Time is like a river, you cannot touch the same water
twice, because the flow that has passed will never
pass again, enjoy every moment of Life....

Take time for all things:  great haste makes great waste.

This is really fabulously beautiful with LOTS of quotes.  Turn up your sound. I recommend saving it somewhere in your favorites so you can watch it again whenever you need to be lifted up.   I apologize if you are on dial up and unable to have the speed to download the video.  Sending you all Thanksgiving love and prayers for peace and safety for all those we love and care about.

"To speak gratitude is courteous and pleasant, to enact gratitude is generous and noble, but to live gratitude is to touch heaven."

Thanks Mimi!  A great one for today...and this week...Sometimes it is hard to remember to be grateful for all of our blessings, not just the "biggies" and to let others know we are thankful for having them in our lives.  I am thankful for you, and Marty, and all of our military, and all the other Junkies out there.  I am truly blessed.
