Lucky Enough

A  L  O  H  A !
" Worry 
does not empty 
tomorrow 
of its sorrow. 

It empties
 today 
of its strength."

Corrie Ten Boom








“ I believe 

in being strong 

when everything seems

 to be going wrong. 


I believe that 

happy girls 

are the prettiest girls. 

I believe that 

tomorrow is another day, 

and I believe in miracles."

Audrey Hepburn









" You just have to be
 lucky enough 
to find someone 
who appreciates you. "

A Smile as Bright as Birds

and stick your

your bum 

or your waist 

or your feet, 

for that matter. "

Shame Shame - Go Away

A  L  O  H  A !
" The books 
that the world calls 
immoral 
are books that 
show the world 
its own shame. "

Oscar Wilde 







" What do you regard 

as most humane? 

To spare someone 

shame. "

Friedrich Nietzsche 







"The only shame is to have none."

Blaise Pascal









" It is the false shame 

of fools 

to try to conceal 

wounds 

that have not 

healed. "

Horace





vxvxvxvxvxvxvxvxvxvxvxvxvxvxvxvxvxvx

Shame is a lousy teacher. 

All you remember

is the humiliation;

Overshadowing

any other learning

in the life and heart

of the learner.


What shame do you still carry?

That is a worthwhile question.

You may not wish to share it

but self - honesty

is the road to Your 

Freedom; And Power.

When You See an Ant

A  L  O  H  A !
" Give me a smart idiot 

over a stupid genius 

any day. "

Samuel Goldwyn 




" My grandmother is over 80 

and still doesn't need glasses.
She drinks right out of the bottle. "

 Henny Youngman







“An ant on the move 

does more 

than a dozing ox.”

 Lao Tzu 

          -o,,o,,o'
Consider the Ant- 

In a clever new study, 
patient scientists placed Bar Codes
on more than 1,000 carpenter ants
then used high-resolution infrared 
cameras to monitor the ants.

No one knew before
that ants change jobs
at different stages of life!

Young ants are nursemaids to
the larvae and pupae.

Middle aged ants, patrol the colony
to keep it in working order,
they are police,
and civil engineers.

Do the seniors have a job?
YES! Indeed they do.
Alessandro Crespi of the 
Swiss Federal Institute of Technology
says: 

"The most dangerous job
is foraging, as it requires leaving the
nest for the outside world. That's a
job for the oldest ants."

So
if you see an ant
it is a seasoned
senior!
