"Every blade of grass has an angel that bends over it and whispers, 'Grow! Grow!'..."

"Smile.
This is not a drill. Please fasten your safety belts and restore your
trays to their full upright and locked position. Dig into thoughts and
memories until you've found power; that inner strength and the will to
go on. Find the lingering smell that makes you think of that time...
Look for the color that sparks the memory about... Show the world the
person that can smile no matter what. Please keep all body parts away
from the closing doors and prepare for take off. You know that in all
darkness you will find a matching light. Conquer the fear of heights,
spiders and ghosts. Take a shot of courage and march on through fire.
Accomplish what you know you can do. It only takes a fraction of
happiness and a moment of your time. Stride short and sweet with power
in your footsteps. March to your own beat and rhythm. Excite the flip
flops beneath you and fly on Hermes wings. Your time to shine is now,
and aim that light at shadows below you. Light will stream out from you
and catch others who will reflect it back. Your smile becomes there
smile and show you every bit of comfortable strength it has to offer.
Accept the offerings and be glad in this. This is a smile creeping
across your face, and this is not a recording. Just don't forget to
smile. You, this world and everyone in it is ALWAYS more beautiful when
you smile."
~When the empire falls
Sometimes, that's
not so easy to do these days, I know. Those times, though, when we
can't muster up the strength on our own is when we must turn to each
other. It's been said, we are all angels with only one wing. Only when
we come together can we fly.
So,
I thought I would make a little hole in the world where people could
come when their inspiration needs a jump start. Hope you enjoy...
