TIP

FOR

TUESDAY

I came across this poem the other day and know how much my stepdaugher Krysta loves Audrey Hepburn . Apparently this was one of Audrey's favorite poems and it was the last poem that she read to her grandkids before she died...
"Beauty Tips for Women"
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.
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed. Never throw out anybody.
Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you’ll find one at the end of your arm.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.
It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!
For those who went to the Elton John Concert last night , I am jealous but on the other hand I am glad that you got to enjoy the show..One more thing done off of your bucket list.
Enjoy
Cheers
Granny
