| My "Garden" Of Words |

| Just like flowers in a garden, we all need things to grow.. There are physical needs such as nourishment, but we also need ingrediants for emotional growth, such as love, support, encouragement and humor. I have gathered together some quotes that I feel are encouraging, inspirational and some are just plain 'ol funny to read.. Some of these have special meaning in my life, and there are others that I may not entirely agree with but they make me think a little. I haven't organized them in any manner, so just read through them. I hope you find some that you enjoy. |
