About me:
Just trying to get everything done before I die... so much to do, so little time!

I stay happy by living adventurously, loving freely, learning constantly and laughing frequently - sounds like fluff, but it's pretty much exactly my philosophy.

Who I'd like to meet:
people who focus on the journey and take the destination as an added bonus

TGIF!! OH Yes, Friday is here!! Hope your weekend is filled with lots of fun.. Enjoy my friend..


A Simple Hug

There's something in a simple hug
That always warms the heart;
It welcomes us back home
And makes it easier to part.

A hug's a way to share the joy
And sad times we go through,
Or just a way for friends to say
They like you 'cause you're you.

Hugs are meant for anyone
For whom we really care,
From your grandma to your neighbor,
Or a cuddly teddy bear.

A hug is an amazing thing -
It's just the perfect way
To show the love we're feeling
But can't find the words to say.

It's funny how a little hug
Makes everyone feel good;
In every place and language,
It's always understood.

And hugs don't need new equipment,
Special batteries or parts
Just open up your arms
And open up your hearts.

--Author Unknown--


Hugs and Smiles.. Jr
