Love is a wonderful gift. It's a present so precious words can barely begin to describe it. Love is a feeling. the deepest and sweetest of all. It's incredibly strong and amazingly gentle at the very same time. It is a blessing that should be counted every day. It is nourishment for the soul. It is devotion, constantly letting each person know how supportive it's certainty can be. Love is a heart filled with affection for the most important person in your life. Love is looking at the special someone who makes your world go around and absolutely loving what you see. Love gives meaning to one's world and magic to a million hopes and dreams. It makes the morning shine more brightly and each season seem like it's the nicest one anyone ever had. Love is an invaluable bond that enriches every good thing in life. It gives each hug a tenderness, each heart a happiness, each spirit a steady lift. Love is an invisible connection that is exquisitely felt by those who know the joy, feel the warmth, share the sweetness, and celebrate the gift! "
Our creations are an affirmation of life.whatever form they take, they are the legacy we leave, reflecting the most poignant moments of our short time here. All I know is that the only thing we can share, and the only thing we own, is that split second of time that slips between our fingers, that breathtaking moment of life called now.
When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.~~
Some people come into our lives & disappear soon after, like a flash of lightening. Others stay a little while longer & a select few share our life/lives.Whether they come into our life for a reason, a season or a lifetime, they all touch us in one way or another so much so that even a chance encounter can change our lives for we are never, ever the same, whoever they are ... they all touch our spirit."~
Every day, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to be alive, I have a precious life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others; to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am going to benefit others as much as I can.― Dalai Lama XIV
Most of us have had moments in childhood when we touched the divine presence. We did not think it extraordinary because it wasn't; it was just a beautiful moment filled with love. In those simple moments our hearts were alive, and we saw the poignant beauty of life vividly with wonder and appreciation~
Life is a mystery to be lived, not a puzzle to be solved. Rather than trying to figure it all out, let the mystery unfold and prepare to be delighted. .... Kindness is the most precious gift you can offer to yourself and to others. It is the one thing that can transform our world from the inside out.. Love does not just fall from the sky, perfect and intact. It has to be made anew, reaffirmed and remembered in every moment. **** Each day brings a new opportunity to be grateful. Being alive is such a precious gift, there is so much to be thankful for. Say yes to life! *Life never follows a straight line, so be prepared for all the bumps, detours, uphill climbs and downward slopes and enjoy the scenery as you go..... Arms are made for hugging and holding and caring. Lips are made for smiling and laughing and kissing. So have a fun and joyful day!.. You cannot always choose what will happen in life but you can choose to respond with fear or love, anger or with acceptance. So choose wisely!... Celebrate today for no other reason than you are alive. You are a living, breathing, walking miracle!... Rejoice in the magic of your own existence.~Let love sing loud! Let it dance and reach out and smile and share itself. There is always room for more love, never a place where it is not needed.~
♥ Believe in your dreams. Believe in today. Believe that you are loved. Believe that you make a difference. Believe we can build a better world. Believe when others might not. Believe theres a light at the end of the tunnel. Believe that you might be that light for someone else. Believe that the best is yet to be. Believe in each other. Believe in yourself.
"Take hold of your own life.
See that the whole existence is celebrating.
These trees are not serious, these birds are not serious.
The rivers and the oceans are wild,
and everywhere there is fun,
everywhere there is joy and delight.
Watch existence,
listen to the existence and become part of it."
Think of the rolling waves of the vasts oceans, of the warm sun rays. Think of the wet grass, the flowers perfume, the birds singing, the joy, or the pain people feel and experience.

Every morning is a fresh beginning. Every day is the world made new. Today is a new day. Today is my world made new. I have lived all my life up to this moment, to come to this day.

Sometimes in your life, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life,and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible~
A good motivation is what is needed: compassion without dogmatism, without complicated philosophy; just understanding that others are human brothers and sisters and respecting their human rights and dignities. That we humans can help each other is one of our unique human capacities.
The Dalai Lama
I always enjoy the quotes you share with us Larry.
I have a song, deep in my heart,and only I can hear it.If I close my eyes and sit very still it is so easy to listen to my song.Everyone in the whole world has a special heartsong.If you believe in magical, musical hearts.And if you believe you can be happy
Then you, too, will hear your song.
"Peace is present right here and now, in ourselves and in everything we do and see. Every breath we take, every step we take, can be filled with peace, joy, and serenity. The question is whether or not we are in touch with it. We need only to be awake, alive in the present moment." Thich Nhat Hanh
If a child smiles, if an adult smiles, that is very important. If in our daily lives we can smile, if we can be peaceful and happy, not only we, but everyone will profit from it. If we really know how to live, what better way to start the day than with a smile? Our smile affirms our awareness and determination to live in peace and joy. The source of a true smile is an awakened mind.
― Thich Nhat Hanh
Gratitude is the confidence in life itself... As gratitude grows it gives rise to joy. We experience the courage to rejoice in our own good fortune and in the good fortune of others... We can be joyful for people we love, for moments of goodness, for sunlight and trees, and for the very breath within our lungs. Like an innocent child, we can rejoice in life itself, in being alive. --Jack Kornfield

Each day is a new opportunity to live your life to the fullest. In each waking day, you will find scores of blessings and opportunities for positive change.. Today is a new day! ~
If the day and night be such that you greet them with joy, and life emits a fragrance like flowers and sweet-scented herbs, is more elastic, more immortal - that is your success. All nature is your congratulation, and you have cause momentarily to bless yourself. ~Henry David Thoreau, Walden
