much more than existence

today's happiness for now !

contentment

from talking from giving 

from living

erases sorrow

eliminates despair

replaces heartache

with a freedom to care

to know

that somewhere out there

LOVE EXISTS

HOW DARN  LUCKY TO BE ALIVE

HOW DARN LUCKY TO HAVE CHiLDREN' AND THEIRS

HOW LUCKY TO SEE, SMELL, FEEL, WALK 

AND TO STILL HAVE THE ABILITY

TO LOVE..

I HOPE ALL MY DEAR FRIENDS ON HERE CAN REJOICE , HOLD HOPE, AND LOVE

NOW OR IN THEIR FUTURE

THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR WORDS, READING MY ''STUFF'

AND FOR YOUR LOVE....  YOUR TALENTS ARE OVERWHELMING AND OVER THE TOP

Such a wonderful, uplifting message, Marilyn. Indeed, "giving" does give so much back to us and our souls. And, your words inspire love and hope. Thank you for sharing your gift with us.

Thank you so very much, Robert! I am not all sweetness and light.. but at this time of year it is more than important to give , even if it is poetry or a painting plus some love too.. thanks!

Words that mean more than words! What a wonderfully multi-faceted Christmas gift... and I'm not even a friend. :)

One never has to read, merely when you have time or want to. Smiles flying the miles!
