Sayings to stitch
Some of life's treasures are the little thngs
Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow
Good friends are like stars,
you don't always see them, but you know they are there
Forget the day's troubles
Remember the day's blessings
A house is made of walls and beams
A home is made with love and dreams
Lifes little wonders

Everywhere you go

from Natalie of Tins and Treasures.
The beautiful in life...
some talk of it in poetry,
some grow it from the soil,
some build it in a steeple,
some show it through their toil...
Some breathe it into music,
some mold it into art,
some shape it into bread loaves,
some hold it in their heart.
For all you are, for all you do,
May everything beautiful in life come to you.
Happy Birthday

new baby coming!
I do not have a face to
see,
Or to put inside a
frame.
I do not have soft cheeks
to kiss,
I don't yet have a
name.
You can't yet hold my tiny
hands,
Nor whisper in my
ear.
It's still too soon to sing
a song,
Or cuddle me so
near.
But all will change come
March 1st,
That's when they say I'm
due.
I'm your new grandson or
granddaughter,
I can't wait till I meet
you.
All I ask between now and
then,
Is your patience while I
grow.
I promise I'll be worth the
wait,
Because of all the love
we'll know.
So what I have to give you
now,
is a wish to you from
me.
I cannot wait to be a
part
Of this wonderful
family.

Anniversary~ Wedding
Love one another and you will be happy. It's as simple and as difficult as that.
If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?
Spouse: someone who'll stand by you through all the trouble you wouldn't have had if you'd stayed single.
We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.
Marriage is a three ring circus: engagement ring, wedding ring, and suffering.
Love is one long sweet dream, and marriage is the alarm clock.
Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction. ~Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Trip over love, you can get up. Fall in love and you fall forever.
Love is the thing that enables a woman to sing while she mops up the floor after her husband has walked across it in his barn boots. ~Hoosier Farmer
A wedding anniversary is the celebration of love, trust, partnership, tolerance and tenacity. The order varies for any given year. by Paul Sweeney
Strike an average between what a woman thinks of her husband a month before she marries him and what she thinks of him a year afterward, and you will have the truth about him. ~H.L. Mencken, A Book of Burlesques, 1916
Our wedding was many years ago. The celebration continues to this day. ~Gene Perret
It's so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life. ~Rita Rudner
The difficulty with marriage is that we fall in love with a personality, but must live with a character. ~Peter Devries
A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person. ~Mignon McLaughlin
Never go to bed mad. Stay up and fight. ~Phyllis Diller, Phyllis Diller's Housekeeping Hints, 1966
The bonds of matrimony are like any other bonds - they mature slowly. ~Peter De Vries
Infatuation is when you think he's as sexy as Robert Redford, as smart as Henry Kissinger, as noble as Ralph Nader, as funny as Woody Allen, and as athletic as Jimmy Conners. Love is when you realize that he's as sexy as Woody Allen, as smart as Jimmy Connors, as funny as Ralph Nader, as athletic as Henry Kissinger and nothing like Robert Redford - but you'll take him anyway. ~Judith Viorst, Redbook, 1975
The bonds of matrimony are like any other bonds - they mature slowly. ~Peter De Vries
By all means marry; if you get a good wife, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.Socrates
The highest happiness on earth is marriage. ~William Lyon Phelps
Love is not singular except in syllable. ~Marvin Taylor
Love is a sweet tyranny, because the lover endureth his torments willingly. ~Proverb
A happy marriage is a long conversation that always seems too short. ~Andre Maurois
True love stories never have endings. ~Richard Bach
Nobody has ever measured, even poets, how much a heart can hold. ~Zelda Fitzgerald
No matter how much cats fight, there always seem to be plenty of kittens. ~Abraham Lincoln

To have a loving relationship with a sister is not simply to have a buddy or a confident -- it is to have a soulmate for life. Victoria Secunda

Christmas Poems
~ Christmas Glitter ~
With our eyes
We see the glitter of Christmas
With our ears we hear the merriment,
With our hands we touch
The tinsel-tied trinkets,
But only with our hearts
Can we feel the miracle of it.
~ A Christmas Poem ~
I have a list of folks I know, all written in a book
And every year when Christmas comes, I go and take a look,
And that is when I realize that these names are a part
Not of the book they are written in, but really of my heart.
For each name stands for someone who has crossed my path sometime,
And in the meeting they've become the rhythm in each rhyme.
And while it sounds fantastic for me to make this claim,
I really feel that I'm composed of each remembered name.
And while you may not be aware of any special link
Just meeting you has changed my life a lot more than you think.
For once I've met somebody, the years cannot erase
The memory of a pleasant word or of a friendly face.
So never think my Christmas cards are just a mere routine
Of names upon a Christmas list, forgotten in between,
For when I send a Christmas card that is addressed to you,
It is because you're on the list that I'm indebted to.
For I am but a total of the many folks I've met,
And you happen to be one of those I prefer not to forget.
And whether I have known you for many years or few,
In some ways you have a part in shaping things I do.
And every year when Christmas comes, I realize anew,
The best gifts life can offer is meeting folks like you.
And may the spirit of Christmas that forever endures
Leave its richest blessings in the hearts of you and yours.
C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S
Christmas or Any Day
Giving of Ourselves is the perfect way to celebrate the day! How about sharing a gift that anyone can give,afford, and anyone would love to receive?
C-"The gift of Consideration"...This could mean providing genuine understanding of their side of an issue.
H-"Giving of our Heart"...This could mean taking the time to really listen to someone. Feel what they are feeling. Understand who they are and why they arewho they are. Try to understand by putting ourselves in their shoes.
R-"Giving others Respect "...This could mean giving someone your full attention, giving someone space to grow,respect others for simply being not for the possessions they may hold.
I-"The Gift of Inspiration"...This could mean by planting the seeds of courage and action in the heart of another.
S-"Giving of our Soul"...This could mean giving of ourselves at a spiritual level. It may be in the form of praying for somebody. It may involve meditating on helping someone else and uncovering solutions to their problems. Or, it may be by doing something such as sending off positive healing and energy vibes.
T-"Giving of our Time "...This could be taking time to provide a listening ear to someone in need, offer prayer, send cards to the sick and shut ins, organize an event, volunteer your time.
M-"Giving unconditional love all Mankind"...This could mean giving someone some of what is inside of our soul, sharing with them our time, talents and treasures that we have been given.
A-"The Gift of Attention"... This could mean when another person speaks listening attentively. If their words are directed to us, we should make eye contact so that the other knows we are truly listening.
S-"Giving of our Space"...This could mean doing something like letting someone go ahead of us in a line. This could be opening our doors and inviting our neighbors into our homes. Or, we could simply be generous in giving people the space to be whoever they want to be. Let's not judge others so quickly; let's increase our level of acceptance.

Day's End--Ora Pete Stewart
The fire is dying, and the door is latched'

This little pair of trousers must be patched
Where General Custer made his latest stand.
Tomorrow they will ride with Jesse James,
Or fight with Crokett for the Alamo-

To rise where embers were content to glow.

A rocking chair, a friendly fire to tend,
Someone to tuck between soft sheets at night--
And always, always something, Lord, to mend.

If you sleep in it.....make it up.
If you wear it......hang it up.

If you eat out of it....put it in the sink.
If you step in it....wipe it off.
If you open it....close it.
If you empty it....fill it up.

Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction.
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Wind, Sand and Stars, 1939, translated from French by Lewis Galantière
For you see, each day I love you more. Today more than yesterday and less than tomorrow. Rosemonde Gerard
The ultimate test of a relationship is to disagree but to hold hands. Quoted by Alexandra Penney in Self
Love is, above all, the gift of oneself. Jean Anouilh
Love is like dew that falls on both nettles and lilies. Swedish Proverb
Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity. Henry Van Dyke
It is astonishing how little one feels alone when one loves. John Bulwer
A hundred hearts would be too few to carry all my love for you.
Love is the thing that enables a woman to sing while she mops up the floor after her husband has walked across it in his barn boots. Hoosier Farmer
Love unlocks doors and opens windows that weren't even there before. Mignon McLaughlin, The Second Neurotic's Notebook, 1966
Love is the poetry of the senses. Honoré de Balzac
I need the starshine of your heavenly eyes, after the day's great sun. Charles Hanson Towne
Love is not consolation. It is light. Friedrich Nietzsche
Loving is never a waste of time. Astrid Alauda
You can give without loving, but you can never love without giving.
Love is what you've been through with somebody. James Thurber, quoted in Life magazine, 1960
Love is being stupid together. Paul Valery
Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable. Bruce Lee
True love stories never have endings. Richard Bach
The supreme happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved - loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves. Victor Hugo
Love is the greatest refreshment in life. Pablo Picasso
Love means nothing in tennis, but it's everything in life.
Love would never be a promise of a rose garden unless it is showered with light of faith, water of sincerity and air of passion.
Anyone can catch your eye, but it takes someone special to catch your heart.
Love is missing someone whenever you're apart, but somehow feeling warm inside because you're close in heart. Kay Knudsen
You learn to like someone when you find out what makes them laugh, but you can never truly love someone until you find out what makes them cry.
True love is when you put someone on a pedestal, and they fall - but you are there to catch them.
To the world you might be one person, but to one person you might be the world.
What I need to live has been given to me by the earth. Why I need to live has been given to me by you.
If I had a single flower for every time I think about you, I could walk forever in my garden. Attributed to Claudia Ghandi
In true love the smallest distance is too great, and the greatest distance can be bridged. Hans Nouwens
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach. Elizabeth Barrett Browning
We loved with a love that was more than love. Edgar Allan Poe
Who, being loved, is poor? Oscar Wilde
I love thee - I love thee,
'Tis all that I can say
It is my vision in the night,
My dreaming in the day.
Thomas Hood
