A Recipe for True Beauty

A Recipe for True Beauty
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 or her fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone.

In the end, a person is only known by the impact he or she has on others.

I am a romantic at heart. . .

About Me

My photo
Vicki
I am a retired schoolteacher after 33 years. I am looking forward to retired life although I will probably still tutor some at my school. I have seven beautiful grandchildren that I enjoy spending time with. My family and my faith are the most important things in my life. I am so glad you decided to stop and spend a little time with me here at Bunny Cottage. It is my heart's desire that I can be an encouragement to someone along life's way.
