The Good Things in Life; Give Thanks for Them.

"Just living is not enough.

One must have Sunshine,

Freedom,

and a little Flower."

Hans Christian Anderson

that's Joyful Sensing

"If the sight of the blue skies

fills you with joy,

 if a blade of grass springing up in the fields

has power to move you,

if the simple things of nature

have a message that you understand,

rejoice,

 for your soul is alive."

Eleonora Duse

We Can End Hunger

"Most of our citizenry believes that hunger only affects people who are lazy

or people who are just looking for a handout, people who don't want to work,

but, sadly, that is not true.

Over one-third of our hungry people are innocent children

who are members of households that simply cannot provide

enough food or proper nutrition."

Erin Brockovich

Giving Back To Society

"Don't judge each day

by the harvest you reap

but by the seeds that you plant."

and take without forgetting."

~ Lighter and Freer ~

“A cloud does not know why it moves in

just such a direction and at such a speed

...It feels an impulsion...this is the place to go now.

But the sky knows the reasons

and the patterns behind all clouds,

and you will know, too,

when you lift yourself high enough

to see beyond horizons.”

Richard Bach

Missing You ...

"Don't cry

because it's over,

smile

because it happened."
