Friday Frills


When a new day begins, dare to smile gratefully.
 
When there is darkness, dare to be the first to shine a light.
 

When there is injustice, dare to be the first to condemn it.
 
When something seems difficult, dare to do it anyway.
 

When life seems to beat you down, dare to fight back.
 
When there seems to be no hope, dare to find some.
 

When you’re feeling tired, dare to keep going.
 
When times are tough, dare to be tougher.
 

When love hurts you, dare to love again.
 
When someone is hurting, dare to help them heal.
 

When another is lost, dare to help them find the way.
 
When a friend falls, dare to be the first to extend a hand.
 

When you cross paths with another, dare to make them smile.
 
When you feel great, dare to help someone else feel great too.
 

When the day has ended, dare to feel as you’ve done your best.
 
Dare to be the best you can –
 At all times, Dare to Be!

"When you cross paths with another, dare to make them smile.
 "--I do this aaaall the time! If I make eye contact with someone, I've just gotta smile a little bit and do a little nod. I get ever so slightly happy when I get a tiny response!

Morning Sam! And I will add also "dare to do and to keep on"! We all have often many down moments, in my experience I've learnt that life is a keeping up and down, what distinguished one and makes the other better is always to remember "to dare", beat our weakness and having new challenges to win. Appreciate every single moments, enjoy life, help someone in difficulties, have no fears, forget the past and just accept what life is giving you at the present are the best ways to dare ourselves every day and build a strong personality, to just face happy and sad moments at the best:) Hope your day is kicked off greatly my dear! Send you a big hugs, happy Friday! xo

What beautifully inspiring words and the image is stunning too!

Rena & I thank for your very kind comment on our hair! I bet that style must've looked really lovely on you when it was your signature look. I appreciate the suggestions on frizz fighting. I've been intrigued by bionic hair straightening and should look into it more.

Have a wonderful weekend dear Sam!

Always fantastic! I always love the words you choose. "When a friend falls, dare to be the one to extend a hand" and dare to do your best! I had a day like that today, and after reading these words, I can say I will sleep knowing I really tried my best to make everybody content - at least for today! Have a beautiful weekend, dear Sam!

Dressed With Soul said...

I like your Friday frills so much, dearest Sam! And yes, to be dare, is always a good decision - the picture which you have chosen to your words fits perfect <3

German is my first language, thanks for asking, and to be honest, my English is really improvable – my blog is one of my methods to practice ;) How many languages are you speaking? And which language is your first language?

Wish you a wonderful and relaxing weekend, hope it´s not to cold in SA ...

Big hugs from Bavaria, Rena

Oh, that gown! It's gowns like that that make me wish I was rich and famous so I could wear designer dresses on the red carpet. **sigh** She walked right out of a fairy tale. Beautiful poem too.

May the Force be with you.
