Depicted
pictorially by Winter's snow scenes:
(with
thanks to Tom for this rendition)
Life
isn't fair ~ but, it's still good.
A skier crossing snowy terrain ~ and has his Husky dogs following
him
across a snow-laden slope with the sky beyond and sun rays up ahead.
When
in doubt, just take the small step one at a time.
Life
is too short to waste time, hating someone.
View across a snowy village with snowy road leading into town.
Escarpment-like forested hills rise far away with snowy blue sky
above.
Your
job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and
parents will.
Cry
with someone; it's more healing than crying alone.
A close-up photo of snow-laden evergreens
and beyond, a snowy haze of friendly habitation.
It's
OK to get angry with God. He can take it!
You
don't have to win every argument.
The mountain peaks are shrouded in snow,
retaining their beauty thro'out winter.
Agree
to disagree!
Save
for retirement starting with your first pay cheque.
A long narrow peninsula is home to farm buildings,
snow-covered deciduous trees framing a far-away village.
Like
the cold river, rippling toward the shores.
Don't
compare your life to others.
Spectacular snow-heavy branches on trees
surrounding a cold, cold reflecting stream.
You
have no idea what their journey is all about.
Every
day can change in the blink of an eye.
Barren mountain slopes have a few trees ~ branches snow ladened
and a lonely farm home on a rising hill
Take
a deep breath; it calms the mind.
Get
rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyous.
An overhead view of snow country ~ two rooftops only shown
with a few ever-so-stalwart evergreens.
Whatever
doesn't kill you, really makes you stronger.
It's
never too late to have a happy childhood,
but
the second one is up to you and no one else.
Heavy snow has covered the whole rolling hillside
and only the roofs can be seen.
When
it comes to going after what you love in life,
don't
take 'no' for an answer.
Be
eccentric now ~ don't wait for old age to wear purple.
A long covered snowy road gives direction
to a few buildings and woodland in the distance.
In
the foreground, a tall light standard with circular glass ball
holds
within it a light.
No
one is in charge of your happiness, but you.
Along a frigid pond is a church with steeple
pointing through clouds to the sky above.
Frame every so-called disaster with these words:
In
five years, will this matter?
Always
choose Life.
From the cold sky, only the tops of a castle and cathedral roof is
seen
and through the thin clouds, is rural settled land below.
Enjoy
life's embellishments while still available.
Forgive
eveyone, everything.
What other people think of you is none of their business.
A mountain, hilly landscape and snow-covered foreground
birngs one's attention to home and roof-top huts.
Time
heals about everything. Give time, time.
Believe
in miracles!
Peaceful blue sky, two tall snowy trees and moutain slopes along the
side.
A locomotive train plogs along a railroad
beside snowy trees and hanging icicles..
Your
children get but only one childhood.
Icicled foreground and star bursts in the sky
seem to meet the snow-capped mountain spheres.
All that matters, in the end, is that you loved!
Get
outside every day: miracles are awaiting everywhere.
Snowy field meets frost-touched trees
and overhead is a blue, blue sky
with wind-driven lightning-like streaks.
On a snowy hillside, a rusty-yellow flower-plant burst forth
with a tall icy cap, awakening the day!
No matter how you feel ~ Get Up! Dress Up! Show Up!
A glorious rock terrain with an erect cross atop a crag may welcome
you.
Life is not tied with a bow ~ but it's still a GIFT.
