Simply Generously Deeply Kindly

 Sarasota Bay, Florida 03/2010

Live simply

 Love generously

Care deeply

And speak kindly

The Serenity Prayer

God grant me the Serenity

to accept the things

I cannot change,

Courage to change the things I can,

And Wisdom to know the difference

Counting You Twice

When I count

my blessings,

I count you twice

Words To Live By

It's not how much you accomplish in life

that really counts,

but how much you give to others

It's not how high you build your dreams

that makes a difference,

but how high your faith can climb

It's not how many goals you reach,

but how many lives you touch

It's not who you know that matters,

but who you are inside

Believe in the impossible,

hold tight to the incredible,

and live each day to its fullest potential

You can make a difference

in your world

                                                                  ~ Rebecca Barlow Jordan ~

Miracles Happen

When you speak

 from your heart

and say the words

 your soul has dared to whisper

That's when miracles happen...

Footprints

Some people come into our lives and quickly go

 Some stay for a while,

leave footprints on our hearts,

 and we are never,

ever the same

                                                                                   ~Flavia Weedn

Living and Giving

We make a living by what we get...

... but we make a life by what we give

                                                                                                                                             - Norman MacEswan

You

“Don't cry because it's over

   Smile because it happened”

                                                                                  - Dr Seuss

Hope

  

 "Hope is the companion of power,

and mother of success;

 for who so hopes strongly

 has within him the gift of miracles"

                                                         ~ Samuel Smiles

Dance Like Nobody's Watching...

Dance like nobody's watching;

love like you've never been hurt

Sing like nobody's listening;

live like it is heaven on earth

                                                               -Mark Twain

Just How Special

Take this and

put it someplace special

so every time you look

at it, you will remember

just how special you are...

and just how much

you mean to me

                                                               Ashley Rice

What Lies Behind Us

what lies behind us

and what lies before us

are tiny matters

compared to

what lies within us

                                                 - Emerson

Den draumen me ber på

at noko vedunderleg skal skje,

at det må skje -

at tidi skal opna seg,

at hjarta skal opna seg,

at dører skal opna seg,

at berget skal opna seg,

at kjeldor skal springa -

at draumen skal opna seg,

at me ei morgonstund

skal glida inn

på ein våg me ikkje har visst um

                                                                   - Olav H Hauge
