     People are not so very hard to fathom

Just take a step back and watch what they

consider TRUTH AND BEAUTY...
 
 

 

I am an observer of people. 

These are my observations:

If you smile at someone, they will smile back at you.

Someone who did something wrong, will never look you in the eye.

Happy people sparkle.

Braggers talk loud.

Children are beautiful and reflect honesty and goodness.

Older people are valuable and love to share their wisdom.

Those without are often more willing to give their last crust of bread
more so than those with plenty.

Those with plenty worry about hiding what they have.

Happiness cannot be bought.

Smiles are free.

Frowns cause wrinkles.

Worry is pointless.

Jealousy is destructive.

Envy is poison.

Greed is contemptible.

Joy is a choice of being.

Tears are a release of the heart.

Your soul is a reflection of your life.

Money is a mortal tool for power. It can be used for

good or evil. It can be collected and spent. It can buy

people and things. People who can be bought with money

are sad people. Money does not bring happiness. Only

love can bring happiness. Money is just paper backed up

by gold.

If you can look in the mirror today and love yourself, consider

yourself a success!!

It matters not what brand of clothes you wear today, if you

are kind and giving to another person, you are a good person!!

Deceitful people cannot look in their own eyes for the truth lies

there and the truth is too hard to face. It is easier for them

to paint a world of illusion to cover their lies.

The truth will always prevail. It is good to live honestly and

love honestly and with a good and generous heart.

Be true to yourself.

Sing to you own song and do not let anyone tell you how to live.

Love yourself always.

Give of yourself to someone less fortunate and your words will

come back to you many times over with blessings and gifts.

Be grateful for the food on your table and the simple things that

keep you alive.

Be happy to be alive!!

Be loving always!!

I hope this list of reminders makes you smile.

It makes me smile

:)
