Strawberry Jam and Happiness

Today I posted a quote about spreading jam .... it has stuck with me throughout the day!  It is true, you can't seem to spread jam on anything without getting a little smeared on something other than the intended.  The exact same can be said of of happiness!  Don't worry ... be happy!  Be sweet and spread the cheer!!

As We Are So We See

Things are not always as they appear at first glance to be.  Often they are the complete opposite of what we had thought.  Careful scrutiny will shown that no two see exactly the same image, though they gaze upon the identical thing ... differences emerge ... it's what keeps us each individual, each his own, our ability to see things as we are, not as they are ...
