles I see, even the hopeless ones. It reminds me to try to see the best in people. It comforts me that, in the end, even if my actions are futile, they are not meaningless.

I mean to try to continue "to dream the impossible dream".
