Quote of the Day"Happiness is a butterfly, which, when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you sit down quietly, may alight upon you." – Nathaniel HawthorneAbout Nathaniel Hawthorne The novelist Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804-1864), famous for his dense prose and allegorical undertones, is perhaps best known for The Scarlet Letter and The House of the Seven Gables. He was born in Massachusetts, and his New England upbringing permeates his work. Hawthorne achieved fame late in life: his first work, a collection of short stories, was rejected by publishers, but he continued to write even as he worked at the Salem Custom House.

Happiness does not depend on outward things, but on the way we see them -Leo Tolstoy CANCER FREE!!! April 9, 1998-April 9, 2025-I AM A SURVIVOR!!! | |
