    I love both of these quotes Linda. The single sunbeam quote – makes me think – am I being a ray of sunshine in this world? Sometimes that’s all it takes to brighten another’s day (you’ve brightened mine!).

    How beautiful those words and pictures are. If only we all stopped to breath once in a while to think about the beauty of nature and the beauty of words.
    Thanks for being my friend.
    Love and kisses Helene

    Hi Linda. These are both beautiful quotes. The second one resonated with me. With the first one I had to stop and think about what it meant to me. I realized it is illustrating unconditional love. You don’t have to like someone, or have them like you to be kind to them. Very true!

    Great quotes. I’ve always like metaphors about light overcoming darkness.

    Hi Helene — Welcome to the TLeC community! I agree it’s important to enjoy the beauty around us. Although I usually do it with nature, and take words more for granted. That is a good reminder to appreciate beautiful writing as well. Thanks for being here, and for being my new friend. If it wasn’t for our blogs, we never would have “met.”

    Hi Davina — You got it! You perfectly explained the first quote, and it is so true IMO.

    Hi SpaceAgeSage — Yes, the world is made up of light and darkness. The contrast adds depth to our world. Glad you liked the quotes!

    Hi Barbara Swafford — I’m happy you enjoyed the photo and the quotes. Thanks for stopping by, especially after I read in your interview how many blogs you visit and comment on!!! Wow!
