care more about their

Beauty is a fairy;
sometimes she hides herself
in a flower-cup, or under a leaf,
or creeps into the old ivy,
and plays hide-and-seek
with the sunbeams...

Rainbow Shower Tree Season!
While you can't control
someone's negative behavior,
you can control how long

It's one thing to be truthful
in what you say today.
It's another to uphold
your commitments tomorrow.
Honesty is being candid
as you talk. Integrity is
honoring those words as you walk.
