Wishing a Happy Day to you All!

Little Things

Never neglect the little things. Never skimp on that extra effort, that additional few minutes, that soft word of praise or thanks, that delivery of the very best that you can do. It does not matter what others think, it is of prime importance, however, what you think about you. You can never do your best, which should always be your trademark, if you are cutting corners and shirking responsibilities. You are special. Act it. Never neglect the little things.
- Og Mandino

Live Up to the Light You Have

 Ebony Jewelwing Damselfly.  
I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. 
I am not bound to succeed, 
but I am bound to live up to what light I have.

~Abraham Lincoln

Nature's Heart

If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you, if the simple things of nature have a message that you understand, rejoice, for your soul is alive. 
~ Eleonora Duse

Nature's Connection

In nature we never see anything isolated, but everything in connection with something else which is before it, beside it, under it and over it.

~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
