You say you love the rain, but you open the umbrella. 

You say you love the sun, but you're looking for a shady corner. 

You say you love the wind, but you close the windows. 

That's why I'm scared when you say you love me.

~ William Shakespeare ~

Hello,  I'm stopping by your house to wish you

your friendship. Have a great day, filled with

love, smiles, and peace. May your day

be blessed. I leave you with smiles

and warm kisses, Maria. Take care.

Elegance is a radiant inner peace. 

Grace is the ability to give, receive and thank. 

Mystery is a hidden laugh always ready to emerge! 

Glamor only radiates if there is a sublime courage 

and bravery within: glamor is like the moon; 

it only shines because the sun is there.

"Don't think about improving the lives 

of other people who don't even deserve you, 

instead, focus on making your life the best, 

for you and those who love you.

 early is the best investment so that tomorrow pays off in smiles.

Don't underestimate your pillow, it's the most patient therapist of the night. Sweet dreams,

Maria, kisses
