embrace the weekend... "dance as though no one is watching. love as though you've never been hurt. sing as though no one can hear you. live as though heaven is on earth."

embrace the weekend... "life is beautiful all of the time. just to be alive and perceive that beauty of life all around you and within you is the best that there is."

here comes the sun... “hope is the rainbow over the cascading brook of life, swallowed up a hundred times by the spray.”

pleasant dreams… “love is the word used to label the sexual excitement of the young, the habituation of the middle-aged, and the mutual dependence of the old.”

here comes the sun… “faith is an excitement and an enthusiasm: it is a condition of intellectual magnificence to which we must cling as to a treasure, and not squander on our way through life in the small coin of empty words, or in exact and priggish argument.“

evening thought… “for every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it. for every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it. for every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it.“

here comes the sun… “ever since then i have known that if all the values in this world are more or less questionable, the most important thing in life is kindness.”

“the essence of all beauty, i call love, the attribute, the evidence, and end, the consummation to the inward sense of beauty apprehended from without, i still call love.”

here comes the sun… life does not come with instructions on how to live, but it does come with trees, sunsets, smiles and laughter, so enjoy your day.

here comes the sun… “ the most wasted of all days is one without laughter.”

“a single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees.”

here comes the sun… “ the humble person receives praise the way a clean window takes the light of the sun. the truer and more intense the light is, the less you see of the glass.”

Today Pay It Forward! “carry out a random act of kindness, with no expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that one day, someone might do the same for you.”

pay it forward… i have a theory about the assists we get in life. only rarely can we repay those people who helped us, but we can pass that help along to others.

Pay it forward! “the Greeks needed little convincing: for them, it was clear that the soulful pursuit of paying it forward, working for the benefit of each other and future generations, provides the greatest payback of all.“

Pay it forward! “kindness doesn't just solve simple struggles. it heals the wounds we cannot see.“

Pay it forward! “gratitude is a gift, creating a cycle of giving and receiving, an endless waterfall. filling up and spilling over… perhaps not even to the giver but to someone else, to whoever crosses one’s path. it is the simple passing on of the gift.”

Pay it forward! “paying it forward can be seen as a means of rediscovering empathy – an act that goes beyond material assistance. it’s about recognizing the struggles of others and offering support, whether it’s a kind word, a thoughtful gesture, or lending a listening ear.”

Pay it forward! “constant kindness can accomplish much. as the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate.”

Pay it forward! “kindness in words creates confidence. kindness in thinking creates profoundness. kindness in giving creates love.“
