I've travelled the world twice over
Met the famous: saints and sinner,
Poets and artists, kings and queens,
Old stars and hopeful beginners,
I've been where no one's been before,
Learned secrets from writers and cooks
All with one library ticket
To the wonderful world of books.

~ Janice James

WHO HAS SEEN THE WIND?

Who has seen the wind?
Neither I nor you:
But when the leaves hang trembling,
The wind is passing through.

Who has seen the wind?
Neither you nor I:
But when the trees bow down their heads,
The wind is passing by.

~ Christina Rossetti (1830 - 1894) English poet

How Did You Spend Mother's Day?

In a little book, Precious Solitude, the author describes our inner sense of knowing what to do.

Affirmations that can change your life:

I deserve to take time for me today.
I have all the time I need to do the important things in my life and still have time for me.
I am worthy of my own special time to do in it whatever I wish.

~Ruth Fishel, Precious Solitude, Adams Media Corporation, 1999

Happy Mother's Day ~

"The heart hath its own memory,
like the mind,
and in it are enshrined
the precious keepsakes
into which is wrought
the giver's loving thought."

~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807 - 1882)
