I am so blessed to have found a beautiful
network of precious friends here on
myspace. I am thankful each day for
the joy of knowing that there is so
much love coming my way...
Every blade of grass has its angel that bends over it
and whispers, 'Grow, grow.'
Most of the shadows of this life are caused by our standing in our own sunshine.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson~
Music
I enjoy so many different types of music...
Music is refreshment for the soul.
God Bless the music makers
"Be glad of life, because it gives you the chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars."
Where beams of imagination play,
The memory's soft figures melt away.

There are so many movies I have
enjoyed...

drama.. I loved Mama Mia!! So
much fun!

They are innocent, loving, souls, and
I am blessed to call them mine!

"Did you know...that when you walk past a flower, whether it be in
somebody's garden or on a vacant hillside, the flower will always smile at you. The most polite way to respond, I've been told, is to cheerfully return the smile."

"If instead of a gem, or even a flower, we should cast the gift of a loving thought into the heart of a friend, that would be giving as the angels give."

Mistakes are part of the dues that one pays for a full life.
Welcome to my world friends...
The following quote was sent to me
by my wonderful friend Greg Jayhan, who
passed a few months ago. I feel that he
is still watching over his friends here. God
Bless You wonderful soul.
Let's take a walk along a path
that starts in the woods
and ends up in a secret garden
where the water is still,
the birds are not,
and natures animals
are not afraid of
humans.
Welcome to my garden of dreams...
It was made just for you!
I wanted this site to reflect my love of nature,
children, and the softer side of life...
Enjoy your time here, and please come back often..
Who I'd like to meet:
There are so many interesting people that I would love to
meet... Inspirational authors, poets, writers, and people from all walks of life...
I love making new friends, because each person I meet enriches my life in so many ways...
"There is no such thing in anyone's life
as an unimportant day."

I have spread my dreams beneath your feet. Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
~W.B. Yeats~
I love spring anywhere, but if I could choose I would always greet it in a garden.
In the hopes of reaching the moon men fail to see the flowers that blossom at their feet.
~Albert Schweitzer~
Life is a pure flame,
and we live by an invisible sun within us.
~Sir Thomas Brown~
There is only one person who could ever make you happy, and that person is you.
I have learned to seek my happiness by limiting my desires, rather than attempting to satisfy them.
~John Stuart Mills~
Solitude is as needful to the imagination as society is wholesome for the character.
~James Russel Lowell~
I wish we could sit down together
and have a cup of tea,
but since we can’t,
when you have this one..
I hope you’ll think of me.
When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced.
Live your life so that when you die,
the world cries and you rejoice.
~Cherokee Expression~
The recipe for beauty is to have less illusion and more Soul, to retreat from the belief of pain or pleasure in the body into the unchanging calm and glorious freedom of spiritual harmony.
Mary Baker Eddy
“By the accident of fortune
a man may rule the world for a time,
but by virtue of love and kindness
he may rule the world forever.”

Do not invite death by the error of your life, nor bring on destruction by the works of your hands; because God did not make death and does not delight in death, for God created all things that they might exist, the generative forces of the world are wholesome, there is no destructive poison in them; and the dominion of Hades is not on earth.
He's drinking for two now... Mike walks into a bar in Dublin, orders three pint of Guinness and sits in the back of the room, drinking a sip out of each one in turn. When he finishes them, he comes back to the bar and orders three more.
The bartender asks him, "you know, a pint goes flat after I draw it; it would taste better if you bought one at a time."
Mike replies, Well, you see, I have tow brothers. One is is America, the other in Australia, ad I'm here in Dublin. When we all left home, we promised that we'd drink this way to remember the days when we drank together."
Mike becomes a regular in the bar, and always drinks the same way: He orders three pints and drinks them in turn.
One day, he comes in and orders only two pints. All the other regulars notice and fall silent.
When Mike goes back to the bar for the second round, the bartender says, "Please let me offer my condolences on your great loss."
Mike looks confused for a moment, then a light dawns in his eye and he laughs. "Oh, no", he says, "everyone's fine. I've just quit drinking."
“What is Beauty? Beauty is the oneness of the finite and the Infinite. Beauty is the expression of the Infinite through man the finite. Beauty is man’s embodiment of God, the Infinite. In the material world, in the physical world, it is through Beauty that God reveals Himself.”
Thinking of you and sending my wishes that you enjoy many special moments today and always and that you have a wonderful weekend.
Blessings with Love,
Diane
