I don´t care of any wrinklesnear my eyes  because each one means to me, that I had something to smile....
 
love.is.

If you want to know something about someone, listen to your heart.

I don´t care of any wrinklesnear my eyes because each one means to me, that I had something to smile.... love.is.

 
YES!

Love is the only way

Well-said Isabella!
 
Wishing you many things to smile about,
 
Love,
Edda

Peace and joy!

With all of the replies I have been seeing,
I am amazed that no one posted this simple truth . . .
 
That it takes more muscles to frown than to smile . . .

I am sorry to hear of your fall, dear Juliana,
but am happy to hear that you are smiling again.
And no Edda, it wasn't me who mentioned Botox . . .
I am of the club that Isabella belongs to--

Sorry, Sparrow! Two Lil..... and I got the wrong one!

Love,
Edda

Peace and joy!

None of us are exempt dear Edda . . .
I have done it too!
ps. We have received your violent rainstorms this afternoon,
had torrential downpours,
dark skies,
heavy winds with loud thunder and bright lightning, 
much flooding,
and lost power for awhile.
More later
including some pictures I snapped . . .
thank you so much for your thoughtfulness
in sharing the joy . . .

everything counts... ♥

I think we all have wrinkles at the corner of our eyes
when we smile,they are called 'crows feet'
but I call them Sparrow's feet

 
that's true fluffy it takes more muscles to
than  yet it feels the other way around at times
 
I saw your pictures Flsp they are lovely keep snapping!

The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love~and be loved in return♥♥

I smiled today because the little one I care for said to me..
 
'Sandra why don't you be a Nanny in Heaven because God would love you
and so would his kids'.
 
I said ' Bless you but once you go to Heaven you can't come back'.
 
he said 'That's ok Sandra I will come and visit you on Mondays'
 
Bless him so much he really has been 'gifted' to me in many precious ways..

oh Juliana, I am so sorry you fell.  Glad you are all better now. 
 
Edda, it was I who suggested botox for the yoga instructor who was afraid to smile after 8pm.  just a little bit so she can smile after 8. I would never get near the stuff. Cant imagine poisoning oneself to look better.  And really I dont like the idea of cosmetic stuff to stop the natural aging process. 
 
Sandra.................
 
that is one huge awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww  I loveeeeeeee  Shar Pei dogs.  Their wrinkles are a homage to how beautiful wrinkles really can be !!!  oh my heart is so happy with this picture. thank you !!! 
 
Isabella

Barbara  my sister in law opted for botox injections whaich ruptured a small capillary after seeing her I have no desire to age any other way than naturally besides Im afraid of needles
Thats just the kind of reason i would never do cosmetic procedures.  Even if someone offered them for free.
my eldest grandaughter bean calling me her "saggy baggy granny"
The last time I saw one of my brothers. I put my fingers on the sides of my face and pulled up the skin and said "hi remember me?"  And he surely did !!
 
Sandra
ps I have changed ' God ' to Gentle Jesus but that's ok I feel.
 its always okay to change "God to  Jesus"  well in name only, of course !!
he said 'That's ok Sandra I will come and visit you on Mondays'
way cute Sandra !!! 
 
Okay, well have a wonderful day everyone. or night as the case may be when reading this.  love, liliwings with some lines and droops

I smiled today because I heard of a dog that was called after one
of our dear friends
 
 
I smiled today because I actually did not know each room on here
was a 'forum'..I did not see the word 'forum' until now. I was
very puzzled last week when someone mentioned another forum
I searched the web for another gratefuness
Just as well you don't love me for my brains
 
Oh dear no hope for me...
 

The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love~and be loved in return♥♥  


 

Oh dear no hope for me...
 

Oh yes there is . . .
I too,
think of the different threads
as 'rooms'

Sandra

I smiled today because I heard of a dog that was called after one of our dear friends

Okay Sandra, are you going to keep me guessing?  whats the dog's name?
Edda?  Betty?  Isabella?  Jude?  Sparrow?  Buba?????  God forbid the dogs name is liliwings    I will be curious to know.
 
As for the concept of what a  forum is,  i was talking with my mother the other night. She was talking about a friend of hers who moved back to Washington DC manyyyyy decades ago when her husband became the legal advisor for a then vice president.  Very smart man.   People thought the wife, my mothers friend,  was veryyyyyy dippy. And by all appearences she was.  But she went to an excellent college in the early 40s.  And my mother told me that people say she was actually brilliant.  I said "Brilliant,  not just smart??"  Mother said, apparantly she was brilliant from what I hear.   So my dear, you possibly have great brilliance.  see?   you just always knew only one forum existed on a website.  no biggie sweetie   you are smart.  and remember dippyness can also be brilliance<  just ask the people who knew that woman.

No need to spend endless hours, days, weeks searching for the rainbow.  Open your heart and your eyes to see and know you are the rainbow you seek.  Rejoyce in the beauty of the co-creation of you.

Dear Liliwings,
 
Let me solve the puzzle for you, since I want you to be able to sleep tonight, something, I hope, Sandra is doing!
 
Last evening I checked on candles with my name to see not only the ones I had lit but also to find any candles with which I had been gifted. There was one from Germany. When I clicked on it, I discovered that the candle was not for me but for a canine namesake! . I really had to smile since I never before encountered a dog with my name!
I told Sandra about it since I knew it would make her smile!
 
Good night!
Love,
Edda

Peace and joy!

Edda
ahhhhhh okay now I understand.

Liliwings,
 
Let me translate what it said, "In memory of Edda, a dear Labrador-Dalmatian."
 
Many of us have lit candles for ailing and departed cats and dogs, but I never associated my name with a beloved companion.
 
Love,
Edda

Peace and joy!
