Recovery Day TGIF

A  L  O  H  A !

" How much 
the world needs 
tenderness today! "
Pope Francis, 
Christmas words

                                He's one of us, Friend!

" Who would travel happily

 must travel light. "

               Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Are you traveling light?

Have you shared the tenderness?

It is here,

as close as

We.

Life is the flower

we are the raindrops,

skittering,

dancing,

coming together

dropping away.

Together we play.

And it's 99% play,

my dear.

Enjoy your day.

Enjoy your

Y O U  -

[ we do ]

A Small Gift For You

A  L  O  H  A !

" Each friend represents

 a world in us,

 a world possibly not born-

"- until they arrive,

 and it is only by

 this meeting 

that a new world 

is born. "

                         Anaïs Nin

" A great obstacle to
 happiness is 
to expect
too much 
happiness. "
Bernard Le Bovier Fontenelle

" No matter 
what the situation is,
no matter how chaotic, 
no matter how much drama 
is around you, 
you can heal by 
your presence 
if you just stay 
within your center. "
Deepak Chopra

gets to be

 the peace symbol?

 How about the pillow? 

It has more feathers...

 and it doesn't have 

that dangerous beak.”
