"The beautiful in life...

Some talk of it in poetry,
Some grow it from the soil,
Some build it in a steeple,
Some show it through their toil.
Some breathe it into music,
Some mold it into art,
Some shape it into bread loaves...
Some hold it in their hearts."

-- Bernard Meltzer.

"I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the community, and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. Life is no 'brief candle" to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for a moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations." -- George Bernard Shaw

"If you live for love you spread kindness and compassion everywhere you go. When you stop believing in your heart you are but a sterile vessel wandering in the wilderness." -- Francis Hegmeyer

"People say that what we're all seeking is a meaning for life... I think that what we're really seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonance within our innermost being and reality, so that we can actually feel the rapture of being alive." -- Joseph Campbell

"Each of us is meant to have a character all our own, to be what no other can exactly be, and do what no other can exactly do." -- William Ellery Channing

"The ideals which have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Kindness, Beauty, and Truth..." -- Albert Einstein

"Use those talents you have. You will make it. You will give joy to the world. Take this tip from nature: The woods would be a very silent place if no birds sang except those who sang best." -- Bernard Meltzer.

THINGS TO REMEMBER Your presence is a present to the world. You're unique and one of a kind. Your life can be what you want it to be. Take the days just one at a time. Count your blessings, not your troubles. You'll make it through whatever comes along. Within you are so many answers. Understand, have courage, be strong. Don't put limits on yourself. So many dreams are waiting to be realized. Decisions are too important to leave to chance. Reach for your peak, your goal, and your prize. Nothing wastes more energy than worrying. The longer one carries a problem, the heavier it gets. Don't take things too seriously. Live a life of serenity, not a life of regrets. Remember that a little love goes a long way. Remember that a lot of love goes forever. Remember that friendship is a wise investment. Life's treasures are people -- together. Realize that nothing is ever too late. Do ordinary things in an extraordinary way. Have health and hope and happiness. Take the time to wish upon a star. And don't ever forget -- for even a day how very special you are. .....unknown

Count Your Garden Count your garden By the flowers ... Never by the leaves that fall. Count your days By golden hours ... Don't remember clouds at all. Count your nights by stars ... Not shadows. Count your years with smiles ... Not tears. Count your blessings ... Not your troubles. Count your age by friends ... Not years. ~ Author Unknown ~

Take One More Look When you're down and you're out, and things don't go your way, When life is a problem and you can't seem to pray, When there's bitterness, resentment, hatred and shame, Just say one more prayer--God is calling your name. If you're under much stress, sorrow, grief, or despair, When the world's coming down and no one seems to care, When love has departed, and it is more than you can bare, Just take one more look--God is standing right there. When you're just giving up and don't want to go on, And nothing makes sense there's no joy and no down, When your burdens are more than you think you can stand, Then open your eyes--God is holding your hand. And with Him beside you He'll lighten your way, Bringing hope to your future with every new day. All He asks is to listen and watch out for Him there. and when you're least expecting, He'll answer that prayer. God's given you this day to be happy and live. And if you'll accept it, He's much more to give. Now take one more look at this life that's a chore, Turn around, walk with Jesus--He's opened the door! Author Unknown
