    “Todo homem é culpado do que não fez.”
    (Voltaire)

    Não se culpe pelos erros cometidos,
    onde puder, retorne e conserte,
    onde não for possível o reparo,
    peça perdão.

    O problema não está no erro da tentativa,
    o problema está na acomodação do não
    tentar, na reclamação fácil do
    “eu não consigo”,
    no abandono do “isso não é para mim”,
    no desistir por desistir.

    Hoje, quando o dia abre uma porta
    do mesmo tamanho, quando o sol banha
    cada canto por igual, as oportunidades
    esperam pelos mais dispostos,
    pelos que esperam uma chance enquanto
    trabalham. Pelos que sabem que só se
    pode agarrar alguma coisa,
    quem está de braços descruzados.

    Por isso,
    nada de reclamar disso ou daquilo,
    nada de chorar pelos que se foram,
    “deixai aos mortos que cuidem
    dos mortos”,
    disse sabiamente o mestre Jesus.

    Você está vivo e precisa se cuidar.

    Até para cuidar de quem amamos,
    precisamos estar bem.

    Não se engane,
    o mundo continua colorido,
    só depende dos olhos de quem o vê.
     
    PAZ E LUZ PARA TODOS VOCÊS!!!
       
          -:¦:- E -:¦:-
     
    Um Dia Abençoado para todos!!

    somebodyshort…

    Glad you saw it…Ill post it every few days (the links) so whoever comes in and doesnt know about it can read it.

    I know it is bittersweet ,but that is why I like it so much. She loved her husband a lot and she had a wonderful family. She never intended what a lot of people comment in here most of the time and that is why it bothers me so much each time I hear the reference to the images as “the naked kids”or in a derogatory manner. It is a little disrespectful to say so and you notice this when you read the story and see that nothing like what some implied was meant with these panels. It was just a show of her love for her husband and family.

    Thanks for taking the time to read it and learn about it :) :)

    Hi Honey, I prefer not to join online groups, I guess it’s old age security. I save most of the panels in a word document and use them as needed in notes to my favourite other. She’s blind to what she’s got, but that’s a long story. :) xoxo

    Hi Honey, just took the little panel from Bill’s site where they’re sitting on a log and he’s handing her a rose and turned it into a little card with a note and signed with a happy face. Look terrific. Thanks again for the link

    Cupid – Roman Mythology
    We all see Cupid as the cute winged little boy that carries a bow and arrow in which he uses to pierce the hearts of couples and cause them to fall in love. In our society the Cupid is a mischievous little angel type boy that uses his bow and arrows which signify desires and emotions of love.

    However, Cupid was a Roman god that not only could make humans fall in love but also gods. Cupid’s mother was the goddess Venus and father the god Mars.

    One very important myth concerning Cupid is the only of Psyche. Psyche was a beautiful mortal, the daughter of a king. Psyche was the most beautiful woman on earth and Venus was quite jealous of the attention that this mere mortal held. Venus told her son, Cupid, to punish Psyche by having her fall in love with an ugly beast. Cupid went to perform her wishes; however, he fell in love with Psyche at first sight and could not abide his mother’s wishes. Instead, he devised a way to fool Psyche and told her that she was to marry but that she could never look upon her husbands face. Cupid took her away to a beautiful place where she would live with her husband. Cupid came to her at night and said he was her husband; she did not look at him and did not know he was Cupid or that he was a god.

    Even though Psyche had everything imaginable to keep her happy she missed her sisters and asked her husband to allow her to see them. While her sisters were visiting her they talked her into looking at her husband. After they left she looked at Cupid when he came to visit. Cupid then had to punish her and he did this by leaving. Psyche searched everywhere for her true love. She called upon the gods and none would help as they did not want to see the rage that would come upon them from Venus. Finally, Psyche went to the temple of Venus. Venus was more upset than anyone could imagine that her son had tricked her and he had been with Psyche. She turned her into a slave and had her perform tasks that were impossible. The last task was one to take a box to Proserpine the goddess of the underworld and fill the box with beauty from Proserpine. In order to this difficult task Psyche had to avoid all the dangers of the realm of the dead.

    During this time, Cupid went to the aid of the other gods to help his true love Psyche. The love that Psyche showed for Cupid convinced all the gods to allow her and Cupid to marry, Psyche was granted immortality and became a minor goddess in Olympus. Venus did grow to love her daughter in law. Cupid and Psyche gave birth to one daughter, Volupta, the goddess of sensual pleasure.

    I’m a mythology nerd, but though I’ve heard of that myth, I’m not as familiar with it as I am with others. Thanks for refreshing my memory about it.

    Cupidity means avarice or greed. I get the cupid reference, but cupidity is it’s own word which does not inspire thoughts of love, but rather of stalking.
