Every time you make someone laugh you have given one of the greatest gifts.

There is someone who will smile, who will laugh when you behave as….you!

Only you!

The full moon shone upon their cheeks.

The seeds were planted for several weeks,

A song wafted like vapor from a basement club.

A star tried to beat the moon and be brighter.

A brave warrior became hero and heroine.

All yours.

My favorite restaurant at the moment, serves Italian cusine.

The food is good and fresh, nothing exceptional, the location is splendid.

The service is always erratic, there is a sense of predictable chaos.

It is the sheer genuineness of the welcome., the natural personalities of waiters and other that is such a pleasing contrast to the superficially formal, the flacidly cold behaviour in most other eating establishments nearby.

Strange which the most important ingredients can be!

I still think music is a great boon to anyone,

In some cultures music fits in with each day like water is essential to life.

Your music, your tunes, will be the stuff of inspiration, contemplation or whatever benefit in mood influencing moment, you choose.

So many put their all into their music.

They would want us to, but more, it is so well worth our while taking advantage of the results.

And perhaps, our results are also better for the music in our lives.

Play on.

Packing a suitcase is an exercise in restraint. There’s always more you can take on a journey than you will need.

Balance is the thing. The comfort of carrying little versus the assurance of having everything you want with you.

Picturing yourself walking out into the city you are visiting or countryside to explore helps.

I find rigid rules do not work.
But some use a strict guideline and are happy with that.

Main thing is to enjoy the journey and be nourished by it. It is you, not your luggage that will be enriched by a new experience!
