Did I make the most of loving you?
So many things we didn’t do.
Did I give you all my heart could give?
Two unlived lives with lives to live.
When these endless, lonely days are through,
I’ll make the most of loving you.
I’ll make the most of loving you.
From Downtown Abbey, composer- John Lunn, lyrics – Don Black 
Sung by Mary Jess

Counting the minutes until we are together again…

Elegance is a question of personality, more than one’s clothing. – Jean Paul Gaultier

Admiration turned to reverence for the fashion icon Jean Paul Gaultier – for his esprit de vie, creative genius, haute couture masterpieces, extravagant embellishments, and respect for personal freedoms of both men and women.

Except for the medieval codpiece and the bra, garments have never had a gender.

She is a woman whose life is crowded with not-unpleasant errands and with the entrapment of fragrant, familiar, and sometimes enchanting items, all of which possess a reassuring, measurable weight and volume.
from Dying For Love in Dressing Up For The Carnival by Carol Shields

I would rather crowd my life with love…

Wabi sabi art is a distillation of their [the monks’] humble efforts to try and express, in a physical form, their love of a life balanced against the sense of serene sadness that is life’s inevitable passing. 
from wabi sabi, the japanese art of impermanence by Andrew Juniper

Perhaps I find the burst of blossoms so beautiful because it will not last.

I don’t think I’ve been in love, but I’ve been loved
– by a couple of them, but they weren’t the right ones.
from Three Tall Women by Edward Albee 

I always thought I would find the right one, but now I’m not so sure.

Dark are my eyes and hair, and my breast is white as snow,
But never a mortal may see how fair … I am fleeter than the roe.
from the poem Echo by Lucy Maud Montgomery

I love the exquisite silk organza flowers jumbled at the waist that give way to a full flouncy skirt.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover. – Mark Twain

Take me with you – I will make a good first mate.
