For Mothers



Soon after your daughter is born, get a blank notebook and write down the funny things she says and does.



Keep doing this through her teens and, eventually, you'll have a hilarious snapshot-biography of your daughter that she will love reading at least as much as you do.





For Daughters



Share your latest favourite novel with her. You owe her for all the times she read your favourite bedtime story over and over and  ...</description>

Anyhow read the words, they sent tears to my eyes because I really do think at the moment that I can apply them to me.......

I guarantee you will remember the tale of the Wooden Bowl tomorrow, a week from now, a month from now, 

a year from now. 



A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and four-year-old grandson. 

The old man's hands trembled, his eyesight was blurred, and his step faltered 



The family ate together at the table. But the elderly grandfather's shaky hands and 

failing sight made eating difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor.

Our 14 year old dog, Abbey, died last month. The day after she died, my 4 year old daughter Meredith was crying and talking about how much she missed Abbey.. She asked if we could write a letter to God so that when Abbey got to heaven, God would recognize her. I told her that I thought we could so she dictated these words: 



Dear God, 

Will you please take care of my dog? She died yesterday and is with you in heaven. I miss her very much. I am happy that you  ...</description>

One day a fisherman was lying on a beautiful beach, with his fishing pole propped up in the sand and his solitary line cast out into the sparkling blue surf.



He was enjoying the warmth of the afternoon sun and the prospect of catching a fish. About that time, a businessman came walking down the beach, trying to relieve some of the stress of his workday. He noticed the fisherman sitting on the beach and decided to find out why this fisherman was fishing instead of  ...</description>

Something to touch your hearts……hopefully. 





The park bench was deserted as I sat down to read, beneath the long, straggly branches of an old willow tree. Disillusioned by life with good reason to frown, for the world was intent on dragging me down. And if that weren't enough to ruin my day, a young boy approached me, all tired from play. He stood right before me with his head tilted down and said with great excitement, &quot;Look what I found!&quot; In his hand was  ...</description>

			<description>I hear fluttering.

He moves softly, smoothly &amp; ever so valiantly throughout my home. His voice is low. When he speaks it flutters. Each sounding syllable simply flutters. It flutters rapidly like the wings of a small bird in flight. No word is recognized yet his persistence is continuous. He acknowledges the presence of his fellow spirits, yet befriending none. 30 seconds have past &amp; he is gone.



Those who linger seem to be in desperate need of companionship, attention &amp; validation.  ...</description>

			<dc:creator>Piscesgal</dc:creator>
			<description>One day my office at our Centre, I picked up a small quartz crystal that a friend had given to me during one of my visits to the Rock and Gem Shop in Edmonton, Alberta. About one and a half inches in length, it had a clump of smaller crystals at each end, and reminded me of a legless miniature French poodle. As I held it in my hand, I mentioned to James that I could feel an odd sensation inside my left ear, like a gentle tickling.  



Without a word, James steered me quickly towards The Chair  ...</description>

			<description>Precious Jasper

				

Our reasons for seeking to understand the meaning of life are surely as much a conundrum as the living experience itself. But equally perplexing is the savoring or otherwise of each mortal drama, imbued as it is with its unique aroma or energy of the universe. But does it hold a key to new awareness or understanding… if we are but ready to receive its message? 



Shortly after making a move to Edmonton a few years ago after touring the Okanagan Valley, my husband,  ...</description>

			<description>[center]The Producer of the Plot



When we start to climb that high ascent

The journey seems so far

But as we take the very first step

To finding who we are



The path may appear to be so steep

And rocky underfoot

But footholds are rarely seen as such

Though found where they are put



Because the ascent is fully planned

Before we come this way

And every event throughout our life

Is staged just like a play



Each act reveals the costumer is

producer of the plot
