My Favorite thoughts

Look to this day, for it is the very life of life.

In its brief course lie

all the verities and realities of your existence:

The glory of action

The bliss of growth

The splendor of beauty

For yesterday is but a dream

and tomorrow is only a vision;

But today well lived

makes every yesterday a dream of happiness,

and every tomorrow a vision of hope.

Look well, therefore to this day.

Writing by Negia Gilpin Howard

NELDA'S STORY

THERE WAS A LADY WHO THROUGH HER MANY TRAVELS FOUND A NICE PLACE TO BE.

SHE SAID, THIS IS SUCH A NICE PLACE. I THINK I WILL BUILD HERE.

I WILL MAKE IT DEEP ENOUGH TO STORE ALL MY MEMORIES, WIDE ENOUGH TO THINK KIND THOUGHTS AND SPACIOUS ENOUGH TO SHARE WITH OTHERS.

SHE SAID, MY PLACE WILL HAVE A GARDEN, THAT WILL BE FILLED WITH MUSIC, AND POEMS AND STORIES.
IT WILL HAVE A WISHING WELL IN THE CENTER AND AT NIGHT CHILDREN CAN PICK THEIR FAVORITE STAR.
IT WILL HAVE A MOAT ALL-AROUND TO HOLD MANY BOATS FULL OF FANCIFUL DREAMS.

I WILL BUILD THE CASTLE IN MY MIND.
IT WILL HAVE MANY ROOMS AND OVER THE DOOR WILL HANG A GREAT BIG HEART TO LET EVERY BODY FEEL WELCOME.

NOW WASN'T THAT A NICE THOUGHT TO HAVE ON HER MIND?

Forward we walk back into time

To play in the castles of my mind.
