Lasting Light Poetry January 18, 2003
Hello Again ~ I hope your New Year is off to a good start. It's good to share some time with you again. I invite you to take a look at a few of my poems you might enjoy. "Harmony" is a poem meant to brighten a gray day with thoughts of romance and spring. ~ A few thoughts about the beginning of a new year are evident as you read "Into The New". ~ If things aren't exactly going your way or if you have some post-holiday blues, I hope you'll take a look at "When You Can't Smile". We all have those days. Relax and enjoy, and I do have a new little poem at the end of this newsletter......

Quotes to Consider ~
Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carryit with us or we find it not. The most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle.The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well. If you really put a small value upon yourself, rest assured that theworld will not raise your price.
Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built theark. Professionals built the Titanic.
A small trouble is like a pebble. Hold it too close to your eye, and it puts everything out of focus. Hold it at proper viewing distance, and it can be examined and classified. Throw it at your feet, and it can be seen in its true setting, just one more tiny bump on the pathway to eternity. Notice the difference between what happens when a man says to himself,"I have failed three times," and what happens when he says, "I'm afailure." Where the heart is willing it will find a thousand ways. Where it isunwilling it will find a thousand excuses. Time is like the snowflake that on your finger lit. It disappeared while you were thinking of what to do with it...
The tragedy of life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
