But the same sounds melodious at 4 p.m.

And taste the beauty of the wild.
Behold the miracle of the earth
With all the wonder of a child.

I come from haunts of coot and hern,
I make a sudden sally
And sparkle out among the fern,
To bicker down a valley.

The lifestyle of good people is like sunlight at dawn that keeps getting brighter until broad daylight…The Bible

“A man can no more diminish God’s glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word ‘darkness’ on the walls of his cell.”

You are a dreamer, and you are an achiever. May you dream and achieve bigger feats, with every passing year. All the best for the new year.

The hardest part of moving on is not looking back at the memories you once shared with someone.

“Sometimes we are only given a few minutes to be with the one we love, and a thousand hours to spend thinking of them….!”

The excellence of a gift lies in its appropriateness rather than in its value. Charles Dudley Warner

Christmas is forever, not for just one day, for loving, sharing, giving, are not to be put away like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf. The good you do for others is good you do yourself.–: Norman W. Brooks

“I wanted a perfect ending. Now I’ve learned, the hard way, that some poems don’t rhyme, and some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity.” —Gilda Radner

Happy trails to you, until we meet again.
Some trails are happy ones,
Others are blue.
It’s the way you ride the trail that counts,
Here’s a happy one for you.
~Dale Evans

And the fame of thy worth like a pumpkin-vine grow,
And thy life be as sweet, and its last sunset sky
Golden-tinted and fair as thy own Pumpkin pie!..John Greenleaf Whittier – The Pumpkin

No form of Nature is inferior to Art; for the arts merely imitate natural forms. Marcus Aurelius Antoninus

― François-René de Chateaubriand, Memoires D’outre Tombe

“The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.” ― Stephen Hawking
