Here is an idea that you can combine with yours and you will become an

It is not that hard to made something unique that you will call it by your own

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Berlin Sans FB', sans-serif; font-size: large; line-height: 115%;">Spring is the most anticipated, exciting, and
blessed season of the year. The cold
weather, low temperatures, bracing wind, and even occasional snow and ice all
pass away. The deadness of the trees,
the barrenness of the gardens, and the colorless grass pass away, to be
replaced with refreshing showers, delightful temperatures, and bright sunshine
of March, April, and May. The summer’s
burning rays and burdensome heat have not yet arrived. Spring is a delightful
time.</span><br />

means we are more inclined to exercise and spend outdoor time and activities

leave Santa a glass of milk and a plate of cookies; in Britain and Australia,

Guinness or milk, along with Christmas pudding or mince pies.</span></div>

since Edward I granted the right in 1306, it has many fine old buildings with
picturesque alleys and craftsmen's yards. The reason for the splendour of many
of the buildings is Wirksworth's historical trade - it was the southern centre
of the Derbyshire lead industry and the Soke and Wapentake of Wirksworth, as it
was called, was one of the most productive mining areas.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For better or worse, the American workplace is full of
idioms. People don’t begin a project. They “get a project off the ground.”They
don’t call each other to discuss progress – they “touch base.” Later, if the
project is not going well, they don’t end it. They “pull the plug.” Here are
some idioms you're likely to encounter in the workplace.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><i><span style="line-height: 115%;">at a premium</span><br />
</i></b>at a high price; at a relatively high price<br />
<i>Example: When flat-screen televisions

numbers<br />
<i>Example: I don't need the exact numbers
right now. Just give me some back-of-the-envelope calculations.<br />
Note: This expression refers to the quick calculations one would do informally,
as on the back of an envelope.<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

</i></b>to make a difficult or painful decision; to take a difficult step<br />
<i>Example: When demand was down, U.S.
automakers had to bite the bullet and cut jobs.<br />
Origin: This idiom comes from the military. During the Civil War in the United
States, doctors sometimes ran out of whiskey for killing the pain. A bullet
would be put in the wounded soldier's mouth during surgery. He would "bite
the bullet" to distract him from the pain and keep him quiet so the doctor
could do his work in peace.</i></span></div>

with the prescription drug, Prozac. It was a real blockbuster.<br />
Origin: This term comes from the blockbuster bombs used during World War Two by
the British Royal Air Force. They were huge and created a large explosive
force. Blockbuster ideas similarly create a big impact - and hopefully don't
cause destruction like blockbuster bombs!</i></span></div>

younger wine's exposure to air often "relaxes" the drink, making it
smoother and better integrated in aroma, texture, and flavor. Older wines
generally "fade" (lose their character and flavor intensity) with
extended aeration.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We all
remember this delicious dessert which our grandmothers used to prepare from
time to time.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">Preparation is not as complicated as it sounds, and no, birds are not involved.
I'm telling these because, I remember when I was a child, I always teased my
grandmother asking her if there are any birds in milk. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
Actually its name comes from the egg whites foam floating on the vanilla milk
custard, giving the suggestion of white birds floating on a milk lake, or
floating islands.<br />
Birds Milk is a classic french recipe, very easy to make and is always a
favorite for the entire family. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

keep you from staying consistent with healthy habits like daily exercise. It is
always a good idea to seek help and support when you have a tough challenge such

escape the grind of daily life. It has both mental and physical benefits,
including reducing stress, lowering blood pressure, and getting you more in
tune with your body. It can even boost your immune system! Here are some ways
to achieve stillness.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

getting more and more challenging each day. But stillness helps to calm and
tame the weary mind. Nature is one of the places that immediately brings us in
tune with harmony and a deeper sense of place, peace and purpose. By tuning
into an image or sounds, even if we can’t immediately access natural places,
the mind can take us back to the silence and peace instantly.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

sunrise? It’s very often still like a mirror. Before jumping out of bed,
imagine sitting by a lake. No ripples or waves appear. The dawn sky is
perfectly reflected in the stillness. This is the nature of the mind at rest.
Still, pure and capable of reflecting the light and beauty around it. The
easiest time to access this pure stillness is in the early hours of the day
before the rush.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

active at dawn. They awaken with energy and celebrate the divine. They express
their joy and excitement at the birth of a new day by singing and chirping for
no reason except that they are content to be alive. Their nature is to be
happy. Imagine the cardinals, robins, sparrows and other birds you love. Tune
into their love of life as they awaken at dawn and allow their nature to
inspire you to start the day with the same joy.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

because of their spectacular displays. They give a moment to pause and watch
the world turn from light to dark. It’s a moment to notice the movement of the
day, to check in, to become quiet and slow down during the period of
transition. It’s especially a time to notice the beauty and harmony of the
natural world. In many places where people gather to watch the sunset together,
a natural stillness and silence set in as the sun moves into the sea or below
the horizon. This quiet space offers a time to reflect on the goodness of the
day and be fully in the beauty of the moment.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

be seen by the human eye at night. They take us out of our small worlds and
remind us that we’re a tiny fraction of something big, cosmic and Divine. The
way they pass through the sky with order and grace gives confidence that
something purposeful and very wise is guiding the movements of each individual
thing in the universe. Contemplate a star and its origin. The mystery and magic
of it are awe-inspiring. Your life, your coming into being is no less of a
miracle to recognize and celebrate.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
