"Begin doing what you want to do now.
We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment,
sparkling like a star in our hand...
and
melting like a snowflake..."

I held a moment in my hand, brilliant as a star,
fragile as a flower,
a tiny sliver of one hour.
I dropped it carelessly, Ah! I didn't know,
I held opportunity."

In gratitude and love, in joyful spirit and hope, I celebrate this day!
"WooHoo!"

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARGARET. Love the hands and selected poems. Nice to see one of the wonderful Lebanese Kahil Gibran - I had his book called THE PROPHET when I was in hospital over 20 years ago and still dip into it regularly and bought others.
Happy birthday, Margaret! Hope you are having a superb day!

Hi Margaret,
I loved the mendhi hand designs. When I lived in Fiji I often saw Indian girls with these hand decorations. Love the Prophet text too. Another book, Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam is also a favourite and I was lucky to buy one on a secondhand stall at our church car boot sale.

Thanks Paceli and Wendy! I would love to actually have this done to me!
Thanks Susan...Love you! :)
