Once in a while,

right in the middle

of an ordinary life,

Love gives us a fairy tale.

You have enemies? Good.
That means you've stood
up for something,
sometime in your life.
~ Winston Churchill

Quiet down cobwebs,
Dust go to sleep,
I'm rocking my baby,
and babies don't keep.

Some things start out big.
Some things start out small.
Very small.
Sometimes the smallest things
can make the biggest
change of all.

We do not love those we love because they are perfect. Rather, they are perfect because they are loved.

"Those who don't perceive beauty in the face of a person with Down syndrome are blind to all beauty or are so fearful of difference that they must at once turn away from every encounter with it. In every face there is some precious aspect of the divine image of which we are a reflection, and if you look with an open heart, you can see an awesome beauty, a glimpse of something so radiant that it givesyou joy." ---by Dean Koontz

Pain has MANY faces, and the universal cure is laughter - not because we try to deny the truth, but because we have learned to face it, absorb it, and smile through it.

We worry about what a child will become tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today

Listen to the mustn'ts, child. Listen to the don'ts . Listen to the shouldn'ts, The impossibles, The won'ts. Listen to the never haves, Then listen close to me... Anything can happen, child. Anything can be. - Shel Silverstein

"Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are. Let me learn from you, love you, bless you before you depart. Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow. Let me hold you while I may, for it may not always be so. One day, I shall dig my nails into the earth, or bury my face in the pillow, or stretch myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky and want, more than all the world, your return."

Enjoy the little things in life
for one day you will look back
and realize they were the big things.
