Hi, cule -- a typo, "happiness" - pesta, Dec 26, 2010
I'm not sure what you are trying to say here. It sounds like you're saying that children aren't worth it, but that certainly doesn't match the beautiful picture. - Echoline, Dec 26, 2010

Nunca pienses sobre cosas que no tienes. Muestra siempre agradecimiento por las cosas que tienes.

Never think about the things that you don't have. Always be thankful for the things that you have.

creas or better "pienses"- subjuntive because this is a negative command- and "Muestra siempre agradecimiento por las cosas que tienes" :) Hi, chruhlman! - cogumela, Dec 26, 2010

I had to change this a bit, we don't say "dar agradecimiento", but "mostrar agradecimiento" or "ser agradecido" Cuesta poco mostrar agradecimiento, pero recibirlo no tiene precio. Very good sentence, Joe! And so true! - cogumela, Dec 26, 2010
Typo? ".. is sin precio" - pesta, Dec 26, 2010

So in Spanish if "the lips" or "the mouth" says something, it is necessary to use some kind of action verb? Thanks coqumela! - bandit51jd, Dec 26, 2010
