KEEPING LOVE AND PLEASURE ALIVE

Paul Newman's quote below, from an Oscar night memorial, says so much. I have often said that the difference between people is that some are working on themselves and some are not. Paul's quote tells us what the results of working on ourselves leads to.

Pleasure and love are the essence of life, and if you do the work necessary to clear away the baggage and debris accumulated over any number of years of living within the confines of a character structure, you arrive to pleasure and love.

To have seen Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward from a distance over the years was to see two people who've apparently kept pleasure and love alive in their lives. Their relationship has always been an inspiration to me.
