"Realize that true happiness lies within you.
Waste no time and effort searching for peace
and contentment and joy in the world outside.
Remember that there is no happiness
in having or in getting, but only in giving.
Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug.
Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others
without getting a few drops on yourself."

Og Mandino



I am so excited, I am blessed to spend time with our Grandson Henry today, babysitting, while Liz is working for a few hours this morning. I will be able to "Reach out. Share, Smile. Hug," a very special, cute, fun little guy!

You don't know me. I found your peace blog through Ali's blog (She is one of my creative muses). I truly enjoy your quotes and insight, and the added peace you share. Peace is also my current word. then I realized it was Ali's. then yours. It is one of those words that seems way too short to contain all the motion and thought and feeling that it invokes and seeps into the world around it.
Thank you.

Peace,
Nicole

Nothing compares to loving on an innocent little one. I know. I have a 4-month-old baby princess who was smothered with kisses this evening.
