sharing a video - What a Wonderful World... and a message...

Easter is a very reflective time for me. Spring is, too. There is so
much to be grateful for... new life, new hope, beauty, sacrifice, love.

I wanted to share with you my favorite song of all time. I get the
biggest grin on my face, and occasionally a tear, every time I view
this. The lyrics are below. I am sharing this because I believe true
gratitude can bring much joy - and you can sense alot of both in this
video. I wanted to let you all know that I am grateful to each one
of you for your visits. It has brought me joy =). God bless...

Wishing all of you a blessed
and joyful Easter. Love, Val xox

What a Wonderful World with Louis Armstrong

"What a Wonderful World"
- by Louis Armstrong

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
They're really saying I love you.

I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll never know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself what a wonderful world.

Audrey Hepburn poem...

I love this poem that Audrey Hepburn wrote.
It was read at her funeral years later...


For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed; never throw out anyone.
Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others.
