I am here for Friends

About Me

If you came into my house you would know what kind of person I am as soon as you stepped in. I'm very passionate about everything I do. You would see quilts, which I make all year round, you would see books in every room. I like to reach out and grab a book wherever I am. I am into gardening big time. I grow a big variety of roses. I especially like old fashioned cabbage roses with a strong scent.I enjoy making garden art. I guess you can say I'm a hands on kind of person and must have some music when I'm creating something. I'm a loyal friend who can actually keep a secret. I'm quiet but can hold a good conversation if I'm with people who are interesting and like to discuss good books, world events,and art. I like interesting, creative, intelligent people.That pretty much sums it up about me.

If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish somewhere, you are among the top 8% of the worlds wealthy...if you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75% percent of the world....if you woke up this morning with more health then illness, you are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week...if you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of salvation, you are ahead of 500 million people in the world...if you can attend a church meeting without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death, you are more blessed than 3 billion people in the world...if you can hold your head with a smile on your face and are truly grateful, you are blessed, because the majority can, but most do not....if you can hold someone’s hand, hug them or even touch them on the shoulder, you are blessed because you can offer a loving and healing touch...if you can read this message, you are more blessed than the million who are blind. Count your blessings daily.CIRCLE OF LOVEIn reaching out a hand of love, To touch another heart; A seed of love is planted, And so the circle starts. From that tiny seed of love, A garden grows and blooms; Bringing forth a flower of hope, That shares its sweet perfume.For every time the blossom, Is passed from man to man; The circle grows much stronger, As they join hand in hand. A never ending circle, Will keep on touching hearts; As long as seeds of love still bloom, That were planted at the start. REMEMBER MESome people are always grumbling because roses have thorns. I am thankful that thorns have roses." – Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr
