"When the sun rises, I go to work
. When the sun goes down, I take my rest.
I dig the well from which I drink.
I farm the soil which yields my food.
I share creation. Kings can do no more."
**Chinese proverb
Do you sense the peace and contentment that can come from an appreciation of one’s place in the cosmos?
How do we get there with the complexities and pressures of our current lifestyles? Perhaps it’s a matter of becoming aware of what we truly have as opposed to what our egos believe we need. If we look closely, we may find that our ego ‘needs’ are just desires.
When you find yourself longing for something, stop and ask,
"What is missing from my life? Is it a need?
What are the essential qualities of what I seek?
How can I experience that now?"
"Try to be like the turtle -- at ease in your own shell."
***Bill Copeland
I wish you pure success in all you paths,
May you have a beautiful week ahead

Your friend,

I hope you are having a great weekend..
take care..Liz
""Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right
Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it's all right
Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it's all right
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right
It's all right""

The virtue of angels is that
they cannot deteriorate;
their flaw is that they
cannot improve. Man’s flaw
is that he can deteriorate;
and his virtue is that he can
improve.
~ The Talmud
Wishing that Angels be always watching over you!
May all your projects be abundantly blessed,
Your friend all ways

""There are three things extremely hard: steel, a diamond, and to know one's self.""
~Benjamin Franklin~
""“A diamond is a chunk of coal that is made good under pressure.”""
~Henry Kissinger~
""“Invest in the human soul. Who knows, it might be a diamond in the rough.”""
~Mary McLeod Bethune~
""“Do not judge from mere appearances; for the lift laughter that bubbles on the lip often mantles over the depths of sadness, and the serious look may be the sober veil that covers a divine peace and joy. The bosom can ache beneath diamond brooches; and many a blithe heart dances under coarse wool.”""
~Edwin Hubbel Chapin ~
""“Manners must adorn knowledge and smooth its way in the world, without them it is like a great rough diamond, very well in a closet by way of curiosity, and also for its intrinsic value; but most prized when polished”""
~ Lord Chesterfield ~
Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.
**Anais Nin
No matter what might be happening in your life right now, take a
deep breath, relax and let your thoughts be still.
Just as darkness gives way to dawn, so does despair create a new beginning.
Never allow yourself to forget that it is from the darkest moment of the
night that each new sunrise is born.
Whatever you do, you need courage.
Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong.
There are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your critics are right.
To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires some of the same courage that a soldier needs.
Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them.
**Ralph Waldo Emerson
I sincerely wish you all good things,

Your friend,

Our minds perceive and give relative value - positive and negative - to the different sides of a duality.
We usually shun the negative.
It’s important to know that you cannot eliminate the negative by focusing exclusively on the positive.
Energetically, both opposites must remain in balance.
Increase one and its opposite will also increase.
Try to be only positive and the negative within you will raise its ugly head.
"Power arises out of integrating the positive and negatives within us. From the tension that exists between the two,
we develop awareness and become more conscious and compassionate."
***Leslie Fieger - author of the Delfin Knowledge System
May you weekend be blessed with the momments of peace
and balance within yourself
never forget, that you are a true blessing , my friend.
"When I dare to be powerful, to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid."
—Audre Lorde, American writer and activist, 1934-1992
In the moment when our desire to do and be the best ,
we can grows stronger than our fear of failure -- in that solitary moment , greatness rises up within us to take command and we may dare to do the impossible.
It is in that moment that possibility is born.
In Perfect Love and Perfect Trust

"Making an issue of little things is one of the surest ways to spoil happiness. One's personal pride is felt to be vitally injured by surrender, but there is no quality of human nature so nearly royal as the ability to yield gracefully."
—~Charles Conrad
American Senator, `1841-1843
Sometimes the sweetest victory is found in simply overcoming the need to be right.
May you be blessed today!
And may you also be aware
that you are loved beyond measure
and a cherished blessing to me.
With deep love and great respect

"The fact that I can plant a seed
and it becomes a flower, share a bit
of knowledge and it becomes
another's, smile at someone and
receive a smile in return, are to me continual
spiritual exercises."
~ Leo Buscaglia, American author and teacher
With that thought in mind,
may your soul
get a daily workout
and may your spirit
be richly nourished.
Stay happy and keep being yourself
With Warmth and Light,
Your friend

"Do what makes you happiest. Look upon what gives you joy. Speak to those who warm your heart. Listen to that which lifts your spirit.
Surround yourself with sights and sounds and people who give you pleasure. For all the happiness you give to others all year long, give yourself the perfect day."
~ instructions from a very wise being
Choosing to believe that all things happen
in the best possible time, however, I consoled myself by trusting that it was simply yesterday's timing that was off, and today's launch, like the potential for this day, is perfect. I hope you agree.
May you also be aware that you are loved beyond measure
and a cherished blessing to me,
Your friend
**~RaK~**

Just put thoughts to rest and don't seek outwardly anymore.
When things come up, then give them your attention;
just trust what is functional in you at present,
and you have nothing to be concerned about.
~ Linji (d.867?)
May you be blessed today with all things good,
Your friend,
~**RaK**~
Beginning today and every day forward, remember that you are, without a doubt, the most beautiful, brilliant and blessed child on the face of this earth. After all, your mother recognized these traits in you the moment you were born. And Mother always knows best.
May you be blessed with all things good,
Your friend,

"Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to
go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state
and remain in it. This is a kind of death."
~Anais Nin
French writer
"Looking back, I have this to regret, that too often when I loved, I did not say so."
