    Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light;
    I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night

    "We cannot tell what may happen to us in the strange medley of life. But we can decide what happens in us -- how we can take it, what we do with it -- and that is what really counts in the end."

    A friend sent this to me today..xoxo,Patti

    Live each day to the fullest
    Get the most from each hour,
    each day,
    and each age of your life.
    Then you can look forward with confidence
    and back without regrets...

    Be yourself -
    but be your best self.
    Dare to be different and to follow your own star...
    and don't be afraid to be happy...

    Enjoy what is beautiful.
    Love with all of your heart and soul.
    Believe that those you love, love you.
    When you are faced with a decision,
    make that decision as wisely as possible -
    then forget it.
    The moment of absolute certainty never arrives...

    Above all, remember that God
    helps those who help themselves.
    Act as if everything depended upon you,
    and pray as if everything depended upon God.

    - S. H. Payer

    Time is too slow for those who wait,
    Too swift for those who fear,
    Too long for those who grieve,
    Too short for those who rejoice,
    But for those who love,
    time is eternity.
    ~Henry VanDyke

    Life is a miracle

    Don't let it slip away,

    Open your heart to others

    Give of yourself each day.



    See the beauty in everyone

    Regardless of where they've been,

    Some have a difficult journey

    And really need a friend.



    Share your gifts and talents

    Listen with your heart

    Do the things you dream about

    But don't have time to start.



    Pick a bouquet of flowers

    Show someone that you care,

    Be gracious and forgiving

    Life is never fair.



    Hold on to your courage

    You may need it down the road,

    We all have a cross to bear

    It could be a heavy load.



    If you practice all these things

    No matter where you roam,

    You may find both sun and rain

    But you'll never feel alone!!

    Quote of the month:

    Tim Allen, comedian, had this to say about Martha Stewart:

    "Boy, I feel safer now that she's behind bars. O.J. & Kobe are walking around; Osama Bin Laden too, but they take the one woman in America willing to cook, clean and work in the yard and haul her ass to jail."

    If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.

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


    Luciano de Crescenzo
