"Poisonous relationships

 can alter our perception. 

You can spend many years

 thinking you're worthless… 

but you're not worthless, 

you're unappreciated."  

                            Steve Maraboli

" Everybody thinks you 

reach a certain age 

and you're a grownup,

 but it's not true. 

Nobody grows up 

until the day they croak. " 

                          Keith Richards

" Feel the sweetness 

in your own heart. 

Then you may find 

the sweetness in 

every heart. "

Refreshing Words

A  L  O  H  A !

" In a word, 

if we want security, 

let us give security; 

if we want life, 

let us give life; 

if we want opportunities,

 let us provide opportunities. 

The yardstick we use for others 

will be the yardstick

 which time will use for us. " 

                              Pope Francis

" I would also like to enter into 

dialogue with the many elderly persons 

who are a storehouse of wisdom

forged by experience, and who seek 

in many ways, especially 

through volunteer work, to share their stories 

and their insights. I know 

that many of them are retired, but still 

active; they keep working 

to build up this land. 

I also want to dialogue 

with all those young people 

who are working to realize 

their  noble aspirations, 

who are not led astray 

by facile proposals, and 

who face difficult situations, 

often as a result of immaturity 

on the part of many adults. 

I wish to dialogue 

with all of you. . .  "

                                     Pope Francis

  ' I've earned every wrinkle. '

True Hearts Shiny Souls

A  L  O  H  A !

" When pure sincerity 

forms within you, 

it is outwardly realized 

in other people's hearts. "

                                  Lao Tzu

" Courtesies of a small 

and trivial character are

 the ones which strike 

deepest in the grateful 

and appreciating heart. " 

                              Henry Clay

" The workings of 

the human heart are 

the profoundest mystery 

of the universe. 

One moment they make us

 despair of our kind, 

and the next we see 

in them the reflection 

of the divine image. "
