Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy. --Thich Nhat Hanh



We either make ourselves happy or miserable. The amount of work is the same.--Carlos Castaneda



Resolve to keep happy and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties.--Helen Keller

The pleasantest things in the world are pleasant thoughts: and the great art of life is to have as many of them as possible. –Montaigne
Happiness is as a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but which if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you. --Nathaniel Hawthorne

    Such gorgeous spring images, Sylvia!
    Your headers are getting even better. The newest one made me laugh out loud, again.

    Wishing you a wonderful week ahead,
    hugs,

    I like the “happiness is a butterfly” quote. There must be a lot of them in the large garden (last photo) you have pictured. :)

    How beautiful is the quote by Helen
    I admire her very much. Being blind and deaf and still optimistic enough to enjoy life, is an enormous achievement.

    Thanks for your visit! I wonder if somebody will solve the quiz. I don't think it is so difficult.

    I love the flowers! I haven't had an opportunity to plant mine yet what with the rain and the work. I want to do it today if I have time after I deliver the cakes.
