A wise person once told me....
- We're all new.
- You have to take care of yourself.
- Chasing tools should be shaped like fingertips.
- Let the tool do the work.
- Take some time to get to know your subject.
- Slow down.
- Pick your battles.
- Tell the truth
- Life is good.
These are all things that people have said to me, that have stuck with me. Of course, I've learned much from people in other ways as well. This entry is only about the seemingly insignificant phrases that make a big difference. When I consider how these phrases have impacted my own life, it helps me to choose my own words more carefully.

Slow down is definately one that I should learn to practice more. I enjoy my work, and should savor making my pieces--I might just screw up a little less! And yes, Life IS good!
A wise man once told me:
"They can take anything from you in this world, except what you have in your head. That is truly yours."
The wise man was my father.

Life is short.
Life is long.
Two different people told me each one. Meaning -- life is short so go for it! Take chances! And Life is long, as in, don't sweat it, things will work out.

All great advice- my favorite is very simply, "Make choices. Choose happiness."
