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)

    have fun with your cutest 'fellow'! :)

  23. This 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."

  25. 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.
