A Mother's Heart
There is a certain magic that happens
when a woman becomes a mother.
From the first joyful moment she holds her newborn child,
an amazing transformation begins to take place...
nourished by a fountain of unconditional love,
her heart fills and expands and strengthens
to nurture and protect her child for time eternal.
In a mother's heart, no child is ordinary;
she sees the beauty a hasty world often ignores.
A mother's heart feels her offspring's pain,
and she is always there with words of encouragement.
A mother's heart never gives up;
no matter how cold or dark life seems,
no matter what others may think,
no matter how many obstacles are in her path,
she never loses hope and faith in her child.
No matter how far we go or how much we achieve,
few accomplishments in life are as rewarding
as a single smile from a mother's heart.

Believing In Yourself
standing for what you believe in
regardless of the odds against you
and the pressure that tears at your resistance
means courage
keeping a smile on your face
when inside you feel like dying
for the sake of supporting others
means strength
stopping at nothing
and doing what in your heart
you know is right
means determination
doing more than is expected
to make another's life a little more bearable
without uttering a single complaint
means compassion
helping a friend in need
no matter the time or effort
to the best of your ability
means loyalty
giving more than you have
and expecting nothing
but gratitude in return
means selflessness
holding your head high
and being the best you know you can be
when life seems to fall apart at your feet
and facing each difficulty with
the confidence that time will bring
you better tomorrows
and never giving up
means believing in yourself...

Lining of My Heart
Inside the lining of my heart,
hidden away safe and deep
are the memories I hold dear.
Alone and all mine to share or keep secret.
Thoughts, visions, and echoes all wrapped dear,
lie the friendly glances, the warm smiles
and knowing looks I've kept to remember.
I've hidden the pain and covered the tears
with laughter, hope and never-ending faith.
Forgotten and yet easily remembered,
Open and yet quickly closed,
all remain in the lining of my heart.
On cloudy blue days they stand at attention
awaiting their call. They'll come fast or slow;
some will meld together into one. Some are happy
and some are sad, but all are intertwined with the
common thread found inside the lining of my heart.
-Poem by Leslie Anne Richards

There was a time when
I could talk to you so easily
We would discuss the paths
our lives were taking
We shared so much together
You held my hand when life
seemed too hard to bear
and gave me strength.
I gave you my shoulder
so that you could cry of
love betrayed.
There was a time when
I could talk to you so easily
Yet, miles and time seem
to have changed all that
We rarely share together.
It seems that our paths
have moved so far apart
That even in this realm of
high tech we still do not
have time to share
As we once did so long ago.
There was a time when
I could talk to you so easily.
There is distance between us
That I would like to change
To bring us back to when
we shared so much together
For you to know that though
there are miles between us
My shoulder is still there
For you to cry on
My hand is waiting for you.

A thirsty married man, according to the law in Camarillo, could have
serious problems. He can't purchase any form of liquor without first having
the written consent of his loving spouse. And an old law in Gardena,
according to City Manager Ken Landau, prohibits a woman from chewing tobacco
without first having permission from her husband.
An old-fashioned piece of legislation in Hesperia outlaws dueling under
certain circumstances: no one is allowed to duel when the opponents select
water pistols for use as the weapons.
Any laws having to do with Sunday were usually written and passed as the
need arose with the intent of keeping the Sabbath holy. The church has
enormous influence on laws pertaining to gambling, curfews for young women,
women drinking alcoholic beverages, flirting, and even eating ice cream. In
Bonsall, no one may read the Sunday paper while sitting in a rocking chair on
their front porch while church services are in session.

Our Dreams
Each of us has a place
a place to hide, a place to embrace
all of our own...
Here we can find an old friend's face
travel back in time, to a familiar space
a place we once called home...
Each of us has had our days
when filled with youth and childhood ways
Where in our memories those days will stay
stitched in our hearts, deeply sewn...
We can go back anytime because in our hearts
and in our minds there will always be that special place
from where we've grown
Our dreams can take us anywhere
Past or future, here or there
Our dreams are all we've known...

Every morning when you rise
Sing some merry song;
The one that is cheeriest
And brightens up the dawn.
Make a smile that’s happy
With eyes that ever gleam
And always’s keep your spirit
Prepared for every dream.

" A relationship is like sand in the palm of your hand.
Held loosely, with an open hand, the sand remains where it is,
The minute you close your hand and squeeze tightly to hold on,
The sand trickles through your fingers.
You may hold on to some of it, but most will be spilled.
A relationship is like that.
Held loosely, with respect and freedom for the other person,
It is likely to remain intact.
But hold too tightly, too possessively,
And the relationship slips away and is lost."

Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, and all of the others including Love.
One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all repaired their boats and left. Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to persevere until the last possible moment When the island was almost sinking, Love decided to ask for help.
Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said, "Richness, can you take me with you?" Richness answered, "No I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place for you here."
Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel, "Vanity, please help me!" "I can't help you Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat," Vanity answered.
Sadness was close by so Love asked for help, "Sadness let me go with you." "Oh...Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!" Happiness passed by Love too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her!
Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come Love, I will take you." It was an elder. Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that he even forgot to ask the elder her name.
When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way. Love realizing how much he owed the elder, asked Knowledge, another elder, "Who helped me?"
"It was Time", Knowledge answered. "Time?" asked Love. "But why did Time help me?" Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, "Because only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is."

These three guys go down to some Latin American country one night and
get drunk and wake up in jail. They found out that they are to be
executed for their crimes but none of them can remember what they`ve
done.
The first one is strapped in the electric chair and is asked if he has
any last words. He says, "I am from the Baylor school of divinity and
I believe in the almighty power of God to intervene on behalf of the
innocent." They throw the switch and nothing happens, so they figure
God must not want this guy to die, so we better let him go.
The second one is strapped in and gives his last words. "I am from the
University of Texas School of Law and I believe in the eternal power
of justice to intervene on the part of the innocent." They throw the
switch and again nothing happens. They figure that the law is on this
guy`s side, so they better let him go too.
The last one is strapped in and says, "Well, I`m a Fightin` Texas
Aggie Electrical Engineer, and I`ll tell you right now you`ll never
electrocute anybody if you don`t connect those two wires."

To see you happy
laughing and joking
smiling and content
striving towards goals of your own
accomplishing what you set out to do
having fun by yourself and with your friends
capable of loving and being loved
is what I always wished for you.
Today I thought about your handsome face
and felt your excitement for life
and your genuine happiness
and I burst with pride
as I realized that my dreams for you came true
What an extraordinary person you have become
and as you continue to grow
please remember always
how very much
I love you.
A Better Me
The me that I wish I could be
Would never harm a soul,
Could never speak in angry tones,
Or have a selfish goal,
And no more wrong or harmful deeds
I’d ever want to do,
If this perfect ideal me
Could be a picture true.
The me I wish I could become
Will never really be,
But simply wanting such a thing
Will make a better me.

MY BROTHER, MY RIGHT HAND
There are times in life,
When I can't do it all.
I need someone like you, brother,
To talk to when my problems
Surround me like bees from an exploded hive;
And I've been badly stung.
Your advice is good;
Your words bandage my wounds.
This road of life
Is not smooth, but very tricky,
Full of invisible pitfalls;
And you don't know whose face is real
Or who wears a mask.
But I know one thing,
When I walk on that rough path,
There is one hand I can always rely on--
It is yours.
And I no longer walk alone.
-Poem by Mary M. Munio

Moments
" If I had my life to live over,
I would try to make more mistakes next time,
I would relax,
I would lighten up
I would be sillier than I ever have been
I would take more things less seriously
I would be crazier
I would take more chances
I would take more trips
I would climb more mountains,
Swim more rivers,
And watch more sunsets
I would have more real problems
And very few imaginary ones
I have had my moments,
And if I had to do it over again,
I'd have more of them
In fact, I'd have nothing else...
Just moments, one after another
Instead of living so many years ahead of each day
I would go places and do things
And travel lighter than I have
I would stand barefoot earlier in the spring,
And stay that way later in the fall
I would pick more daisies
I would ride on more merry-go-rounds
I would gather more clowns in my life
I would hug more people, and hold more hands
I would meet you sooner and know you longer
And, I would love you better."

" A SMILE costs nothing, but gives much. It enriches those who receive, without making poorer those who give. It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever.
None is so rich or mighty that he can get along without it, and none is so poor but that he can be made rich by it.
A smile creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in business, and is the countersign of friendship. It brings rest to the weary, cheer to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and is nature's best antidote for trouble. Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone until it is given away.
Some people are too tired to give you a smile. Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give."
--- Based on the writings of Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch

REBIRTH OF A CHILD
The day is here, your time to fly,
To spread those wings you've healed;
To show the world, your beauty and shine,
All the strength you possess inside;
You've overcome the odds, found your higher power,
Desiring something different than you've known;
You own your own life, controlled now by none,
No external forces control you;
You are responsible for you, and you alone,
An accomplishment to many is unknown;
You're filled with a peace, glowing a gentle light,
The turmoil is no longer visible;
Coming to terms, understanding the confusion,
Learning from, but moving on from the past;
Making new starts, making new friends,
And re-acquainting with ties you've broken;
Finding your strengths, understanding your weaknesses,
Growing within yourself;
You've blossomed, you've grown,
From your cocoon you now emerge;
My child, you're strong and sure,
Spread your wings and fly!

Love until it is lost;
Hope, until we are faced with doubts."

A MOTHER'S HANDS
These hands tell a story
the story of a mother
a wife, and a woman
These hands tell
of the softness she has
in raising her children
These hands
guide her children
in their ways
helping them when they have problems
and correcting them when they do wrong
I see these hands
reaching out to others
helping in any way
I see these hands folded in prayer
praying and thanking God
for the gifts in her life
and asking for help
with troubled times
On her hand she wears rings
one represents the love she has
for her husband
and the other represents the love she has
for her children and motherhood
I look at these hands
and see that
they are rough
on the edges
from her hard work
and soft on the inside
as a mother's hands should be

A beautiful, well-dressed blonde seats herself in the first class
cabin on a cross-country flight, and settles herself in for the trip,
smiling prettily at admiring passengers seated around her. Underway, a
flight attendant soon approaches the blonde and says, "Miss, I`m
sorry, but I see that your ticket is for coach, and you`re seated in
first class; I`m afraid you`ll have to move." The blonde replies, "I`m
blonde, and I`m beautiful, and I`m going to New York to be a model."
Slightly incredulous, the attendant alerts the senior flight
attendant. The senior attendant approaches the blonde and says,
politely, "I`m sorry, Miss, but since your ticket is for coach, you`ll
have to move back." The blonde replies, sweetly, "I`m blonde, and I`m
beautiful, and I`m going to New York to be a model"-and shows no signs
of moving.
Frustrated, the senior attendant informs the captain, and he says
he`ll deal with the problem. He turns over flight control, walks to
the rear, and observes the blonde seated comfortably in first class.
Approaching her with a smile, the captain leans over and speaks
quietly into the blonde`s ear. Almost immediately, the blonde gathers
her things, gets up, and moves quickly to the coach compartment.
Amazed, the senior flight attendant asks the captain, "Captain, I`m
impressed ... what did you say to her?" he captain grinned slyly and
said, "I just told her that the first class cabin doesn`t go to New
York."

DIARY OF A SNOW SHOVELER
December 8
: 6:00 PM. It started to snow. The first snow of the season and the wife and I took our cocktails and sat for hours by the window watching the huge soft flakes drift down from heaven. It looked like a Grandma Moses Print. So romantic we felt like newlyweds again. I love snow!December 9: We woke to a beautiful blanket of crystal white snow covering every inch of the landscape. What a fantastic sight! Can there be a more lovely place in the Whole World? Moving here was the best idea I've ever had. Shoveled for the first time in years and felt like a boy again. I did both our driveway and the sidewalks. This afternoon the snow plow came along and covered up the sidewalks and closed in the driveway, so I got to shovel again. What a perfect life.
December 12: The sun has melted all our lovely snow. Such a disappointment .My neighbor tells me not to worry, we'll definitely have a white Christmas. No snow on Christmas would be awful! Bob says we'll have so much snow by the end of winter, that I'll never want to see snow again. I don't think that's possible. Bob is such a nice man. I'm glad he's our neighbor.
December 14: Snow, lovely snow! 8" last night. The temperature dropped to -20. The cold makes everything sparkle so. The wind took my breath away, but I warmed up by shoveling the driveway and sidewalks. This is the life! The snowplow came back this afternoon and buried everything again. I didn't realize I would have to do quite this much shoveling, but I'll certainly get back in shape this way. I wish I wouldn't huff and puff so.
December 15: 20 inches forecast. Sold my van and bought a 4x4 Blazer. Bought snow tires for the wife's car and 2 extra shovels. Stocked the freezer. The wife wants a wood stove in case the electricity goes out. I think that's silly. We aren't in Alaska, after all.
December 16: Ice storm this morning. Fell on my ass on the ice in the driveway putting down salt. Hurt like hell. The wife laughed for an hour, which I think was very cruel.
December 17: Still way below freezing. Roads are too icy to go anywhere. Electricity was off for 5 hours. I had to pile the blankets on to stay warm. Nothing to do but stare at the wife and try not to irritate her. Guess I should've bought a wood stove, but won't admit it to her. God I hate it when she's right. I can't believe I'm freezing to death in my own living room.
December 20: Electricity's back on, but had another 14" of the damn stuff last night. More shoveling. Took all day. Goddamn snowplow came by twice. Tried to find a neighbor kid to shovel, but they said they're too busy playing hockey. I think they're lying. Called the only hardware store around to see about buying a snow blower and they're out. Might have another shipment in March. I think they're lying. Bob says I have to shovel or the city will have it done and bill me. I think he's lying.
December 22: Bob was right about a white Christmas because 13 more inches of the white shit fell today, and it's so cold it probably won't melt till August. Took me 45 minutes to get all dressed up to go out to shovel and then I had to piss. By the time I got undressed, pissed and dressed again. I was too tired to shovel. Tried to hire Bob who has a plow on his truck for the rest of the winter; but he says he's too busy. I think the asshole is lying.
December 23: Only 2" of snow today. And it warmed up to 0. The wife wanted me to decorate the front of the house this morning. What is she...nuts??? Why didn't she tell me to do that a month ago? She says she did but I think she's damn well lying.
December 24: 6". Snow packed so hard by snowplow, l broke the shovel. Thought I was having a heart attack. If I ever catch the son of a bitch who drives that snowplow, I'll drag him through the snow by his balls. I know he hides around the corner and waits for me to finish shoveling and then he comes down the street at a 100 miles an hour and throws snow all over where I've just been! Tonight the wife wanted me to sing Christmas carols with her and open our presents, but I was busy watching for the goddamn snowplow.
December 25: Merry Christmas. 20 more inches of the !=3D@x@!x!x1 slop tonight. Snowed in. The idea of shoveling makes my blood boil. God I hate the snow! Then the snowplow driver came by asking for a donation and I hit him over the head with my shovel. The wife says I have a bad attitude. I think she's an idiot. If I have to watch "It's a Wonderful Life" one more time, I'm going to kill her.
December 26: Still snowed in. Why the hell did I ever move here? It was all HER idea. She's really getting on my nerves.
December 27: Temperature dropped to -30 and the pipes froze.
December 28: Warmed up to above -50. Still snowed in. THE BITCH is driving me crazy!!!
December 29: 10 more inches. Bob says I have to shovel the roof or it could cavein. That's the silliest thing I ever heard. How dumb does he think I am?
December 30: Roof caved in. The snow plow driver is suing me for a million dollars for the bump on his head. The wife went home to her mother . 9" predicted.
December 31: Set fire to what's left of the house. No more shoveling.
January 8: I feel so good. I just love those little white pills they keep giving me.
Why am I tied to the bed?

The Trouble Tree
The carpenter I hired to help me restore an old farmhouse had just
finished a rough first day on the job. A flat tire made him lose an
hour of work, his electric saw quit and now his ancient pickup truck
refused to start. While I drove him home, he sat in stony silence.
On arriving he invited me in to meet his family. As we walked toward
the front door, he paused briefly at a small tree, touching the tips of the
branches with both hands.
When opening the door he underwent an amazing transformation. His tan
face was wreathed in smiles and he hugged his two small children and
gave his wife a kiss.
Afterward, he walked me to the car. We passed the tree and my curiosity
got the better of me. I asked him about what I had seen him do earlier.
"Oh that's my trouble tree", he replied. "I know I can't help having
troubles on the job, but one thing for sure, troubles don't belong in
the house with my wife and children. So I just hang them up on the tree
every night when I come home. Then in the morning I pick them up
again."
"Funny thing is," he smiled, "when I come out in the morning to pick
them up, there ain't nearly as many as I remember hanging up the
night before."
Maybe we all should have a TROUBLE TREE.

Some people come into our lives and quickly go.
Others stay for a while move our souls to dance.
They awaken us to understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom.
Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon.
They stay in our lives for awhile, leave footprints on our hearts,
and we are never, ever the same.
