Hi there everybody! It �s me again with something sappy and sweet ... well, not really but because today is a special day for me, I want to share something with you...
You see, I was given a book called "A Guide to Better Birthdays" about seven years ago and every birthday (for some inexplicable reason)... I am drawn to the book and reread it. It �s a book full of sayings and wisdom... and yesterday, because we were talking about how wonderful, yet undervalued at times, teachers are, I thought I �d share some of my favorite sayings with all the people here...
"To love what you do and feel that it matters - how could anything else be more fun?" by Katherine Graham...
"Whatever you do, do it with all your heart and soul." by Bernard Baruch...
"This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one." by George Bernard Shaw...
"Joy is the simplest form of gratitude." by Karl Barth
"Gratitude is the most exquisite form of courtesy." by Jacques Maritain...
"The language of friendship is not words, but meanings." Henry David Thoreau
"Friendship forms among people who strengthen one another." by Franklin Owen
"A true friend in the most precious of all possessions and the one we take the least thought about acquiring..." by La Rochefoucauld
And to all my friends here on the board:
"A true friend is one who makes me do my best..." by Oswald Chambers...
These are my birthday gifts to everyone here who has brightened life and made each day a little more interesting. Thank you...
Many hugs to all...
Linda

I thought I �d share a quote as well on your special day,
Living is the art of loving,
Loving is the art of caring,
Caring is the art of sharing,
Sharing is the art of living. - Unknown |
