These are stories and pictures from
my Mystery Sis.


Once upon a time, a King had a great highway built
for the people who lived in his kingdom. After it
was completed, but before it was opened to the public,
the King decided to have a contest. He invited as many
of his subjects as desired to participate. The challenge
was to see who could travel the highway the best, and
the winner was to receive a box of gold.


On the day of the contest, all the people came. Some of them
had fine chariots, some had fine clothing and fancy food
to make the trip a luxurious journey. Some wore their sturdiest
shoes and ran along the highway on their feet to show off their
skill. All day they traveled the highway and, as each one
arrived at the end, complained to the King about a large pile of
rocks and debris that had been left almost blocking the road
at one point and had hindered their travel.


At the end of the day, a lone traveler crossed the finish line
warily and walked over to the King. He was tired and dirty but
he addressed the King with great respect and handed him a small
chest of gold. He said, "I stopped along the way to clear a pile
of rocks and debris that was blocking the road. This chest of
gold was under it all. Please have it returned to
it's rightful owner."


The King replied, "You are the rightful owner." The traveler said,
"Oh no, this is not mine. I've never known such money."


"Oh yes," said the King, "You've earned this gold, for you won my
contest. He who travels the road best is he who makes the road
better for those who will follow."




Remember those words of wisdom as you travel the road of life!

*** CARRY A LITTLE HONEY ***


Carry a little honey as you go along life's way,
Bring a touch of sunshine into someone's life today.
There's good you can do for someone - if you will stay alert,
Someone who may be discouraged, despondent or hurt.


It doesn't take a millionaire to bring somebody cheer,
Sometimes a friendly smile can take away a tear.
Show someone you love them, pat them on the back,
You'll find that it is easy - once you get the knack.


Tell your friends you love them, let your appreciation show.
Your kind words may lift them more than you can ever know.
Let your family know they're special to you each and every day,
Show them kindness and affection in all you do or say.


Take time to thank others for the good things they do,
It will uplift them and also it will lift you.
It won't take much time and it won't cost much money,
Your life will be better if you carry a little honey.

I BELIEVE IN MIRACLES


I believe in miracles
And dreams that will come true.
I believe in tender moments
And friendship, through and through.
I believe in rainbows
And moon-beams all aglow.
I believe there's magic
And more there than we know.
I believe in reaching out
And touching from the heart.
I believe that if we touch
A gift we can impart.
I believe the gifts you have
Are there for you to share.
And when you give them from the heart,
The whole world knows you care.
I believe that if you give,
Even just to one,
That gift will grow in magnitude
Before the day is done.
I believe that love is still
The greatest gift of all.
And when it's given from the heart,
The gift is never small.

I hope your day is full of 'Believing'






Spirit Of The Plains


His spirit roams the plains
In search of what had been
But I know he'll never find it
It shall never be again.


The buffalo are gone now
And the sacred grounds are bare
The eagle cries a lonely cry
As he circles through the air.


He'll search the plains forever
He's looking for his past
But all that's left are memories
For nothing ever lasts.

FRIENDS FOREVER


My friends are so very dear to me,
Through the good and bad
they’ve been there,
Laughter or tears
we’ve been through it all,
But no matter what,
they stood by me,
Sharing in my joy,
or lending a shoulder to cry on.


Building memories
that will last a life time.
The fun times and laughter
that we have shared,
Are happy memories,
that will always be there.
When I was sad,
they have always cheered me up.


My friends are true friends,
not just passing by,
But will be there,
through out the years.
I can’t think of more perfect friends,
To share my goals
and dreams with.


Because my Forever Friends
Are the only ones I will ever need,
I don’t know if they can tell,
Just how much they mean to me.


How important their friendship is,
And how much I care,
For they are what
true friendship is about.
They’re there when I need them,
And I love them all.
