Speak gently.
It is better by far to rule by love than fear.
Speak gently. Let no harsh word mar the good you may do here.
Speak gently to the young, for they will have enough to bear;
pass through this life as best they may, 'tis full of anxious care.
Speak gently to the aged one Grieve not the care-worn heart,
whose sand of life are nearly run, let such in peace depart.
Speak gently, kindly to the poor, let no harsh tone be heard.
They have enough they must endure without an unkind word.
Speak gently... 'tis a little thing dropped in the heart's deep
well; The good, the joy that it may bring eternity shall tell.

GOOD MORNING !
It is R & R day once more. Another Sunday to renew and refresh my self for the coming week. I was so tired out from last week that I really didn’t do anything but rest yesterday.
Today then, I’m hoping to be refreshed. I cannot start another work week with out it. So I am off to church as always and will be praying for all of you . I know that we all need them for sure.
I do hope that you all find some special ways to renew and refresh your selves today also. I suppose that a lot of people will be watching the SUPER BOWL today, but I’m not a sports fan so I’ll be thinking up some other way to spend the afternoon. Weekends go by so fast, I really never have to wonder what to do.
TODAY’S THOUGHT
Whatever we are willing for--peace of mind, contentment,
grace, the inner awareness of simple abundance--
it will surely come to us, but only when we are ready to receive it
with an open and grateful heart.

May your day be blessed with a few SMILES

My hubby is planning to watch the Super Bowl, but I won't be watching either. I'm not a sports fan. Have a great day.
