I received this in an e-mail from someone and the author is unknown.

I think it's very wise...

Work like you don't need the money.
Love like you've never been hurt.
Dance like nobody's watching.
Sing like nobody's hearing.
Live like it's heaven on earth.

If we are working at something that is our passion then we are working as ahrd as we can and want. Hopefully we make enough to support ourselves.

Loving like we've never been hurt is hard and I think we still have to be a little careful with this one. If we can do it...more power to us!

Dancing and singing like no one is watching could be scarey, but we need to let go of our inhibitions.

And if we can live like this is heaven, just think about what great things we would be doing with our time!

Happy day! Think happy thoughts!

Song of Solomon - Chapter 7

How beautiful your sandaled feet,
O prince's daughter!
Your graceful legs are like jewels,
the work of a craftsman's hands.
2 Your navel is a rounded goblet
that never lacks blended wine.
Your waist is a mound of wheat
encircled by lilies.
3 Your breasts are like two fawns,
twins of a gazelle.
4 Your neck is like an ivory tower.
Your eyes are the pools of Heshbon
by the gate of Bath Rabbim.
Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon
looking toward Damascus.

...not sure I'd like my nose described as the tower of Lebanon - of course I have no idea if that is a small tower or a large one!.......I think women were more "robust" in those days and appreciated for that robustness - a waist like a mound of wheat was probably a good thing........at least thats what I'd tell everybody [Razz]

I do love reading Song of Solomon though for its poetic beauty...
