The Pink Heart tag
Wednesday, January 28, 2009





I have recived the Pink Heart tag from Shasha at Ako...I..Io. The tag comes together with a few interesting philosophic phrases and also a request to share the tag with people who has touched my life in a positive way.


"The 10 commandments is not a multiple choice."



"The mind is like a parachute; it only functions when it's open."



"One thing you can give and still keep is your WORD."



"You lie the loudest when you lie to yourself."



"When you lack the courage to start, then you're already finished."



"One thing you can't recycle is TIME."



"The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts."



"The heaviest thing you can carry is GRUDGE."



"Be kinder than just necessary, because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of a battle."



"A sharp tongue can cut your own throat."



"If you want to make your dreams come true, do not oversleep."



"Of all the things you wear, your expression is the most important."



"The best vitamin for making friends is B1 (for be one yourself)."



"The pursuit of happiness is a chase of a lifetime. It is never late to become what you might have been."



"Life is too short to wake up with regrets.So love the people who treat you right...Forget the one's who don't. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it."



"Friends are like balloons, once you let them go you might not get them back. Sometimes we get so busy with our lives and problems that we may not even notice that we've let them fly away. Sometimes we are caught up with who's right or who's wrong. Sometimes we just don't realize what friendship means until it's too late. I don't want to let that happen so I'm gonna tie you to my heart so I never lose you."

This Makes My Day said...

Hi Désirée,

You touched my heart very deep with this wonderful surprise and the significance of it! A big hug for you my friend! You also inspire and touch me with your wonderful blog and works! I like a lot this quote: "The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts." and this quote I like to dedicate to you because of the amazing quality of your thoughts, creativity and ideas. Friendship indeed is a treasure that one has to care about a lot, thanks for making my day and for making it complete my friend!

Appreciate you thinking of me!

Hi, Desiree,

Such a lovely gesture - and such a wonderful entry. I really enjoyed the graphics you chose to illustrate each thought - some are quite unusual and worth keeping in their own right.

It's going to be especially fun to choose some to pass it on to. Since we're so close to Valentine's Day, I think I'll wait until just a few days before - it's the perfect occasion!

Thank you so very much - my own heart is warmed by your gesture!

Linda

Desiree, this is beautiful. The quotes, totally had me. You have put very inspiring quotes. I especially love this:
"If you want to make your dreams come true, do no oversleep."
and:
"When you lack the courage to start, then you're already finished."

Sadly, I needed these quotes to remind myself to work more for what I want. Thank you.

Désirée said...

Linda: What a lovely idea to wait until Valentine's day.

Shasha: Thank you very much. I find almost all my images on Wikimedia Commons. There it is easy to see what is public domain and what is copyrighted.

Beybes_08: The quotes are not mine. Sorry. They came along with the pink-heart-tag. All I had to do was to illustrate them.

Hi, Desiree,

It was fun to see your article in Babalu - great job!

I ended up posting the Pink Heart Tag on my Weather Underground blog. No, not the radical political WU, but the real "weather weatherunderground". The link to the blog is here: http://www.wunderground.com/blog/shoreacres/comment.html?entrynum=66

It just seemed like a perfect way to recognize a group of people who don't usually get much attention. I was really glad to have the opportunity to do it.

Shoreacres: You do what you feel is best, otherwise these tags become like nasty chain-mails, and that is not the point. Nice blog post.
