2 - Thank you, POBSB!

This birthday card makes me smile. Petra made it and send it.
Would you like to know more about Petra? Click here! Her artist's name is POBSB.

PS: It was not for my birthday but for my husband's and it wasn't recently.
Because we like the card, we keep it in sight.


It costs nothing, but creates much
It enriches those who receive,
Without impoverishing those who give.
It happens in a flash and the memory of it lasts forever.
None are so rich they can get along without it
And none so poor but are richer for its benefits.
It creates happiness in the home,
Fosters good will in a business,
And is the countersign of friends.
It is rest to the weary, daylight to the discouraged,
Sunshine to the sad, and nature's best antidote for trouble.
Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen,
For it is something that is no earthly good to anybody
Till it is given away.
If someone is too tired to give you a smile,
Leave one of yours.
For, nobody needs a smile so much
As those who have none to give.

I have some cards that I keep all the time, not for the sentiment, but for the photo art. I love this work! Excellent.
