Cultivo una rosa blanca
En julio como en enero,
Para el amigo sincero
Que me da su mano franca.
Y para el cruel que me arranca
El corazon con que vivo,
Cardo ni ortiga cultivo,
Cultivo una rosa blanca.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I cultivate a white rose
In July as in January
For the sincere friend
Who gives me his hand frankly.And for the cruel person who tears out
the heart with which I live,
I cultivate neither nettles nor thorns:
I cultivate a white rose._______________

~ OUR PATHWAY ~We all have to thread our own pathway
So we reach the destination meant for us
We can only be who we are
We can only be true to our own selfThis world of ours is vast & varied
We only know what we experience
Each of us is given the will to live
Our inner self to guide us on our wayOn the pathway we choose to thread
We will meet many wonderful sights
Sometimes we may encounter barren bits
But we will thread on to pastures newTo your own self always be true
Thread the pathway meant for you
Always keep your head held high
Keep your eyes opened & learn as you go....

Make Me an Instrument of Your PeaceLord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love,
Where there is injury, pardon
Where there is doubt, faith,
Where there is despair, hope,
Where there is darkness, light,
Where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much
seek to be consoled as to console,
not so much to be understood as to understand,
not so much to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
it is in dying that we awake to eternal life.- St. Francis of Assisi

I will live through the next 24 hours and not try to tackle all of life's problems at once.I will improve my mind. I will learn something useful. I will learn something that requires effort, thought, and concentration.I will be agreeable. I will look my best, speak in well-modulated voice, be courteous and considerate.I will not find fault with friend, relative or colleague. I will not try to change or improve anyone other than myself.I will have a program. I might not follow it exactly, but I will have it. I will save myself from two enemies, hurry and indecision.I will do a good deed and keep it secret. If anyone finds out, it won't count.I will do two things I don't want to do, just for exercise.I will believe in myself. I will give my best to the world and feel confident that the world will give its best to me. *********************************************** Rock,R&B, Jazz, Salsa,Country, Classical, I guess I just like music, all kinds.

Inspiration Words of Wisdom*~Mother Teresa~*People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies. Succeed anyway.If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you. Be honest and frank anyway.What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight. Build anyway.If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous. Be happy anyway.The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow. Do good anyway.Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough. Give the world the best you've got anyway.You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.

If I were to pick one person it would have to be my Grandmother "Zoila" for having the courage and stength to start over in a new country oh so many years ago. And the love that she always gave me.
