Music is Love in search of a word.
Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
Music . . . can name the unnameable and communicate the unknowable.
Music is well said to be the speech of angels.
If music be the food of love, then play on
If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears the sound of a different drummer. Let him step to the music he hears, however measured or far away. --Henry David Thoreau

Now and forever
forever yours
something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.
Only the heart knows how to find what is precious
walking beside you is more lovely than any dream.
Love is the feeling
you feel you are feeling
when you feel you're feeling
a feeling
you feel you've never felt before.
A fool and his money are a great date
CHERISH to treasure, adore, value & love.

When I saw you I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew.
My heart is ever at your service
Once in a while, right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairy tale.
The heart has its reasons,
that reason knows nothing of. --Pascal

the very angels leave heaven
and come and sit in

Eternity is a long time . . . I'm glad I'll be with you.

It’s who you have beside you
Love is what we go through together
For two people in a marriage to live together day after day is unquestionably the one miracle the Vatican has overlooked. ~Bill Cosby, Love and Marriage
MOTHERHOOD
Mother's of little boys work from SON up until SON down.
Some of my greatest blessings call me Grandma (mom, dad, etc.)
A Mother's Heart is a special place where children always have a Home.
Dearer than our children are the children of our children (OR as dear as our children are the children of our children)
Motherhood is next to divinity. It is the highest, holiest service to be assumed by mankind. . . It places her who honors its holy calling and service next to angels.
Mothers teach our hearts to love
All that I am or hope to be I owe to my angel Mother. --Abe Lincoln
Raising teenagers is like nailing Jell-o to a tree.
Not only our Great-Grandma
But a GREAT Grandma!
Let them be little
How will our children know who they are if they don't know where they came from?
I child proofed my house, but they still got in!
Motherhood is a Marathon
Mirror, mirror on the wall
I am my mother after all.
You're the mother everyone wishes they had.

MUSIC
A bird does not sing because it has an answer.--Chinese Proverb
Where words fail, music speaks.-- Hans Christian Andersen
Music is the art of thinking with sounds.
Music expresses that which can not be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.
Music has been called the speech of the angels; I will go farther and call it the speech of God Himself.
Music is Love in search of a word.
Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
Music . . . can name the unnameable and communicate the unknowable.
Music is well said to be the speech of angels.
If music be the food of love, then play on
If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears the sound of a different drummer. Let him step to the music he hears, however measured or far away. --Henry David Thoreau
PEACE
PEACE**
It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.

No winter lasts for ever; no spring skips its turn
