I only ask to be free. 
The butterflies are free.

You don’t have to 
be happy to smile.

Just for today,
smile a little more.

is like a dirty window,
they never let the
light shine through. William Makepeace Thackeray

friends, not years. 
Count your life by 
smiles, not tears.

Go not to the Elves
for counsel, for they
will say both no and yes. J. R. R. Tolkien

    Smile though your heart is aching
    Smile even though it is breaking ... (Smile - Demis Roussos)

    The dragon logo on a lion dancer helper's vest made me smile, and I am thankful that Pixie is a wizard not an elf :)

    Love the Brazilian Cardinal, a striking bird. Another rainbow, so beautiful. I was surprised at the quote from John Lennon. Just doesn't sound much like him but I like the quote.
