Easter

The Germans are to blame for the Easter bunny.  If you are even looking for someone to blame.  "Originally an 'Easter hare,' a buck-toothed bringer of chocolate to the kids that have behaved themselves was first mentioned in German literature in 1682." (story)    All in all, any tradition that ends or begins with chocolate, I decree as a keeper.  Enjoy!  Celebrate foremost, what Easter (click here lovies) really means to humanity.

Principle in the type:  "It is one of the great ironies of our age that we are blessed with so much and yet we can be so unhappy.  The wonders of prosperity and technology overwhelm us and  shower us with security, entertainment, instant gratification, and convenience.  And yet all around us we see so much unhappiness. . . . Happiness doesn't come as a result of luck or accident.  It most certainly doesn't come from having all our our wishes come true.  Happiness doesn't come from external circumstances.  It comes from the inside---regardless of what is happening around us. "     Dieter F. Uchtdorf

International Women's Day.  I'm grateful for all the opportunities women Do have in the States.  And I'm grateful for good mothers; the hand that rocks the cradle.  Truly.   And in Italy, March 8th includes cake.  Every International Day is better with cake, no?    

Principle in the type:  "Never have women had greater influence than in today’s world.  Never have the doors of opportunity opened wider for them.  This is an inviting, exciting, challenging and demanding period of time for women.  It is a time rich in rewards if we keep our balance, learn the true values of life, and wisely determine priorities.”   Bella Smith Spafford
