For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.
People, even more than things, have to be restored, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.
Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others.
And finally, if you share this with others, something good will happen....You will boost another's self-esteem, and they will know that you care about them.
I wish each and every one of you all the best for the holiday season and a happy, healthy and prosperous new year filled with love, joy and peace!!
Cheers!
