Free Vintage Clipart for Collage, Scrapbooking or Papercrafts: Spring Sunshine

Like a favorite song, old dreams keep on playing in my mind
They've waited for so long, for their time to finally arrive
I do believe now's the time,
I've gone years and years without really living
Minding squeaky wheels just giving and giving
And dreaming,
Like wildflowers growing through sidewalk cracks
The weight of the world makes 'em change their tracks
To find, the sun, and shine
Now, now, now's the time.
― Marie Helen Abramyan

Printable Vintage Art: Girls in a Landscape by Winslow Homer

Girls in a Landscape, 1873
by Winslow Homer (1836–1910)

I think if I've learned anything about friendship, it's to hang in, stay connected, fight for them, and let them fight for you. Don't walk away, don't be distracted, don't be too busy or tired, don't take them for granted. Friends are part of the glue that holds life and faith together. Powerful stuff.
― Jon Katz

Words are easy, like the wind; faithful friends are hard to find.
― William Shakespeare, The Passionate Pilgrim

So much of what is best in us is bound up in our love of family, that it remains the measure of our stability because it measures our sense of loyalty.
― Haniel Long

When we are children we seldom think of the future. This innocence leaves us free to enjoy ourselves as few adults can. The day we fret about the future is the day we leave our childhood behind.
