Read

Read
Read by yourself. Read with each other.
Read one good book. Then read another.
Read to discover what something means.
Read to escape to a place you can dream.
Read the news. Or read a globe.
Read in a dress. Or read in your robe.
Read while you wait for your tain to come in.
Read to find out how somebody's been.
Read in a garden. Read in a house.
Read by the window. Read on the couch.
Read while you work. Read while you ride.
Read what you want. It's for you to decide.
Read when you're young. Read when you are old.
Read all the words you can possibly hold.
Read to a friend. That's what friends are for.
Read all your life
and
YOU'LL NEVER BE BORED.
"Artful Reading" ~ Bob Raczka

Happy 2010!!!

This is my way of wishing everyone a Happy New Year... Animal lovers rejoice, this is is perfect for you. Everybody else, I hope you can enjoy the "cuteness" of it all! (and don't tell me that the little pig did not make you smile even so slightly...)

BEST WISHES FOR 2010!!!!




May you always make the right moves.

May your cup runneth over with love.



May you always find shelter from any storm.



May you remain good looking and looking good!



May you find the perfect diet for your soul.(If this face doesn't make you want to stop eating sausage, nothing will.)



May you find perfect balance in the company you keep.



May you have as much fun as you can before someone makes you stop.



May the worst thing that happens to you come in slobberry pink and furry tan.


May you manage to MAKE time for siesta.



May all the new folks you meet be interesting and kind.




May your accessories always harmonize with your natural beauty!


Should your mouth ever be bigger than your stomach, may you have a chewing good time!




May you always know when to walk away and know when to run.



And may your friends always bring you joy!



MAY YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL NEW YEAR FILLED WITH LOVE,
HAPPINESS, AND HOPE.
