I love life. I don't know how I got here. I am sure glad I made it. There are so many people to meet and so little time. I try to make every moment count.

michael Arrigo I agree with you to a point. Sometimes you can lose to much and have to stop. Even if you are determined things don't always go as planned. Sometimes the right ideas but the wrong timing. So then all you can do is keep trying.

Eyes never lie

Erly Maglangit @cacay1 (84476) • Cagayan De Oro, Philippines 16 Feb 24

Our eyes can speak the language of love, hatred, sympathy, sorrow, and all kinds of moods especially love. When we speak of love, one can see through the person’s eyes how he or she penetrates her looks at you. Sometimes, you can...

Be kind to others and destiny will reward you

Whether we like it or not, there is good karma if you show kindness to people. Only a few people have a kind heart mostly strict and indifferent and for what reason, we have no right to question. Ours will be to do we think right...

michael Arrigo I am not a big sports fan but I watched the football game. It was an exciting game. I didn't think the commercials were worth the millions they pay to put them on the air during the game. Then again I did have to pay for them. Have a good night.

michael Arrigo I love cherries. I can't wait to see how they grow. Thank you for sharing every step along the way. I plant tomato plants every year sometimes they grow sometimes they don't do well. At least with cherry trees you will have cherries year after year.
