This is Florence, my jam jar.
She is full of inspiration and
on rainy days when things are looking bleak
or I feel a bit down, or I need motivation
or just when I feel like it
I delve in and pick out one of the tickets
Upon which are written things like;

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

*

Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Others stay awhile, make footprints on our hearts and we are never, ever the same.

*

Hope is the most exciting thing in life and if you honestly believe that love is out there, it will come. And even if it doesn’t come straight away there is still that chance all through your life that it will.

*

Two lives, two hearts joined together in friendship united forever in love.

*

Hope is the dream of a soul awake.

*

Never shall I forget the times I spent with you; continue to be my friend, as you will always find me yours.

*

Hope is faith holding out its hand in the dark.

*

Do not use a hatchet to remove a fly from your friend’s forehead.

*

Hope is the feeling that the feeling you have isn’t permanent.

*

To the query, ”What is a friend?” his reply was ”A single soul dwelling in two bodies.”

*

Hope is knowing that people, like kites, are made to be lifted up

*

Friends will keep you sane, Love could fill your heart, A lover can warm your bed, But lonely is the soul without a mate.

*

So on rainy days when things are looking bleak
or you feel a bit down, or you need motivation
or just when you feel like it
delve in and pick out one of the tickets
