Although, after I rested and sat for a while under the floor of Thai home, I felt fresh, warm and relax because of the greenish atmosphere from many plants that are in the garden.

.... of them clung to the iron bars, waiting for someone to hand them a banana or some peanuts. We left the monkeys’ cage and went to see the elephants. They were wandering loose in an open area, which was surrounded by large deep trenches. Bordering the trenches was a heavy iron fence. The elephants had rough and mildewed-looking skin. Their long and flexible trunks were moving constantly begging someone to give them food. A boy responded and threw some pieces of sugar cane. One elephant used its trunk to catch the sugar cane and lifted up to its mouth. Then the elephant hastily chewed it.

Personal Writing: My Vacation At Beech Mountain, North Carolina
.... of nature’s critters at work: rabbits digging, squirrels playing, and birds chirping. I also enjoy the wonderful views nature has to give. It is absolutely breathtaking: the colors of the flowers in the springtime. Bright yellows, warm reds, soft blues and hushed purples paint the mountainside a beautiful rainbow.

A very special place in my mind, as well as in my heart, is reserved for one memory from a North Carolina vacation. In the summer of 1997, I awoke ea .....

They would make us feel as if we were actually pocketing this money and going to luch with it. It was so humiliating at times the ruckus they would make, because it would make the other patients that were in the waiting area stare to see what all the noise was all about. The last two years I was a medical receptionist, I found myself getting more angry and dissatisfied that I could no longer control my temper at times .....

One thing that I notice both times whe .....
