EACH DAY IS A BEAUTIFUL GIFT
Selflessness is a virtue that can not be legislated;
it must be demonstrated sincerely . Its value and impact must be learned first hand . One way to learn is from someone else's selfless action. When we do so , we learn that selflessness needs a little more than sincere effort to have a effect. For example, the kind of selflessness that good mothers devote to their children provides one of life's most valuable lessons.
May Heaven’s warmest winds blow gently there, where you reside, and may the Great Spirit bless all those you love, this side of the farthest tide. And when you go, whether the journey is fast or slow, may your moccasins leave many cunning footprints in the snow. And when you look over your shoulder, may you always find the Rainbow.xo
Being aware of the past is not the same as living in the past. If the big question is asked, Which is older:
the past, the present, or the future? the answer is , The present is momentary, the future has not yet
arrived, and the past continues to get older. No matter who we are or how old we are individually, our lives~~~all that we have said, seen , and done~~
is in the past. Therefore, it would be wise for all of us to be aware of the past , to know who are ancestors were, to know what they did . To run with our ancestors is to understand ourselves.
Love is such a wonderful and beautiful gift. I think Liam Neeson said it best when he stated, "Everyone says love hurts, but that is not true. Loneliness hurts. Rejection hurts. Losing someone hurts. Envy hurts. Everyone gets these things confused with love but in reality, love is the only thing in the world that covers up all the pain and makes someone feel wonderful again. Love is the only thing in the world that does not hurt."
Love will always be the answer to everything and it is the ONLY thing that the needs more of and not just for one but for every one .

Burch Happily may you walk in the paths of the Rainbow. &nb sp; Oh!, and may it always be beautiful before you, beautiful behind you, beautiful below you, beautiful above you, and beautiful all around you where in Perfection beauty is finished.
Grandmothers are many things~~~ strong, steady, sharp ~ tongued, brutally honest, forgiving, and a source of unconditional Love. They wipe our tears and and bind our wounds and and us back into the fray. One of my grandmothers taught me how to pray, the other taught me how to grieve, and they both taught me that I matter and have a place in the world and a purpose to fulfill. What they knew still amazes me , and when l consider how necessary and precious wisdom is, I think of them. To me, they are the faces of wisdom.
Happy New Year 2025! Happy Trails Friend. Blessings
