Deja Vu or Maybe New ~ I wrote "Circle of Light" to express my deep thanks to those sweet souls who lift us up no matter what the circumstance. Friends are like oxygen. ~ "Precious In His Sight" reflects the hope and security of God's tender care for precious children everywhere. ~ We all have so many unanswered questions. "Who Can Know?" is a reflection from my heart which might express what you feel at times. I invite you to have a look and hope you find something of value here.

~~ Molasses-Glazed Rib Roast ~ Posted by Beatrice
You will notice that there is no molasses in this recipe. Molasses is a by-product of the refining process of sugar. As the brown sugar melts into the roast, it turns to molasses, and makes a great crust on the outside of the roast.
Ingredients: 1 (5- to 6-pound) rib roast Directions: =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Note from Karen ~ I know I often talk about the power of encouragement. There are so many good things to come from a caring heart. I believe it's true that the only things we really keep are things we give away with an open hand. It's definitely an exercise that strengthens the heart. ~ It's a beautiful autumn day and I am just thankful to be able to enjoy it.Please take some time to treat yourself to a few moments alone with nature. It's very healing. ~ I want to thank you for your continued support. Your letters and guestbook signings are a joy to me. Don't forget to smile today. Thank you for sharing this journey with me.

Today
Today I smiled, and all at once Today I shared with someone else, Today I sang a little song, Today I worked with what I had Today I loved a little more I forgot my weariness.

Quotes ~
He that does good to another does good also to himself. The duty of helping one's self in the highest sense involves the helping of one's neighbors. The kindness planned for tomorrow does not count for today. A tree is known by its fruit; a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost; he who sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love. When a person finds themselves predisposed to complaining about how little they are regarded by others, let them reflect how little they have contributed to the happiness of others. In human relationships, kindness and lies are worth a thousand truths. There are times that when truth and kindness conflict one ought to chose kindness, especially when a little honesty is better than a lot. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Smiling is infectious, You catch it like the flu, When someone smiled at me today, I started smiling too. I passed around the corner and someone saw my grin and when he smiled, I realized I'd passed it on to him! I thought about that smile and then I realized its worth, a single smile--just like mine could travel round the earth. So, if you feel a smile begin, don't leave it undetected let's start an epidemic--quick, and get the world infected!
