CONSIDER THESE WORDS
Mark Twain said, "The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug."
When English poet Keats was writing a poem he asked his friend Leigh Hunt what he thought of the line, "A beautiful thing is an unending joy."
"Good, but not quite perfect," said Hunt.
"How about this?' said Keats,
"A thing of beauty is an unending joy."
Finally Keats put it this way,
"A thing of beauty is a joy forever."
"That," said his friend,
"will live as long as the English language is spoken."
GOOD MORNING !
I’m all refreshed and renewed for another work week and am sipping that good coffee to start the day. I had a good visit with the ‘babes’ on Saturday, spent my hour in church for my weekly dose of R & R and was quite lazy on Sunday as I slept in til 8:00 in the morning which is a rarity for me for sure.
The week ahead looks pretty quiet except for my Dulcimer night on Tuesday evening. We were supposed to do this last week, but one of my buddies was ill. So we’ll have our evening of laughter and fun this week instead.
Come the weekend I’ll be traveling to celebrate our Sweetheart’s fifth birthday, so every thing must be done here at home before I go. Good thing that it’ll be a quiet week. I do have a vacation day on Friday and that will help a lot.
Two questions were asked in my comments over the weekend.
1. I live in northern Ohio. 2. I do have 7 children - 6 boys and 1 girl and 4 of my children have children of their own so I have 11 grandchildren.
I know that some of my readers are new to my journal and probably didn't know all that. Now, I'm a widow and live by myself with 2 old lady cats, a couch potato beagle and 1 dirty old bird that is as old as my youngest son.
Guess that should update everyone.
It's Monday and I'm off to work once more...
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Consider these words from the wisest man who ever lived:
Do not be quick with your mouth, do not be hasty in your heart to utter anything before God. God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few
Ecclesiastes 5:2
Consider this prayer:
Father in Heaven, speak and I will listen.
Consider His words
From Daily Heartlight
May your day be blessed with a few SMILES and lots of SUNSHINE to warm your heart !

Thanks for clarifying. I didn't realize you were in Ohio. And I thought you had 6 kids not 7. The only ones I recognize and know who they are, are the "Newlyweds." The others I always have to see your captions to know which ones they are.
What a great family you have!!
Pam
