experience can instill in us.

As we look deeply within, we understand our perfect balance. There is no fear of the cycle of birth, life and death. For when you stand in the present moment, you are timeless.

May flowers always line your path and

sunshine light your day.

May songbirds serenade you every

step along the way.

May a rainbow run beside you

in a sky that's always blue.

And may happiness fill your heart

each day your whole life through.

~Irish Blessing~

You will find as you look back upon your life
that the moments when you have really lived
are the moments when you have done things
in a spirit of love.

We live in deeds, not years;

in thoughts,

not figures on a dial.

We should count time

sense to make
of things.

Take time to Think.
It is the source of Power.

Take time to Play.
It is the secret to perpetual Youth.

Take time to be Friendly.
It is the road to Happiness.

Take time to Work.
It is the price of Success.

Take time to Pray.
It is the greatest power on Earth.

Take time to Love and be Loved.
It is the way of God.

and ask, "Where have I gone wrong?"

"It's snowing still," said Eeyore gloomily.

"So it is."



"And freezing." "Is it?"

"Yes," said Eeyore.



"However," he said,

brightening up a little,

By Claire Rayner

I was taught these
words by my grandmother
as a phrase that is to be used at
all times in your life.

When things are spectacularly dreadful;
when things
are absolutely appalling;
when everything is superb and wonderful
and
marvellous and happy -

say these four words to yourself.

They will give you a sense of perspective
and help you also to make
the most of what is good
and be stoical about what is bad.

This too will pass

Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life, and when it comes, hold your head high. Look it squarely in the eye, and say, "I will be bigger than you. You cannot defeat me."
