"All the world's a stage",
As Shakespeare once did claim,
And we're the players on it,
Seeking fortune, love, and fame.

"All the world's a stage",
We each play several roles.
The acts, they number seven,
From birth, 'til death bell tolls.

"All the world's a stage".
And life is but a dream,
So sip of its sweet nectar,
And skim off all the cream.

Dear Linda, may we play well our roles.
That's so lovely and so true. We must not always think that this is a valley of tears!
Love and hugs. Margherita

Your name is in season! lol

I graciously accept the roses! Toss away! I am especially fond of pale yellow ones at this time! They keep my spirit aloft and happy! Yellow is such a joyful colour!

When I think of you, my special friend, I think of the colour yellow!

Special thank-you hugs,
Linda

Yay! Awwwwwwww, yellow is my second favorite color of all behind just turquoise, because yellow is such a happy-go-lucky color, and when the sun and a smiley-face are both yellow, it has to be a happy color! Pink is also one of my favorite colors, and I know many would find that silly because I'm male, but I'm not ashamed to admit how pink makes me smile!



Have a wonderful yellow day, sweet friend!



Love,
Noah Eaton

Noah ~

I love turquoise as well! It is the colour of spirit! I wear lots of authentic turquoise jewelry made by native American Indians! I also have Tibetan pieces crafted by master jewelers of  Kathmandou!  

I have both Mother Earth and Father Sky pieces!

Linda Lou, have I told you lately
that I love you and your Spirit?
You are a ray of sunshine on a dark
cloudy day, my friend.

Ethel Mae ~

Oh, my! You are too kind! ~ Well, in my books, no one can actually ever be "too" kind because I can never get enough kindness! Kindness makes the world ~ and me! ~ glow with happiness! Thank you, Dear Heart. I saved this reply so that I may revisit it whenever I need some sunshine to brighten a dark, cloud day!

May you continue to rise and shine!

Linda
