"The Gift Of Friends"
There are days
when bubbling from us
comes the innocent child within,
who giggles at the little things
and wears a silly grin.
There are days when
melancholy comes to
visit for a while;
the mind feels tired,
the body weak;
we have no strength to smile.
There are days when
joy abundant grabs a hold
of you and me;
wraps us up in all it's splendor,
lifts us up and sets us free.
There are days when
sorrow wraps us
in its cloak of grief and fear,
'till our hearts ache to the breaking,
'till our eyes can't shed a tear.
There are days when
love bestows us
with its wonderment and light;
with its beauty and its mystery,
its power and its might.
And there are days when
life rewards us
and seems to make amends
by granting us a marvelous gift,
the precious gift of Friends.
I'd like to meet:
~Beauty of a Woman~
The beauty of a woman
is not in the clothes she wears
The figure she carries
or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman
must be seen from her eyes
Because that is the doorway
to her heart
The place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman
is not in a facial mole
But true beauty in a woman
is reflected in her soul.
It is the caring
that she lovingly gives
The passion that she shows.
The beauty of a woman
With passing years --
only grows.
Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is a beauty, admire it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is life, fight for it"!

"MAY WE ALWAYS
STAY STRONG"!!!
What's so poignant about this picture? -
it shows a line of little girls holding hands facing
the immensity of ocean waves.
Alone they might be washed away,
but together they stand strong.
Thank you each for holding my hand
somewhere along the way
when I was facing a wave of my own.
I hope you will reach for my hand
when your own wave threatens.
Fear less, hope more;
whine less, breathe more;
talk less, say more;
love more, and all good
things will be yours.

"If we had no winter,
the spring
would not be so pleasant:
if we did not
sometimes taste of adversity,
prosperity would not be so welcome".

Cultivate a friendship
As you do a garden bed;
Nourish feed and watch
it grow...
With help and nice things said.
Smile...
it's like the sunshine
Needed for the flowers...
Loving hands
to tend and care...
Soft rains
and sun-filled hours.
Little hurts are like weeds...
That come between the rows;
Pull and cast them out
before
The beautiful friendship goes.
Be proud
of your well tended garden...
And proud
of a good friend too...
All the work
you put into them
Will come straight back to you.
Don't neglect your garden...
Or the good friends
that you know...
Don't let a single day go by...
Keep trying...
Both will grow.

Hard things...
are put in our way...
not to stop us...
but...
to call out our courage and strength.
Books:
Remember...
you reap...
what you sow...
What you put into the lives
of others...
comes back into your own.
Be who you are
say what you feel
because those who mind
don't matter...
and those who matter
don't mind!!!
~ Dr. Seuss ~
Heroes:
