Words for life's journey

"As we grow older in life, years somehow seem to shorten and New Year's Day approaches with an ever increasing tempo.

 The more mature we get, the more we realize that time is only relative; how we live means more than how long we live.  We do not live by years, but by days.

In His wisdom God does not show us all that lies ahead. So we enter a new year to live it day by day. What is past is past. Today we start anew, and what we do today will make our life for tomorrow.

 Chin up, shoulders straight, eyes agleam, let us salute the New Year, and each day let us follow more faithfully, more courageously, more daringly the lead of our great Captain who bids us follow Him."

  William Thomson Hanzsche

Happy New Year!

Merry CHRISTmas...

Words of wisdom from the grinch.........

“And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.”

Theodor Seuss Geisel (1904-1991); Writer, Cartoonist, Animator

Gifts that do not cost a cent!

1) THE GIFT OF LISTENING...
But you must REALLY listen.
No interrupting, no daydreaming,
no planning your response.
Just listening.
 
2) THE GIFT OF AFFECTION...
Be generous with appropriate hugs,
kisses, pats on the back and handholds.
Let these small actions demonstrate the
love you have for family and friends.
 
3) THE GIFT OF A WRITTEN NOTE...
It can be a simple "Thanks for the help" note.
A brief, handwritten note may be remembered
for a lifetime, and may even change a life.
 
4) THE GIFT OF A COMPLIMENT...
A simple and sincere,
"You look great in red," "You did a super job"
or "That was a wonderful meal"
can make someone's day.
 
5) THE GIFT OF A FAVOR...
Every day, go out of your way
to do something kind.
 
6) THE GIFT OF SOLITUDE...
There are times when we want nothing better,
than to be left alone.
Be sensitive to those times and give the gift
of solitude to others.
 
7) THE GIFT OF A CHEERFUL DISPOSITION...
The easiest way to feel good is
to extend a kind word to someone,
really it's not that hard to say,
Hello or Thank You.

And don’t forget to smile!
