Thanks for the bunny link! I sent it to my friend who volunteers at bunny rescue. I met with a client yesterday and he had this quote near his doorway. I asked him to send it to me so I could share it with friends. Here it is :)
Promise Yourself
Promise yourself to be so strong
That nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness and prosperity
To every person you meet.
To make all your friends feel
That there is something great in them.
To look at the sunny side of everything
And make your optimism come true.
To think only of the best,
To work only for the best
And expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic
About the success of others
As you are about your own.
To learn from the mistakes of the past
And press on to greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times
And give every living creature you meet a smile.
To give so much time to the improvements of yourself
GZ- Great photo for the quote! One of the things my husband did before we got married was to teach me how to canoe. It was his little test to see how well we work together (he's very good at it- I'm not! LOL!) There were some frustrating moments, but over all it went really well. We're still together after almost 9 years of marriage, so perhaps the test worked- ha ha!
PS- no more computer problems today- thanks for your patience!!
lp- that's funny. Happy you've passed the test of time, too. I used to kayak a lot, and look forward to getting back to it. Oh, no problem, I get peeved with blogger, too. It drives me crazy sometimes!
I enjoy the outdoors, where I gather much of my creative inspiration. I find it necessary to spend time in nature, for balance and sanity. Get Zapped is where I post my photos accompanied by quotes I find intriguing. Get Zen is for sharing my Illustrations, design work, poetry, and other creative outlets. Thanks for stopping by.

That you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry,
Too noble for anger,
Too strong for fear
And too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
