Long ago in a small, far away village, there was a place known as the House of 1000 Mirrors. A small, happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit. When he arrived, he bounced happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To his great surprise, he found himself staring at 1000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his. He smiled a great smile, and was answered with 1000 great smiles just as warm and friendly. As he left the house, he thought to himself, "This is a wonderful place. I will come back and visit it often."

In this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as the first one, decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door. When he saw the 1000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him, he growled at them and was horrified to see 1000 little dogs growling back at him. As he left, he thought to himself, "That is a horrible place, and I will never go back there again."

All the faces in the world are mirrors. What kind of reflections do you see in the faces of the people you meet

                                                Contentment

                                   William Shakespeare

                                                                    King Henry6,part3 ,scene1  

My crown is in my heart , not on my head;

Not deck'd whit diamonds and Indian stones,

Nor to be seen :my crown is called content ;

A crown it is that seldom kings enjoy.

TO A KEEPER!

One day a mother died.

                   And on that clear, cold morning,
in the warmth of her bedroom,
the daughter was struck with
the pain of learning that sometimes
there isn't any more.  

No more hugs,
no more lucky moments to celebrate together,
no more phone calls just to chat,
No more 'just one minute'  

Sometimes, what we care about the most goes away.
never to return before we can say good-bye,
Say 'I Love You.' 

So while we have it . . it's best we love it . .
And care for it and fix it when it's broken
and take good care of it when it's sick.  

This is true for marriage .... and friendships ..

And children with bad report cards;
And dogs with bad hips;
And aging parents and grandparents
We keep them because they are worth it,
Because we cherish them!  

Some things we keep --
like a best friend who moved away
or a classmate we grew up with.
There are just some things that
make us happy, No matter what. 

Life is iportant,
and so are the people we know
And so, we keep them close!  

I received this from someone today
who thought I was a 'KEEPER'!

Then I sent It to the people
I Think of in the same way!
Now it's your turn to send this to all those people
who Are 'keepers' in your life!
