Hi Lou :)

I enjoy them and look forward to them. What titbit does she have for us today, I think.

Do you know that if you even make a smiley face the endomorphins are released, nature's anesthetic and mood booster. Of course if there is the pleasure of something to smile about or laugh at or somebody to smile to or laugh with, so much the better.

People around here are rather po faced, more than they were 30years ago. You'd think it cost.

Thank you !

Clare

[wingspirit]

Thanks Clare

I agree with you.

But the riches treasures that anyone has is the ability to smile. I will do my best to continue.

I came across this this poem and would like to share it with you. Hope you enjoy it.

BE THE BEST OF WHATEVER YOU ARE
Author: Douglas Maloch

If you can't be a pine on the top of the hill,
Be a scrub in the valley-but be
The best little scrub by the side of the hill;
Be a bush if you can't be a tree.
If you can't be a bush be a bit of the grass,
And some highway happier make;
If you can't be a muskie then just be a bass-
But the lieveliest bass in the lake!
We can't all be captains, we've got to be crew,
There's something for all of us here,
There's big work to do, and there's lesser to do,
And the task you must do is the near.
If you can't be a highway then just be a trail,
If you can't be the sun be a star:
It isn't by size that you win or you fail-
Be the best of whatever you are!

:rose:

Have a wonderful day all

Dance like nobody's watching;
Love like you've never been hurt.
Sing like nobody's listening
Live like it's heaven on earth.




Faith ..

When you come to the end of all the light you know and you are about to step off into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing one of two things will happen: there will be something solid to stand on or you will be taught how to fly.

Nancy

[Clare.T]

My pick of the week is

"Change your thoughts and you change your world."


I think there's a lot of truth in that. I quite often get in a dismal mind set and negative thought patterns that can easily become habitual. They serve no useful purpose just make me unhappy with myself, eat away my soul sap my energies and encourage the same in others, a vicious circle.
