Gratitude

There is so much to be grateful for in this life. We live we dream and we carry on till the end never knowing our fate. We are driven by love and hope. Our life's wouldn't be same without children. We constantly try to improve their lives and leave them with love and a dream. Until we die we are givers. That is the essence of a life well lived. It's not so much what you do it is what you give back. God bless the soul that is gentle and loving for that is what we all live for and dream of in the time we are given on this earth.
To surrender to your soul is to realize that you have lived a good life and have given as much as you can.
Across the river under the trees you will find harmony and peace. Quietly the answers will come and leave you peaceful at the day's end.
And so it goes. The cycle continues...

This is BEAUTIFUL Stephen! I love your sensible and humble philosophy. It is far better to be a giver, and to be able to give back is the icing on the cake! #7. ; )
