CHAPTER 1, PAGE 29

A Star is Born

Gonna shout it from the mountaintops

A star is born

It's a time for pulling out the stops

A star is born

Honey, hit us with a hallelu

The kid came shining through

Girl, sing the song

Come blow your horn

A star is born

He's a hero who can please the crowd

A star is born

Come on ev'rybody shout out loud

A star is born

Just remember in the darkest hour

Within your heart's the power

For making you

A hero too

So don't lose hope when you're forlorn

Just keep your eyes upon the skies

Ev'ry night a star is

Right in sight a star is

Burning bright

a star is born

Lyrics by Ira Gershwin

GOOD MORNING !

Today a STAR was born.

Our ‘Star’ is seven years old today. He is the big brother of our Angel and our Pumpkin. He is my 3rd grandbabe and also one of 3 that were born in the year of 2000.

That was quite an eventful New Year for all of us. I remember all the talk of what would happen as  we started a new millennium..

The Year 2000 problem (Y2K, the millennium bug, and the Y2K Bug) was the result of a practice in early computer program design that caused some date-related processing to operate incorrectly for dates and times on and after January 1, 2000. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Everyone was relieved when we woke up January 1st and everything was still working. Life went on as usual.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

The moment when you first wake up in the morning is the most wonderful of the twenty-four hours.

No matter how weary or dreary you may feel, you possess the certainty that, during the day that lies before you, absolutely anything may happen.

And the fact that it practically always doesn't, matters not a jot. The possibility is always there.

Monica Baldwin

May your day be blessed with a few SMILES and lots of SUNSHINE to warm your heart !

MA
