A CREED TO LIVE BY...

Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart.
Cling to them as you would your life, for without them life is meaningless.
Don't give up when you still have something to give.
Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect
. It's the fragile thread that binds us to each other.
Don't dismiss your dreams.
To be without dreams is to be without hope, to be without hope is to be without purpose.
Don't be afraid to encounter risks.
It's by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
Don't let life slip through your fingers by living in the past or in the future. 
By living one day at a time you live all days of your life.
...and whatever you do...
Don't forget to have FUN..
It's good for the soul.

Now....I am off to have a facial, try the new makeup
and get all
beautified....

The beautiful  PINK PEARLS 
used in this post were a lucky win from
3 PICKLES.
MARNIE lives *down under* and she has an amazing blog.
Her photos are really nice.
When you go by to see her, would you kindly tell her bj said HI.
"Thanks so so much, Marnie, for the pearls.
They are just beautiful and
I LOVE THEM !"

It's me again - I agree w/Cheri (who commented after me last time)... your photos and words rival one another (in an outstanding way). (I'm working on getting my avatar to show up on Google, so I'm back and forth here. ) :) Jenn

You have a way of finding the right words. All very true. I have never had a facial. Love getting massages or pedicures.

Kathleen said...

I have never had a facial, manicure, pedicure or massage. I do get my cut and color once a month and that breaks the budget.
Think I will go gray and let it grow so I can wear a bun, Lol!
The pearls are lovely.

Marnie said...

Beautiful post and the photos are (as usual) lovely. I'm so glad you loved the pearls. I'm thinking I should do another give away soon??
Thank you also for your sweet comments about my blog.
Have a lovely facial and a beautiful weekend.
