Sunday Quote: Perfect composure

Karl Duffy

This week marks 15 years of writing this blog. A lot of changes in that time. I said 5 years ago that the reason I post is to remind myself to begin anew every day and that has not changed. Thanks to all who follow and I continue to hope that the thoughts selected help you also to see the world in new and fresh ways.

Without accepting the fact that everything changes,

we cannot find perfect composure

  3. Karl, thank you for these daily thoughts over the years. I sometimes share them with others if I think they’ll find them helpful at a particular moment in time.

    Keep them coming!

    Actually, I read it each evening, and see it newly the next morning.

    Thank you. Thank you.

    1. Hi Pat, Thank you so much, Its always nice to hear from people in different time-zones etc. I am sure my sometimes gloomy observations on the weather in Ireland must seem very far from what you get in Colorado, best wishes, Karl
