Clay Aiken Celebrate with Clay

A MOTHER'S LOVE

There are times when only a Mother's love can understand our tears,
Can soothe our disappointments and calm all of our fears.
There are times when only a Mother's faith can help us on life's way
And inspire in us the confidence we need from day to day.
For a Mother's heart and a Mother's faith and a Mother's steadfast love
Was fashioned by the Angels and sent from God above.

Mother's Day to me is to honour not only your Mother, but everyone in your life providing a mother-like love for a child. She may be your Grandmother, Aunt, step-mother or a neighbourhood lady. Most everyone has a special person to turn to in their lives.

When I Need You

PUZZLE TIME!

Thank you Bsrefong for this story and new puzzle!

Here's an abstract of The Story of Colors
written by Keiko Inada.

Color is another language. It sometimes expresses your feeling more eloquently than words. Let's listen to the messages in colors.
When I asked kindergarten children to draw their images of "happiness," they drew various large forms, all extremely creative and rhythmical. In contrast, adults' drawings show lack of imagination and creativity. It seems to me that adults are restricted by common sense and socially established concepts. To liberate adults' minds from such restrictions, there is a simple, but effective way.
That is to use the power of colors. Colors have psychological impact on people's minds. By using the effect of colors, you can change your mood, and even your lifestyle. If you think that you need more energy, use red. If you feel like radiating your energy, use bright yellow. If you feel fatigue, green is the best color to use. In this way, colors can change your mood. And if you are refreshed, the forms you draw also change, indicating that you have changed your lifestyles. Colors are very powerful and influential.

Here is a crossword on Colors and what they mean. Have fun!
