Quotations   In Line or Verse   Inspirations    About Me    All-Time Favourite Books    Favourite Authors    Wish List    Ratings "Santa Claus Village" "Helsinki, Finland" A Photo From Helsinki.fi I chose this photo because it is everything that I imagine the season to be - snow, skiing, Christmas trees and hey! - it's Santa Claus Village! Index img233.imageshack.us/---/holly6vw.gif" width="100" height="97"> "A Christmas candle is a lovely thing; It makes no noise at all, But softly gives itself away; While quite unselfish, it grows small." Eva K. Logue "There's nothing sadder in this world than to awake Christmas morning and not be a child." Erma Bombeck "Give all to love; obey thy heart" Ralph Waldo Emerson "So remember while December Brings the only Christmas day, In the year let there be Christmas In the things you do and say."

Should auld acquaintance be forgot and days of auld lang syne? For auld lang syne, my dear, for auld lang syne, we'll take a cup of kindness yet, for auld lang syne. Should auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind? Should auld acquaintance be forgot and days of auld lang syne? And here's a hand, my trusty friend And gie's a hand o' thine We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet For auld lang syne. Index img235.imageshack.us/---/bellsshiny3mj.gif" width="153" height="156"> I am a dreamer. I love to read and write poetry. I am an October - born with the traditional love of peace, harmony and the lot, that are said to be associated with Librans. I treasure quiet times - not so much the quiet times of exterior as of interior. Friends and friendships mean a lot to me. I am more on the quiet side, others tell me - you'd never know it from my posts now, would you? I enjoy pop, country and some rock music, but I do not like heavy metal much and I do not like jazz at all. I like taking long walks and enjoying nature for what it is..not that my work gives me much time for this, though. I like animals. Sunsets, beautiful sceneries -- even just seeing virtual representations of them -- make my soul soar. I write poetry to sort out my thoughts, my turmoils and my troubles. I write poems when I can find no ordinary words by which to help another. There are times I just love to sit and soak up nature.. my perfect time is when nature is not too noisy... when the silence speaks. I have many, many hobbies and collect practically everything. The Human Jackdaw.. :) :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To be the best friend I can be to all who need a friend. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Get hurt -- There are many who would say that I shouldn't do it ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I value friends ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Reading, music, writing poetry and short stories, corresponding, travelling, philately, numismatics, collecting all sorts of things :) ... much more ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sunsets, beaches, kittens on wobbly legs, waterfalls, flowers, scenic views, rainbows, deep friendships, quotations, quizzes, literati, poetry, peace, philosophy & logic, stretches of water..
