Prescription for a Smile

When life gets me down

instead of wearing a frown -

my vitamin A!

My vitamin A,

cheerfulness to save my day -

how can I not smile?

One sweet thought,

goes a mile...

Crocodile Hunter

Steve-O, you showed us

that conservation is fun,

and proved that it's true.

Love of nature - is -

brave, and kind, and cheerful.

Cheerful most of all.

Fair dinkum,

distinct, mate.

Stephen Robert "Steve" Irwin (19620222-20060904 in the line of Conservation, of love of nature and Country) - citizen of creation, defender of the cause of Sacred Life, true blue son of Australia, father, husband, mate, thanks and Godspeed.

Personal Reflection -

I think those who live to give are those who never really leave us. This is true not because their fate is sad but because their legacy is glad.

What happened to Steve was so sudden, it made me really sad. And knowing how tightly knit Australia is, I know his loss would be felt by the whole Country - especially his family and his daughter, Bindi.

But when I think about it more, I realize this -

We all have a destiny to bring about, that something good to leave for this world, and I think Steve gave us the full measure of his work.

For this we should be glad.

Stuck in a Moment

There are times in life
when it seems nothing is right
because it's all wrong...

But it's not all wrong
when each moment is begun
with hope in the wing.

Never dwell
on the past.

Smile like your worries have an end... and they will.

Lol

I saw this lady,
one night - talking to herself,
and I thought it weird...

I said to myself -
"she's talking to herself" - wow!
"I'm doin' it, too".

(Laugh out loud),
ha ha ha.

If you can't laugh at yourself, you're not really funny.

There is a connection between the ability to laugh and the ability to bear pain, between humor and fortitude.

This connection is called humility.

Smiling Eyes

I look at you - and -

gaze into your smiling eyes...

And I smile myself.

Your heart, my Anne,

is a cheerful place to be;

a secret shelter.

When I'm sad...

smiling eyes!

True Giving

The happy giver
gives as our LORD gives, and so -
multiplies the gift...

But he who gives not
with the gifts of a giver
only but subtracts.

True giving
IS the gift.

Big S

Yeah, she's quite wacky,
and she uses shocking words,
but always means well...

You can't just give up
when life gets you down, say "Yes!"
Big S for Big Smile.

Turn that frown
upside down.

Hers

Cheerful wild flowers,
fragrant summer blossoms,
O whom could it be?

Fragrant like my sweet...
Hmmm, beauty and industry,
that's my Anne Frank!

Immortal
Beloved.

Smile

Smiling is giving

and it goes from heart to heart -

if you love, then smile.

God loves cheerful hearts,

hearts made glad by His giving,

if you're thankful, smile.

Let you star

shine, starshine.
