    turn a life around

     
     
    "Too often we underestimate the power of a touch,
    a smile, a kind word, a listening ear,
    an honest compliment,
     or the smallest act of caring,
    all of which have to potential to turn a life around."
    August 23

    Quote from van Gogh

     
     " The more I think about it, the more I realize 
    there is nothing more artistic than to love others."
     
    -Vincent van Gogh 

    Quote from Monet

     

     I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers.

    For Mother's Day...

    Your Mother is always with you. She's the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street. She's the smell of certain foods you remember, flowers you pick and perfume that she wore. She's the cool hand on your brow when you're not feeling well.
    She's your breath in the air on a cold winter's day. She is the sound of the rain that lulls you to sleep, the colors of a rainbow. She is Christmas morning. Your Mother lives inside your laughter. She's crystallized in every teardrop. A mother shows every emotion .......... happiness, sadness, fear,jealousy, love, hate, anger, helplessness, excitement, joy, sorrow... and all the while, hoping and praying you will only know the good feelings in life. She's the place you came from, your first home, and she's the map you follow with every step you take.She's your first love; your first friend, even your first enemy, but nothing on earth can separate you. Not time, not space...not even death!

    " The most important thing she'd learned over the years was that there was no way to be a perfect mother and a million ways to be a good one."

    Little Poem for Mom

     

    Hundreds of dewdrops to greet the dawn,
    Hundreds of bees in the purple clover,
    Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn,
    But only one mother the wide world over.

    -George Coope

    Only one mother...

     

     

    Most of all the other beautiful things in life come by twos and threes by dozens and hundreds. Plenty of roses, stars, sunsets, rainbows, brothers, and sisters, aunts and cousins, but only one mother in the whole world.

    -Kate Douglas Wiggin

    Robert Louis Stevenson


    I will make you brooches and toys for your delight Of bird-song at morning and star-shine at night. I will make a palace fit for you and me, Of green days in forests and blue days at sea.


    ~ Robert Louis Stevenson

    Andy Rooney says...

    " For most of life, nothing wonderful happens. if you don't enjoy getting up and working and finishing your work and sitting down to a meal with family or friends, then the chances are that you're not going to be very happy. if someone bases his happiness or unhappiness on major events like a great new job, huge amounts of money, a flawlessly happy marriage or a trip to paris, that person isn't going to be happy much of the time. if, on the other hand, happiness depends on a good breakfast, flowers in the yard, a drink or a nap, then we are more likely to live with quite a bit of happiness."

    A quote from Dickens

    It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold:  when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade. 
     
    Charles Dickens

    when you're young

    "It's easy to believe in magic when you're young. Anything you couldn't explain was magic then.
     It didn't matter if it was science or a fairy tale. Electricity and elves were both infinitely mysterious and
    equally possible - elves probably more so."

    Seven to eleven is a huge chunk of life, full of dulling and forgetting...
    As our eyes grow accustomed to sight they armour themselves against wonder.
