If I was one thing, I'd be a candle
Lighting the way so you can handle
Your life easier without woes
Not having to fight with your foes.
I'd help keep you from stumbling over
Things blocking your path to an open door.
If I light your path, life is easier,
Even strong winds, my light will not deter.
No matter what, I'm here for you
To cheer you up when you are blue.
Do not fret when times get tough,
If things look down or kind of rough.
Just remember, I'm always here,
In your heart, close and near.
I will help you out in every way,
Happiness and love in your heart will stay.
Don't blow me out, that's one request
Unless it's me you do detest.
I do not try to hurt anyone
That isn't good or any fun.
But one day you may leave me behind
You may no longer need my light to shine.
If that day comes, go on your way
And I will hope to see you again one day.
If one day, I don't appear,
Do not worry, do not fear
I may be gone, but in your heart
The light I gave you did not depart.
It will be there forever and a day
To always bring happiness and light your way.
Farewell for now, I'm needed elsewhere
If your path grows dark, in your heart, I'm there.
So I'm really not gone, just not seen,
I would not leave, I'm not that mean.
Only one simple request that I must say,
Please, never forget those who lit your way.

GOOD MORNING !
It is WEDNESDAY and we made it over the HUMP once more. Halfway through this work week once again.
February certainly has brought us a variety of weather so far. Last week we were having rain storms and flooding, this week below freezing temps and snow and ice . The only people that were happy were the kids that got off school one day because it was so cold.
March usually brings us lots of wind and we certainly have had that too ! It keeps us all on our toes for sure. I’m not much of a ‘white knuckle ‘ driver. Last evening the roads were very icy coming home and my grip on the steering wheel was so tight I had to remind myself to loosen up.
Everyone was going slow so there weren’t any problems, thank the good Lord. Today should be a little calmer and by evening they say we could see the sun peep through briefly. We’ll see…
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
A candle's but a simple thing
It starts with just a bit of string
Yet dipped and dipped with patient hand
it gathers wax right up the strand
Until, complete with snowy white
it gives at last a lovely light
Life is so like that bit of string
each deed we do, a simple thing
Yet day by day if on life's strand
we work with patient heart and hand
It gathers joy, makes dark days bright
and gives at last a lovely light

Isn't it "better to light one little candle than to curse the darkness"? You are lighting that candle with your uplifting entries. They always lift my spirits.

This winter has sure taken a toll on all of us. I just can't remember such a long cold, snowy, rainy winter before this one. Is it me or is it really a BAD winter? Hmmmm....I see light at the end of the tunnel....yep, it's warm sunshine. :)
