		<description>Yes, we need to stop and smell the flowers from time to time. It will give us the chance to regroup. I&#039;m glad you did! :)</description>

		<description>To my wonderful boss! Happy Birthday, Dine! You are a blessing to me and many others! Seriously, I cannot imagine people greeting your HBD half-heartedly. It&#039;s just not possible. Love this blog. Love that you have a colorful pocket garden. GOD BLESS YOU MORE AND MORE.</description>

		<description>Dine, 

It is nice to see you back spinning lyrical phrases into tangible visions. You are a great writer and one to look-up to and try to emulate. I do.

As we enter into the second half of our lives we become a bit more reflective having lived through this and that along the way and now having something to reflect on. Remember the victories and forget the discomfort of lessons learned. Right or wrong we are who we are and are always learning and changing along the way. 

What is in the past is simply in the past as the future is wide open for us to make of what we can. Forgive yourself and forgive others and don&#039;t forget to acknowledge yourself and acknowledge others at every opportunity.

Keep safe. Be well. Enjoy!!

ps: this is what currently amuses me:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwVVpwBKUp0</description>
