Contentment is...

Not the fullfillment of what I want,

But satisfaction in what I have.

Yeah, uh-huh - whatever :)

You Are 100% Lady

Touching words from the mouth of babes.

What does Love mean? A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, "What does love mean?" The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think:

"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love." Rebecca- age 8

"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth."
Billy - age 4

"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other."
Karl - age 5

"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs."
Chrissy -age 6

"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired."
Terri - age 4

"Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK"
Danny - age 7

"Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss"
Emily - age 8

"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen."
Bobby - age 7

"If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate,"
Nikka - age 6

"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday."
Noelle - age 7

"Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well."
Tommy - age 6

"During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling. He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore."
Cindy - age 8

"My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night."
Clare - age 6

"Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken."
Elaine-age 5

"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford."
Chris - age 7

"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day."
Mary Ann - age 4

"I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones."
Lauren - age 4

"You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget."
Jessica - age 8

This is my favorite :)
"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you." Karen - age 7

I am: me
I miss: the innocence and carefree of my childhood – life was so much less complicated then
I want: to make my own decisions
I have: blue eyes – a stubborn streak a mile wide – 10 fingers – skills -
I hate: spiders, not knowing what everyone else seems to know, not being in control, having decisions made for me
I fear: being alone
I play: piano, hard to get
I never: listen the first time
I hear: beautiful music
I care: what others think of me, but not so much that it rules my life – if ya don’t like me, so be it
I smile: at odd moments, leaving my friends wondering what’s going through my head – because the world is a marvelous picture of God’s endless majesty
I wonder: what Katie’s doing right now :) - what The Lord has planned for me
I poke: Gloria :) - my nose into things that aren’t always my business
I love: God, and many many many many things… I can’t even begin to list them
I mess: up my room usually as soon as I clean it
I think: too often and about too many things that I can’t do anything about
I always: breathe :) it’s kind of essential – try to make others laugh – put on a good front so people don’t know I’m sad
I am not: perfect
I wish: I knew
I keep: hoping and praying
I can't: imagine life without the knowledge that there is salvation
I write: poetry - in my journals and notebooks more and more lately
I lose: my head when I’m upset, my heart very easily, my composure slowly
I smell: good :D I just took a shower
I confuse: everyone
I need: the mercy of my Savior or I would be lost
I should: go to bed
I dance: when no one is looking and the music overflows from my heart
I sing: almost constantly – it improves the mood so much
I laugh: too often, but it is always from the bottom of my heart. Life is too short not to find the joy in every moment
I cry: too often also, because I forget that God is in control and that He IS working EVERYTHING for good!! What an amazing promise!!
I talk: sheesh, all the time – you can’t shut me up :P
I: am me, am a child of God, am a friend to many I hope, am imperfect, and yet am loved

All’Improvviso Amore

Il vento che soffia piano

Questa notte cambia il mio destino

E sento che il cuore ancora si sorprenderà

La vita ora ha più senso

Se guardo questo cielo immenso

E la luna innamorata si illuminerà di me

E sarà..

All'improvviso amore, come il mare

M'invade il cuore e l'anima e mi salverà

E sarà naturale come respirare

L'aria in me, mi parlerà di te

Adesso tutto è diverso

Respiro te nell'universo

I tuoi occhi son due stelle nell'oscurità

All'improvviso amore, come il mare

M'invade il cuore e l'anima e mi salverà

E sarà naturale, come respirare

E sarà vero amore, che guarisce il cuore

Luce dentro me.....nascerà!

burning..

ouch. i'm a lobster...... a very much in pain, bright red lobster :)
