“ Years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor.”

The poetry of the earth is never dead.

Beautiful memories are like old friends. They may not always be on your mind, but they are forever in your heart.

One of the secrets of a happy life is continuous small treats.

Sweet Treats

Chocolate kisses and ice cream wishes. 

Lemon drops and soda pops. 

Jelly beans and sugar-filled dreams. 

Lollipops and candy shops.

Sugar is yummy in every way, 

and adds to my sweetness every day!
