A Smile Is Worth a Thousand Words

 

 ... just smile even when life gives you no reason
to do it. It will light your heart.
I wish you my dear Friend a week full of smiles.

"The April rain, the April rain,
Comes slanting down in fitful showers,
Then from the furrow shoots the grain,
And banks are fledged with nestling flowers;
And in grey shawl and woodland bowers
The cuckoo through the April rain
Calls once again."

- Mathilde Blind - "April Rain"

 


 I wish you dear Friend a weekend with peace
and that you enjoy Mother Earth beauty.

"What is Life?
It is the flash of a firefly in the night.
It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime.
It is the little shadow
which runs across the grass
and loses itself in the sunset."
 
- Crowfoot -  Blackfoot warrior and orator

 

 I wish you dear Friend, a week full of Life
and with Peace.
With Love
Ana

"I think over again my small adventures
My fears, those small ones that seemed so big
For all the vital things I had to get and reach
And yet there is only one great thing
The only thing
To live to see the great day that dawns
And the light that fills the world."


- Unknown Inuit -

 

 ... another monday, a new week.
I wish you dear Friend, a perfect one

Reasons to Smile:

- Remember its quite true to say
       One smile is worth a dozen frowns.
- It enriches those who receive,
Without making poorer those who give.
- Among the worlds expensive things
A smile is very cheap.
- The world will seem a better place
And all because you smiled.
- And after all this my dear Friend
Just give a big one: it's Weekend



... so, I wish you a wonderful one.
And, smile dear Friend
With Love

"Only when the last tree has withered,
 and the last fish caught,
and the last river been poisoned,
will we realize we cannot eat money."

If the Birds...

The tree embraces an invisible wind
And a fairy come out flying
Waiting the messenger bird
That broke apart on the hard sky
His wings wind from Earth
Coiled upward and smooth
The tree there was with the birds resting
Waiting for the sun to fly
I was dreaming with wings
And for a brief moment, I knew the joy
For one brief moment I could fly,
And since I have no wings to fly,
I stay
Imagining how sad it would be
If birds could not fly.

 

 ... let the birds fly
 With Love
Ana

This Time Of The Year
 
The ingredients are all right here
With warmest thoughts and best wishes
Good health and happiness and cheer
To keep you smiling through the year
And if your heart has lost it's song
The gift of hope to cheer you on.
Share your love and remind
That someone, for you my Friend,
Always truly cares, and,
At this time of the end of the year.



... I wish you a great week dear friend
With Love

We're never completely in one place.
 Some part of us hangs out
On streets we barely remember,
Or converses with faces no longer familiar.
Every encounter has a beginning,
But never an ending.
Like an exquisite ecosphere,
The mind turns each raindrop into forever,
Nor does it allow one word to disappear.
Some evening, years from now,
Our lives will be bitter or sweet.
But we'll be together my Friend.



... I wish you my sweet Friend
a peaceful weekend.
With Love
Ana

"Unless each day can be looked back
upon by everyone as one in which
 we have had some fun, some joy,
 some real satisfaction, that day is a loss."



... so sweet friend Carpe diem and be happy
With Love
Ana

"Peace Is... "
Peace is a beautiful thing
Peace is laughter
Peace is love
Peace is stopping to enjoy.
World peace
Is looking at a tree
Watching a spider
build a web
Touching the world
with peace.
Peace is nature
Peace is a friend
Peace is our flag
Peace is you
Peace is me
Peace
Peace on Earth
Peace toward all men and women
and children
Peace, Amen, Amen
And in the heart of Askaban.
The answer is unfogging
War is not the answer 
Peace
Is the answer.
by Rose(age 8)New Hampshire

have a peaceful weekend
with Love
Ana
