In gratitude
“At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.”
— Albert Schweitzer
This post is for all those people in my life who have lit my flame. (You know who you are)
I do feel blessed to know you and wish for you the brightest of things life has to offer. I also thank you for being in my life. (Touchwood)

ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of a quotation by Buddha, "Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared."
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!!

Great photo and nice comments. Did you know that a candle doesn't lose it's flame from lighting another candle, either? I saw that saying one time, and loved it. Sorry, but I don't remember who quoted it.
ReplyDeleteIf you can, check out my Wordless Wednesday:
