Words
of Wisdom from Sally
Winter

"These
are some of the most important things
I have learned in my 95 years. Remembering
these valuable lessons will help all
of us in our roles as friends, mothers
(and fathers), sisters (and brothers)
and as representatives of Centered
Riding.
If
I want my dreams to come true, I must
not oversleep
Of
all the things one wears, an expression
is the most important
The
best vitamin for making friends.....B-1
The
quality of our lives depends on the
quality of our thoughts
The
heaviest thing we carry is a grudge
I
try and keep my words soft and sweet
in case I have to eat them
One
thing I can give and still keep is
my word
Ideas
won't work unless I do
My
mind is like a parachute, it works
best when open
It
is never too late to be the best that
we can be.
Love
Always,
Sally"

"At the age of 94 every new day
is a gift. I would like to take this
opportunity to impart that thought
to each and every one of you regardless
of your age. So far it's fun being
old and retired, but I am well aware
that my current situation could change
in the blink of an eye, and it could
be otherwise............
OTHERWISE
by Jane Kenyon
I
got out of bed
On two strong legs.
It might have been otherwise.
I ate Cereal, sweet milk and ripe
flawless fruit
It might have been otherwise.
I took the dog uphill to the birch
Woods.
All morning I did the work I love.
At noon I lay down for a nap.
It might have been otherwise.
I ate dinner together with friends
at a table with silver candlesticks.
It might have been otherwise.
I slept in a bed in a room with paintings
on the walls, and planned another
day.
But one day I know, it will be otherwise
My
love to each of you. Please try and
plan on being at this year's Symposium.
I really look forward to seeing each
of you then.
Sally" |
