Put it before them briefly so they will read it,
clearly so they will appreciate it,
picturesquely so they will remember it and,
above all, accurately so they will be guided by its light.
Joseph Pulitzer
GOOD MORNING !
As I was looking for some little trinket of wisdom for my journal today, I came across the quote above and now here it is for you all to read too.
Isn’t that what we all try to do in our journals? We enter brief little stories of our days and try to make it clear to all just what is going on in our lives. We display all kinds of pictures of our families, our trips, our homes, our pets and also some beautiful graphics. And I for one hope to bring a little sunshine in to my readers lives each day.
Maybe we are not prize winners of the famous ‘Pulitzer’ but each and every journal I read so dear to me. Often when I get home from work I pull up my email and there will be the journal entry alerts in my mail box. I’m thankful for them and being able to keep in touch with so many.
Thankful Thursday is today so here’s my list for the week.
I’m thankful that a few of the draught areas are finally getting a little rain
I’m thankful that the winds are dying down a bit in California and that they are getting the much needed help
I’m thankful that we live in a caring world and have people like the Red Cross volunteers that come in and help those in need.
As always, I’m thankful for my family and friends that send a little sunshine my way.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Seeds of discouragement will not grow in the thankful heart.

There are several journals I love to read. I don't even have a journal, but I love reading about those of you who do. I would like to thank you for taking the time to write them....I enjoy them so much. When I get home from work the first thing I do is check my e-mail alerts.
Thanks again
