As you turn a year older
today,
I am thinking of you and

I am wishing you nothing but happiness,
Pure Bliss.
A another year full of smiles
and plenty of laughter.
Reminders that light up your heart.
And dreams that warm your nights.
I wish for you to
never loose your special touch.
Taking the most heartfelt words,
adding your beautiful pen,
and thinking of some wonderful poetic
twist to top it all off.
I wish another year
full of Hugs from loved ones
near and far.
Kisses from those who mean
everything in your world.
And good times that will
live forever in your memory.
I wish for you a field of beautiful
Sunflowers,
They are alot like you.
Always looking up towards the sky,
and knowing that even in the dark,
The sun shall shine once more.
I want you to have the best
birthday,
Take the time today sit
and think....
Catch your breath and thoughts.
And I am sending all these wishes
for you my dear friend
Upon Butterfly Wings,
Knowing they will come a rest
their wings upon your shoulder
as you sIt and read your beautiful words to each one,
and that is when
the wishes then shall be laid softly
from their wings
upon your heart.
Happy Birthday Dear Friend!

(from Lisa!)

Birthday Wishes

May your spirit keep the freedom
of a butterfly in spring
and your heart be filled always
with the joys of simple things.
May your essence claim the freshness
of the new laid morning dew.
All of this... and more...

Received Gifts:

Thank you so very much!

Dear Regina,

I first became aquainted with you when I applied

to become a Flutterby with The Soul Sisters.

After a short while, I felt as though I had known you

for years even though we had not met.

Since then you have been a very good friend,

one that I am honored to know.

You have done so much for us, The Butterflies,

to support us, inspire us, lend an ear when we

are going through tough times, and never ask for anything in return.

So we believed it would be nice to do something for you.

After much thought, and searching for just the right theme,

this is what I came up with. I hope you will like it as much as we

have loved making it for you.

How Can One Explain

How can one explain
A feeling in the air?
How can one explain
A feeling very rare?

How can one define
A person always there…
One who says
No matter what I care.

A lot of times I think of this
When I am feeling down
And by the time that I am through
High spirits come around.

Even words from an angel's tongue
Are limited, this is true.
No words can explain
The kind of friend like you!

Happy Birthday Regina

August 31st was a very special day,

For this is your Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Special Treasure

God gave a gift to the world when you were born—
a person who loves, who cares,
who sees a person’s need and fills it,
who encourages and lifts people up,
who spends energy on others
rather than herself,
someone who touches each life she enters,
and makes a difference in the world,
because ripples of kindness flow outward
as each person you have touched, touches others.
Your birthday deserves to be a national holiday,
because you are a special treasure
for all that you’ve done.
May the love you have shown to others
return to you, multiplied.
I wish you the happiest of birthdays,
and many, many more,
so that others have time to appreciate you
as much as I do.

A friend gives hope
When life is low
A friend's a place
Where you can go
A friend is honest
A friend is true
A friend is precious
My friend is You

Happy Birthday to YOU
Happy Birthday to YOU
Happy Birthday , Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday to YOU

God made the world with a heart full of love,
Then He looked down from Heaven above,

And saw that we all need a helping hand,
Someone to share with, who'll understand.

He made special people to see us through
The glad times and the sad times, too;

A person on whom we can always depend,
Someone we can call a friend.

God made friends so we'll carry a part
Of His perfect love in all our hearts.

And That's Why God Made Friends

Thank you for being my friend.

Loving Hugs,

From

Mary

from Lady Lyla:

JOYFUL THINGS

At times I'm so discouraged with problems of the day
I fail to see the joyful things that are along the way.

When troubles overwhelms me, it's then my nerves may fray.
That's when I need to take the time to simply sit and pray.

Reflecting on God's many gifts, it makes me so aware...
Of all the joy in little things around me everywhere!

I must try to remember... Though problems come my way,
Not to miss the joyful things and the beauty of the day.

~Unknown~

(wise words from Lady Lyla)

Letting Go

To let go doesn't mean to stop caring,
It means I can't do it for someone else.
To let go is not to cut myself off, it's
The realization that I can't control another. To let go is not to enable, but to allow learning
From natural consequences.
To let go is to admit powerlessness, which
Means the outcome is not in my hands.
To let go is not to try to change or blame
Another, I can only change myself.

To let go is not to care for, but to care about.
To let go is not to fix, but to be supportive.
To let go is not to judge, but to allow
Another to be a human being.
To let go is not to be in the middle
Arranging all the outcome, but to allow
Others to effect their own outcom

To let go is not to be protective, it is to permit
Another to face reality.
To let go is not to deny, but to accept.
To let go is not to nag, scold, or argue,
But to search out my own shortcomings
And to correct them

To let go is not to adjust everything to
My desires, but to take each day as it comes,
And to cherish the moment.
To let go is not to criticize or regulate anyone,
But to try to become whatever dream I can be.
To let go is not to regret the past,
But to grow and live for the future.
To let go is to fear less and to love m

The Flower
BY
Lord Alfred Tennyson

Once in a golden hour
I cast to earth a seed.
Up there came a flower,
The people said, a weed.

To and fro they went
Thro' my garden bower,
And muttering discontent
Cursed me and my flower.

Then it grew so tall
It wore a crown of light,
But thieves from o'er the wall
Stole the seed by night.

Sow'd it far and wide
By every town and tower,
Till all the people cried,
"Splendid is the flower!"

Read my little fable:
He that runs may read.
Most can raise the flowers now,
For all have got the seed.

And some are pretty enough,
And some are poor indeed;
And now again the people
Call it but a weed.

(send in by Lady Lyla)

Teaching
BY
Khalil Gibran

Then said a teacher, "Speak to us of Teaching."

And he said:

No man can reveal to you aught but that which already lies half asleep in the dawning of our knowledge.

The teacher who walks in the shadow of the temple, among his followers, gives not of his wisdom but rather of his faith and his lovingness.

If he is indeed wise he does not bid you enter the house of wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind.

The astronomer may speak to you of his understanding of space, but he cannot give you his understanding.

The musician may sing to you of the rhythm which is in all space, but he cannot give you the ear which arrests the rhythm nor the voice that echoes it.

And he who is versed in the science of numbers can tell of the regions of weight and measure, but he cannot conduct you thither.

For the vision of one man lends not its wings to another man.

And even as each one of you stands alone in God's knowledge, so must each one of you be alone in his knowledge of God and in his understanding of the earth.

(send in by Lady Lyla)

Believing hear, what you deserve to hear:
Your birthday as my own to me is dear...
But yours gives most; for mine did only lend
Me to the world; yours gave to me a friend.

MY BUTTERFLY

I said to the Lord, "Lord, let me be

Like the butterfly, so fine and so free.

Let my heart take wings and without a care,

Let me spread enjoyment everywhere!"

"My Child," said the Lord, "it's up to you.

Are you willing to trust me, like the butterflies do?"

"Yes, Lord, I trust you," was my glib reply,

How much could it cost...to be a butterfly?

"Fine," said the Lord, "let's get on with it then,

Because first you must die - and that's how we begin!"

My heart skipped a beat, and my stomach grew tight,

As I said to the Lord, "Did I hear you right?"

"My Child," said the Lord, "surely you know -

The worm has to die, so that beauty can grow.

It's not easy, that's true, but My way is best,

And I'll be beside you all through your test."

Then the Lord took His finger and touched my heart;

And began to probe each secret part.

Each place He touched was exposed to the light,

And I could see myself as only He might.

Unforgiveness, anger, selfishness, too.

All had to go, if I would be new.

"I'm sorry," I cried, "please help me to DIE.

I do so want to be your BUTTERFLY."

"I love you, Jesus," was all I could say,

"Come into my heart, And make it Yours today.

Whatever it takes, Lord, I'm ready now,

Your servant is waiting, just show me how."

"My Child," said the Lord, "You have already begun,

And we'll continue to work till the job is done.

Little by little, each day you will die,

But you will live again, as my

Butterfly.

Happy Anniversary I have attached some gifts made especially for you.

Huggers,
Lisa Marie

To A Butterfly

I've watched you now a full half-hour,
Self-poised upon that yellow flower;
And, little Butterfly! indeed
I know not if you sleep or feed.
How motionless! - not frozen seas
More motionless! and then
What joy awaits you, when the breeze
Hath found you out among the trees,
And calls you forth again!

This plot of orchard-ground is ours;
My trees they are, my Sister's flowers;
Here rest your wing when they are weary;
Here lodge as in a sanctuary!
Come often to us, fear no wrong;
Sit near us on the bough!
We'll talk of sunshine and of song,
And summer days, when we were young;
Sweet childish days, that were as long
As twenty days are now.

Stay near me--do not take thy flight!
A little longer stay in sight!
Much converse do I find in thee,
Historian of my infancy!
Float near me; do not yet depart!
Dead times revive in thee:
Thou bring'st, gay creature as thou art!
A solemn image to my heart,
My father's family!

Oh! pleasant, pleasant were the days,
The time, when, in our childish plays,
My sister Emmeline and I
Together chased the butterfly!
A very hunter did I rush
Upon the prey:--with leaps and springs
I followed on from brake to bush;
But she, God love her, feared to brush
The dust from off its wings.

William Wordsworth

Attached to this email are gifts made especially for you, please enjoy.

From Tina Kay:

And these wonderful gifts:

Because today's so special
it really wouldn't do,
to send one simple birthday wish
to last the whole year through...
So this wishes happy moments,
a day when dreams come true,
and a year that's filled with all the things
that mean the most to you.

Hope all that you do
Turns out happy for you
And all that you wish
Comes your way,
So each hour will bring
Every wonderful thing
You could ask of a wonderful day

*

May your birthday bring
You as much happiness
As you give to everyone
Who knows you

Happy Birthday

From Mary

If one has never lived in the country, never walked through a meadow, through a forest, or listened to all the animals, then one has never experienced the thrill of nature. The cheery songs of the birds singing while dawn is breaking, watched with wonder as the forest creatures scurry about looking for food, keeping track of their little ones, and the way the leaves of the trees dance in the breeze.

Listen, no road sounds to distract one's most precious thoughts, just imagine how peaceful it is. Our forefathers knew all about nature, how it would affect them on a daily basis. They watched the animals for signs of a change in the weather, the seasons. Listen, do you hear it? Can you hear the grass growing? Can you hear the new leaves erupting from the buds? Be careful, or you will miss the blossoms unfurling as they break free of their buds. Listen, watch, or you might miss it.

As with every thing, nature also has a dark side.....one must be vigilant about their surroundings. There are things living in nature that should be avoided or treated with a great deal of respect. As long as one considers the importance of respecting nature they should be safe. Be aware of the animals who reside in nature such as snakes, insects, spiders, lizards, bees, both honey bees and bumble bees which gather Nectar from the flowering plants to take to their hives. Then those with a sensitivity to poisonous plants will need to watch out for poison ivy, oak, and some certain other plants. Some varieties of Sumac can be poisonous. Then, there are the skunks who really dislike having their space invaded. You also might encounter Coyotes, Bobcats, depending on your location you might see Cougars, Bears, and other spirits of the forest. So enjoy yourself but remain alert so you can take in all the sights and sounds only found in nature.
I welcome nature lovers to share their experiences and love of nature.

Hi Regina

Thank you for the butterfly wishes in my guestbook recently.
