Needed to share these...



The Gift of Faith Having a Place in Your Life

As a knot appears unexpectedly in a thread, so disappointment blocks the smoothness of life. If a few deft strokes can untangle the skein, life continues evenly. But if it cannot be corrected, then it must be quietly woven into the design. Thus, the finished piece can still be beautiful...even though not as perfect as planned. ~ Anonymous



The Gift of Keeping Life's Ups and Downs in Perspective

If you want to live more, you must master the art of appreciating the little, everyday blessings of life. This is not altogether a golden world, but there are countless gleams of gold to be discovered in it. ~ Henry Alford Porter



The Gift of a Life Filled with Love

We are each of us angels with only one wing. And we can only fly by embracing each other. ~ Luciano De Creschenzo



The Gift of Making Today Your Moment in Time

Don't make the mistake of letting yesterday use up too much of today. ~ Anonymous



The Gift of Appreciating Life to its Fullest

Stoop and touch the earth, and receive its influence; touch the flower, and feel its life; face the wind, and have its meaning; let the sunlight fall on the open hand as if you could hold it. Something may be grasped from them all, invisible yet strong. It is the sense of a wider existence...wider and higher. ~ Richard Jefferies



These were shared with me thru a late-arriving birthday gift...so I wanted to share them with you.

Enjoy...

Uh-oh, Byron's on the make again.

I got it today in the mail, sent weeks ago but wasn't informed of its arrival until this weekend.
Maybe it was withheld from me for a reason??

Speaking of which, Ocean sent me fuzzy can opener handle covers for my birthday... (those were delayed, too... )...I cracked up!

Byron said:

excellent!!!!! it's a shame they didn't inform you tho...Australia Post are the same

For you, Nat..

The Gift of Appreciating Life to its Fullest

Stoop and touch the earth, and receive its influence;





touch the flower, and feel its life;




face the wind, and have its meaning;




let the sunlight fall on the open hand as if you could hold it.

You are obviously thinking of some other extraordinarily good looking and talented California photographer who takes pictures of nipples...
