I'm guessing he (or someone else) wrote these out in advance, because that statement is ignorant and highly inappropriate considering what's going on right now.

 

[VF21]

Ignorant and highly inappropriate?

Geez...

They're daily thoughts from a calendar, as I explained at the beginning of the thread. Of course they were written in advance. I received the calendar as a Christmas gift. Should I not post the daily thought if, for some reason Kinkade could not possibly have foreseen, the message isn't exactly apt?

 

[VF21]

I'm a little hesitant to even post these right now, but here goes:

Tuesday, Sept. 6:

You are swimming against the tide - but toward the shore of serenity.

Wednesday, Sept. 7:

The beauty of nature is its own reward.

Again, please remember these thoughts are on a calendar which was printed long before the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina.

Sorry for giving you a hard time about the quotes, VF. It was just one of those moments that struck me funny. Hopefully there aren't any upcoming quotes about "weathering life's storms".

 

[VF21]

I looked ahead just in case...

Whew.

Actually, it is the small moments in the midst of chaos that help you keep your sanity when everything is spinnig out of control.
