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 ~

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. 

~ J. JoyBell J. ~

"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.

J. JoyBell J.

“I give without expecting anything,

because the universe always

finds the way to

return me everything I need

and more without my asking.”

“Stop comparing yourself to other people,

just choose to be happy and live your own life”.

~ Roy T. Bennett ~

No matter what happens, 

in most cases there is a way forward. 

Move forward by assessing the facts, 

with a vision of the ideal outcome in mind. 

Act with kindness, consideration, and care. 

And if there isn't a way yet, it's time to forge one.

SWEETIE !

LETS PLAN ON BREAKFAST FOR TOMORROW, SAY 10AM?

MUAH! 

LOVE ALWAYS, AND FOREVER! 

ANNETTE HANSHAW, "THATS ALL!" 

You are not an insignificant 

particle of the universe; 

you possess the power of the 

entire universe in a single cell. 

That power is love.

~ Leonor Anthony ~

“The meaning of things

does not lie in the things themselves,

but in our attitudes toward them.”

~ Antoine de Saint-Exupéry ~

Be grateful for what you already 

have while pursuing your goals.

If you're not grateful for what you already have, 

what makes you think you'd be happy with more?

~ Roy T. Bennett ~ 

“Money, health, love, luck…

but above all,

may we never lose hope!

Happy New Year 2026!”
