- Can You Give Me the Recipe -

A recipe on how to live life? How is it? Magazines offer both on diet recipes herbal medicines and cake recipes ... But not the recipe for life itself Life is what you make it to Do you want to grow old or is your life short Do you want to get rich or always be poor If you are successful or not .... who knows .... Everything is up to yourself If you do your best you need no recipe Live your life and grow old and gray Your life has many good memories, and those are the we hide in our inner Happiness in life is to have warm memories in the heart 29.10.2012 A-L Andresen :) Copyright © All Rights Reserved

For me generous portions of Love, a sprinkle of sarcasm, generous portions of laughter, good health or at the least a good attitude all wrapped with a house full of family and friends, good music, food and a glass of wine. All infused with the Love of God.

I really like this..I guess you've got to make some mistakes and figure it out along the way. Thanks for always commenting on my work. You are very sweet! I see you've been writing Haikus.
