MinneaPaula Voice Over Actor

I tried posting these on Thursday, but they never showed up.

Halloween at work.

Another Halloween snowstorm

Stopped at a light behind this car. I agree. You have got to be a nutcase to drive that thing!

When I got to work this morning, out the window of one side was the moon and out the window of the other side was the sun

"One of my favorite places on earth is a grove that sits on the Guadalupe River. It’s a peaceful place. And trees, oh the trees. They weather the winters, they celebrate the summers. They’re all bent, no perfect tree. Even so, they provide the perfect place to find peace.
Humanity is like that grove of trees. Though we attempt to stand tall, none of us succeed. We all twist and turn. We are a collection of bent timber, and that’s okay. There is beauty in our bentness.
So enjoy the Society of the Bent Timber. Cut people some slack. Reduce your number of pet peeves, be patient with people who pet them. The world, for all its quirky people, is a wonderful place to live. And the sooner we can find the beauty, the happier will be. This is how happiness happens."

"There is a way the world should be run. And when others behave in ways we don’t like, we call that a pet peeve. Not a colossal divide or a legal violation, just a pet peeve.

You know, joy is such a precious commodity. Why squander it on a quibble? The phrases we use regarding our pet peeves reveal the person who actually suffers. He “gets under my skin” or “gets on my nerves” or she is such a “pain in my neck.” Whose skin, nerves, and neck? Ours! Who suffers? We do! Every pet peeve writes a check on our joy account.

For this reason the apostle Paul said, “Be patient, bearing with one another in love” (Ephesians 4:2). The patient person sees all the peculiarities of the world. But rather than react, he bears with them. And this is how happiness happens."
