An Irish Blessing:
May the sweet music of laughter lift your spirits.
May the cool waters of quietude
refresh your soul.
May life gently lead you through its lush
fields of good fortune.

and understanding.
And may He continue to hold you in the
palm of His hand. |

Birthdays:
Birthdays become more important each year
because the portrait of our lives
comes closer to being
completed, and the fine
definition of maturity is far
more important than the broad
strokes of youth.
May you continue to shape, define, and
color your life until the
masterpiece that is you is finished.
Happy Birthday!

Children Learn what they Live:
If children live with
criticism, they learn to condemn
hostility, they learn to fight
ridicule, they learn to be shy
shame, they learn to feel guilty.
If children live with
tolerance, they learn to be patient
encouragement, they learn confidence
approval, they learn to like themselves
praise, they learn to appreciate
fairness, they learn justice
security, they live with faith.
If children live with acceptance and friendship,
they learn to find love in the world

I am a Policeman's Wife:
A policemans wife, Im proud to be
But in my heart I know
He might not make it home again
Each time hes called to go.
I believe that as his wife,
I have a special part to play
To encourage him and love him
And support him all the way.
He always does his very best
But society has its flaws
And hes in danger every day
From those who break the law.
And so I say a prayer and hope
That there will come a time
When we dont have to live in fear
Of violence or of crime.
I know he is the bravest man
That I will every see
And I will try, in my own way
To match that bravery.

Leadership:
The call to leadership is the call to the circle, to the
round-table...the call to stand shoulder to shoulder with
those whose lives have trusted you.
The leader...
is one who knows the power of a gathered,
committed group and who listens for the wisdom breathed
in such collaborative consciousness.
The leader...
is not far ahead of others beckoning them to
follow, but is in the center taking the pulse while never
losing sight of the horizon.
The leader ....
is the servant of the communitys vision and the
one who keeps it alive when it falters and fans the flame
when it flickers.
Leadership...blesses those why give and those who receive,
and often it is hard to know one from the other.

Making a Difference:
One hundred years from now it will not matter
what kind of car you drove, what kind
of house you lived in,
how much you had in the bank,
or what your clothes looked like.
But the world may be a little better because you were
important in the life of a child

Your Children:
Your children are not your children. They are the
sons and daughters of lifes longings for itself.
They come through you but not from you. And
though they are with you, they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
for they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not
to make them like you. For life goes not
backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children
as living arrows are sent forth
