Porte Photos Daily Quote: September 7, 2022

Well, we all know that self-esteem comes
from what you think of you,
not what other people think of you.

~ Gloria Gaynor
American – Musician Born: September 7, 1949

Porte Musings:

The beginning of September always brings a sense of re-newal.

New books, pens, colouring pencils, schools and bags.

Dressed your best for the first day of school.

Excitement building as you wait for the bus.

Although I’m well past my first day of school, I believe learning is a life long experience, so today I’m headed to Point Peele National Park with my sister and a couple of kayaks to kayak the marshes for the first time. If we don’t get lost I’m hoping we can also take the tram to the point. Maybe we’ll be lucky and see the migration of the Monarchs.

You may be a redneck if…
you have spent more
on your pickup truck
than on your education.

~ Jeff Foxworthy
American – Comedian Born: September 6, 1958

Porte Musings:

First day of school, or usually. For most of the students in our area it’s a PD Day as the teachers are learning a new computer system.

Busy week ahead. Everything is scheduled to start. It’s like a New Year with new things everywhere. Zumba is even going to start again. Looking forward to the fall activities.

You can’t fake listening.
It shows.

~ Raquel Welch
American – Actress Born: September 5, 1940

Porte Musings:

My grandson and I spent a wonderful day kayaking. We did my normal route backwards to ensure he saw my favorite spot at the turnaround point of my normal route. Muddy entry with a dock too high for easy entry and exit. He started out with the paddles upside down. Then remembered on his own: writing towards you so you can read it and he turned them around. This picture was before he remembered.

I hope everyone is enjoying their last Monday of summer holidays. Tuesday the teachers will be in school preparing for Wednesday and the students returning.

Life all comes down to a few moments.
This is one of them.

~ Charlie Sheen
American – Actor Born: September 3, 1965

Porte Musings:

Saturday of the Labour Day Long Weekend.

Fresh chili sauce in jars made yesterday on the counter.

Freshly brewed coffee.

Baked bran muffins hot from the oven.

The weekend paper with comics.

Life is good.

Grief changes shape,
but it never ends.

~ Keanu Reeves
Canadian – Actor Born: September 2, 1964

Porte Musings:

September 2nd always saddens my heart.

It was the day my mother suddenly passed and my world was shattered.

The years have softened the blow,
but her memory lives on and my heart still misses her.

Porte Photos Daily Quote: September 1, 2022

My favourite poem is the one that starts
‘Thirty days hath September’
because it actually tells you something.

~ Groucho Marx
