quote by Anne Bradstreet

If we had no winter, the spring would not be
so pleasant.  If we did not sometimes taste
of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.

  Things to Do Today!


Smile at a stranger.

Listen to someone's heart.


Drop a coin where a child
can find it.


Learn something new, then
teach it to someone.


Tell someone you're thinking
of him or her.

Don't hold a grudge.


Don't be afraid to say, "I'm sorry."


Look a child in the eye and tell them
how great they are.


Look beyond the face of a person
and into their heart.



Make a promise and keep it.


Call someone, for no other reason
than just to say "hi."


Show kindness to an animal.


Stand up for what you believe in.


Smell the rain, feel the breeze,
listen to the wind.


Use all your senses to their fullest.


Cherish all your Today's

poem by Elaine V Hall

You're Stronger Than You Think

If the strongest tree can bow and bend
From winds that hurried by.
We cannot feel that we are weak
If we break down and cry.

Somehow the tree gets stronger
As the sun shines once again.
And so are we from tears we've cried.
Remember that my friend.

This is so cute.. Make sure you have your sound on!

more important to look ahead than to look back.
