Out and About as we go "Dark" 4 the Week.....

 As we go dark in our properties for the week, we are pleased to leave you with this compilation of thoughts courtesy of Jonathan Lockwood Huie as we wish all a great week ahead and say, Happy Halloween:



Until you're ready to look foolish, you'll never have
the possibility of being great.
- Cher

There's something liberating about not pretending.
Dare to embarrass yourself. Risk.
- Drew Barrymore

With courage you will dare to take risks,
have the strength to be compassionate,
and the wisdom to be humble.
Courage is the foundation of integrity.
- Keshavan Nair

People do not wish to appear foolish.
To avoid the appearance of foolishness,
they are willing to remain actually fools.
- Alice Walker

All Life is a risk - even crossing the street, or sitting in your easy chair.
So relax, don't worry, and live the most productive and enjoyable life you can.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
