Reasons Why I Love Logan

Grandparents who love and dote on their grandkids.
Cousins for my children to play with.
The Pumpkin Walk in North Logan
Tiny spicy chicken at Mandarin Garden
Spending time with family
Having time to read Mockingjay (who blogged about this book?? I want to read reviews after I am finished reading it.)
Actually having the internet for a few days, since my monitor is still at the computer doctors.

I was going to list more things, but I can hear people upstairs having fun without me. I'm outta here!

Cynthia said...: I loved my time in Logan so much that I named my boy Logan. And you totally pass the test because you mentioned the 'Tiny Spicy Chicken' at Mandarin Garden- only REAL Logan lovers know about that!

I would add 'I love getting chocolate malts at the 1910 soda fountain in the Bluebird Cafe' to the list!; October 24, 2010 at 5:37 PM

Fiauna said...: There are so many things I miss about Logan this time of year--the Pumpkin Walk included ( I was visiting Logan over the weekend and almost went there myself). I always miss Cache Valley until April or May, and then I'm happy to be living on the Wasatch Front.; October 27, 2010 at 8:40 PM

It is a waste of time and energy to worry about what others are thinking about you. because... You can never know exactly what another person is thinking...AND, the wost part is...they are usually not thinking about you at all. They are too busy worrying about what others are thinking about them. So, the truth is, all those terrible thoughts you thought they might be thinking about you, are your own thoughts about yourself. Better spend your energy worrying about that...or, you just might convince somebody to think what you were afraid they might be thinking after all. ~Portia Nelson

"When we honestly ask which persons in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving much advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not-knowing, not-curing, not-healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness ... makes it clear that whatever happens in the external world, being present to each other is what really matters." ~Henri Nouwen

"...People need to talk, and often a willingness to sit and listen is the greatest kindness one person can offer to another. One of the first lessons of childhood is to be wary of strangers, and while this is good counsel to guard against the world's very small nefarious element, it also teaches us to block out the large majority of those who just have something on their mind they'd like to say. We are taught to be suspicious, especially of anyone who might not look like us or share our beliefs. By the time we reach adulthood, many have perfected the art of isolation, of being careful, of not listening in the name of safety. But the truth is that we need to hear other people, all people, especially in those moments when we don't know exactly where we're going ourselves." ~Ann Patchett

"Sometimes, I imagine my own life as a series of snapshots taken by some omniscient artist who is just keeping track - not interfering or saying anything, just capturing the moment for me to look back at it again later....This is the way it is, the photograph says, and I nod my head in appreciation. The power of art is in that nod of appreciation, though sometimes I puzzle nothing out, and the nod is more a shrug. No, I do not understand this one, but I see it. I take it in. I will think about it. If I sit with this image long enough, this story, I have the hope of understanding something I did not understand before. And that, too, is art, the best art." ~Dorothy Allison
