 Life ends when u stop dreaming,
Hope ends when u stop believing,
Love ends when u stop caring,
Relationship ends when u stop sharing.

 

I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has

come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time;

the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year,

when men and women seem by one consent to open their

shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them

as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave,

and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys.  

~Charles Dickens

 The value of a life is best measured
not by the years spent accumulating possessions,
but by the moments spent giving of one's self -
sharing wisdom,
inspiring hope,
wiping tears and touching hearts...

Experience the overwhelming richness and wonder of the
beautiful reality that spreads out in every direction. Let
go of any expectations, judgments or analyses, and allow
yourself to peacefully experience it all as it comes to you.

For a little while, set aside your planning, organizing,
adjusting and responding, and give yourself time to simply
experience and enjoy. The moments spent in pure enjoyment,
free of guilt, anxiety or expectations, will add richness to
your life in ways that nothing else can.

Take some time to let yourself experience pure,
unconditional joy. Bring more fully to life the joyful
treasure that is life itself.

~ Ralph Marston~
