 Embracing Life ~ Linda L. Dowd ~ Reeling images, from long ago, Are cascading thru' my mind, Pictures perfect, in retrospect, ~Memories intertwined. I pay no heed to pains of past, Nor to regrets or sorrows, For they'd impinge upon todays, And darken my tomorrows. I fill my mind with pleasant thoughts, So memories bring me smiles. By adding joy to days to come, I can bravely face my trials. One's attitude, if positive, Takes everything in stride. Life’s oyster may be full of grit, But a pearl lies deep inside. With every storm that comes our way, There’s a rainbow ‘round the bend. Fill yourself with the glorious Light, And embrace life to The End. “We are borne of star dust, and to the stars we shall one day return.” ~ Linda L. Dowd [This message has been edited by Earth Angel (08-23-2006 11:56 PM).] |

"Life’s oyster may be full of grit, But a pearl lies deep inside." I love it! Well done! More!  Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. |

 (smiles) Yay, and every night before we fall asleep, especially when it feels as though the whole world is revolving around us and can leave one high-strung, let us all cuddle up in our technicolor pajamas and dream the sweetest of dreams and then walk the world dreaming to live them like lovesick lephrechauns, yay! (giggles) This is a most beautifully optimistic feel-good rhyme, sweet friend, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other" |

And yet life seems to be better this way To live in a kind of ignorance to the reality of your past That way you can look back and say it was lovely I think I’ll try to not think so much of what was good then Maybe I’ll live more in the present and find out what’s good now two views both good enough. I am the two-toed wanderer |

Excellent advice. And A wonderful attitude to try to keep. I'll try, but when I think back I so miss the people who filled my life and are no longer with us. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |
