"safe & sane"

"Smile"

as sung by

Jermaine

for

M.J. Memorial

Smile, though your heart is aching

Smile, even though it's breaking

When there are clouds in the sky

You'll get by...If you smile

With your fear and sorrow

Smile and maybe tomorrow

You'll find that life is still worthwhile

If you just...

Light up your face with gladness

Hide every trace of sadness

Although a tear may be ever so near

That's the time you must keep on trying

Smile, what's the use of crying

You'll find that life is still worthwhile

If you just...Smile,

though your heart is aching

Smile, even though it's breaking

When there are clouds in the sky

You'll get by...

If you smile

Through your fear and sorrow

Smile and maybe tomorrow

You'll find that life is still worthwhile

If you just smile...

That's the time you must keep on trying

Smile, what's the use of crying

You'll find that life is still worthwhile

If you just smile.

Live today to the fullest,

because tomorrow is not promised...

happy humpday

Rose

~ After returning to college to
complete her dream at age 87,
Rose shared these pearls of wisdom:
“We do not stop playing
because we are old;
we grow old because
we stop playing
‘The secrets to staying young,
being happy and achieving success.
You have to laugh and find humor
every day. You've got to have a dream.
When you lose your dreams, you die…
so many people walking around
who are dead, and don't even know it!
‘There is a huge difference between
growing older and growing up.
Anybody can grow older.
That doesn't take any
talent or ability.
The idea is to grow up
by always finding
opportunity in change.
Have no regrets”.
by: Rose, age 88…graduation speech.

~ In the wake of recent iconic deaths,
try to see the ways in which they
lived, which proved successful.
Don't dwell on how they may have died.
Morbid curiosity is wasted energy.
Finding the keys to a happy and
successful life is priceless.

~ a sentimental journey

YOU CAN FLOAT THROUGH

one thing in common:

a childish streak.

They do whatever they like
with all their heart ”.

…Keiko Aoki

"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing."

…Helen Keller

sandcastles on my mind...
a happy place for sand crabs...dancin' on the beach...

Beach

"My soul is full of longing

For the secret of the sea,

And the heart of the great ocean

Sends a thrilling pulse through me."

...Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

"The sea, once it casts its spell,

holds one in its net

of wonder forever."

...Jacques Cousteau

"In every curving beach,

in every grain of sand

there is the story of the earth."

...Rachel Carson

~ Yes, we loved another perfect day

at the beach. Thanks c.f. !

Peace & Happiness. Pure joy.

The kiddos' imagination is endless,

as their love for the water grows.

We will return soon ~
