Kind words-January 09, 2004


Kind words they are always priceless,
from one who is sincere,
Kind to appreciates the feelings,
of friends they hold so dear.

Kind words they can be healing,
if one feels low or down,
Kind words can ease a troubled brow,
and smooth away that frown.

Kind words can ignite a spark of hope,
which from there it may inspire.
Kind words can raise, from ashes of doubt.
a small comforting glowing fire.

Kind words are something we all need.
as the path of life unfolds.
Kind words that sleep within our hearts,
are the goodess in our souls.

Richard
 

   
Common sense is the knack of seeing things as they are, and doing things as they ought to be done. Harriet Beecher Stowe

IN DEFENCE OF SILENCE

Silence as a language
is not well known...
yet those who embrace it
and call it their own..
defend it (as I will)
from those who speak much
not knowing that silence
is tender to touch...

and silence speaks deeply
it's voice quite true..
when one listens closely
to the message in you..

So silence within me
and voices without..
I'll receive them both..
they are precious, no doubt..

The inward my Counselor
the outward my friends..
or the voices of grandchildren
and songs in the wind..

Yet Silence still speaks
what no one else can..
of seasons, and changes
and times I should stand..
of forgiveness
and forgetting
holding on,
or letting go..
why is silence a language
that few want to know?

The language of silence,
it becomes very clear...
you simply must listen, and listen,
until you can hear...

   
Buona Sera
(Fred Buscaglione)

Buona Sera - Signorina - Buona Sera
It is time to say goodnight to Napoli
Though it's hard for us to whisper Buona Sera
With that old moon above, the Mediterranean sea

In the morning, Signorina, we'll go walking
Where the mountains and the sand came into sight
By the little jeweller's shop we'll stop and linger
While I buy a wedding ring for your finger
In the meantime, let me tell you that I love you
Buona Sera, Signorina, kiss me goodnight!
Buona Sera, Signorina, kiss me goodnight!

Good morning..
We are back to -6°  and it is hazy looking out. Snow on the way?
Tidy up and sewing is about it today..

Bubble ,thank you for the new start page. I am going to have to find that song and listen to it.

Better get a wiggle on , slept in this morning
 
Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good Morning Everyfriend!  Nice, clean, redecorated Soda Shoppe.  Thank you Bubble for all the work you do for us.

I was up early today.  Cooper is here and had his breakfast.  It's 9º here today and I'm not going walking until it warms up at least 6 degrees!  That'll be around 10 o'clock!  I hope Cooper can hold it that long!

I have the stuff laid out to make shortbread cookies today and I've already started cleaning off my desk.  I also picked out some new water glasses to order but I haven't made a final decision on them.  I'll have to decide that before my desk is cleaned off because the picture is lying on the desk.

CALLIE and SHIRLEY, I asked my daughter in Jenks, OK if she felt an earthquake and she said she didn't but she was out running around and could have missed it. 

I wish you all a good day... better than yesterday but not ans good as tomorrow.  And I wish us all SPRING!!!

Good early morning from the Interior! I'm up early from a restless night, and at 4:23 AM, it is minus thirty-three. Our high will be minus thirteen, and then we're back on a warming trend.

I have no idea what this day will bring other than watering plants, a load of towels, and bedding for laundry and taking out the trash.

I hope your day and mine stay healthy, sane, and happy!

50° here so I fed cats & suggested they go out for a while. Tiger didn't want out and Callie only went out because I did, to unlock the pool gate so she doesn't have to climb the fence to inspect her territory. Instead she is sitting on the step to come back in. The temps will go down all day and all news media is talking about is the storm/ rain/ ice mix & snow. 5-7" here plus with the blowing & drifting, for sure can be a mess. My job this morning is to take the wagon & whatever I can pile on it in the garage around to a storage on other side of the house, to switch for the snow blower. No gas in the blower so have to drag it & that is a chore. The garage is so full if I need to sneeze I will have to step outside! Not a twig moving right now.

Bubble, great job cleaning this place up. My fav of the quotes/text is Harriet Beecher Stowe. I don't think I ever read that before but sure a wise thought. Thanks MUCH!

This song always moves me to tears and Austin Brown does it so well.

Time to hit the haystack!  I had company for dinner (we did it together) and she's spending the night here.  We're both hoping Cooper will sleep with me because my bed is bigger! 

I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow.  And may God bless us, every one!

Good morning...

Dancing today with Mr SB....doesn't look like much for inside maybe 3 inches for now as this snow is to continue until tomorrow.

Jane, who won out, you or Frankie to have the bed partner.

Patricia, I can see why this makes yours eyes leak. Powerful song.

Shirley at 50° I would leave the snow be as it will soon melt for you. Saves you dancing with the snowblower.

Gloria, hope all is well with you.

Better get my dancing duds on..

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good Morning Everyfriend!  That's for the ones that are here and the ones that show up later and also for the ones who have other places to be today!

AMY, Frankie went to bed first so Cooper went with her but I was shortly after and she brought him over to me and he spent the night!  He sure is a cuddler!

I have laundry in the washer and I emptied Frankie's out of the dryer and I'm going to fold it before she gets home from work.  I have another load to do after this one is finished and I can't think of what else needs doing except to pay the monthly bills.  Not a job I really want to do!

LLOYD, I remember having snow cream when I was little and I made it for my kids but I forget how we did it!  It's supposed to snow later this week.  Maybe I'll check it out and give it a try!

I'm having trouble with glasses.  I can't see the computer without my glasses and where they sit on my nose, they hurt after about 10 minutes of wearing them.  So my reading, computing and sunglasses time is limited.

I love all the places you send us, PATRICIA!  I sometimes forget to say so but you can believe it even it I don't say it!

Cooper and I just came back from a walk and it's cold out there.  I really don't want to know HOW cold it is so I'm not looking.

Yesterday, I found a recipe for Scottish Shortbread Cookies and I had all the stuff so I made some.  They turned out pretty good!  They're not as good as WALKER'S and they break up easier but they sure did hit the spot when I dipped them in my coffee this morning!

Now I'm going to put the wash in the dryer, another load in the washer and get down to paying the bills!  I wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow!

Good morning from another frigid Interior at minus thirty-six. We're due for minus eighteen as a high and warming up to minus twenty-six as our low tonight. The rest of February tends to be above in the days and minuses at night.

Today will be one of hopefully doing the tasks I ignored yesterday and doing some bill paying as many come due this time of the month. Speaking of times of the month, it just occurred that there is more than one advantage to being older.

Jane, thank you. My Youtube folder s full of scenic cams and musical interludes whenever I need a break. I'm always finding new ones; for example, there is a twenty-some female YouTuber in Las Vegas who has a competing bodybuilder and body trainer boyfriend who has his own body training Youtube series.

 It is impressive to watch how she and her friends, assorted family, and significant others go places and film everything, including making time for multiple selfies. She has made seven plane trips for vacations and family visits, and shopping at all the right stores in the past month. It's highly entertaining to watch how serious everything is viewed. She has been a Youtuber since 2017 or earlier, so I'm not the only one watching.

I don't want to come across as disapproving because I'm not. I'm fascinated at their lifestyle and at her age I was an often broke military wife and a  mother to a small child so it's very different in how my life then and hers is now. If I came from money, I'd be doing something similar I'm sure.  Of course, I have forty-five years on her so it's basically "Dallas" for me.

Good morning everyone, yes I know I missed being here yesterday and no I did enjoy not being here. The stupid CNA I am getting was here half an hour early and woke me up. Really when I called the office to complain the witch there told me to get used to it again.. This poor excuse of a cna cannot do anything or maybe because I am old and wear glasses I am almost blind. I did tell her I am getting tired of having to wash dishes she "washed" over. She did an insulted act and I took some glasses out of the cupnoard she washed and asked if they were clean, she said yes. Told her she needed glasses and held a couple up to the light and could see film on them She put an act on and even called the office. My son Bill came in then and she said nothing. My speakers died and I mentioned it to him the day before so he went to Staples and got new ones. He installed them and still nothing. He called Mike and he came over. All she did the whole time was set at the table with her phone. Mike sat here and brought up a page that showeddifferent things and one was volumn and it was almost off. He adjusted i and back in service with Skype at 4pm.
When her time was up I had to sign her phone and I refused to sigh it because she did nothing.Hope she does not get paid for those 3 miserable hours. They know I am not happy with this one. I will not let her cook anything, she is always playing with her hair, who would like finding hair in their food? Not me, I would throw it away.
I hope and pray none of you are ever in a position where you cannot do much and need someone to help. They sre are not all like Yvette and Fran, the one day I have a nice CNA a week. I will even get my back massaged today.

BUBBLE  the firs t graphic I agree with, Snow is Beautiful.

We have freezing rain in the forecast for the end of the week but this time the manager got smart and had a crew here cleaning the snow off the roof.

Better go get dressed before Fran gets here, laundry day and want to get things together except the sheets,bedding, we do that together.

Will try to do better tomorrow.
Have a good day and stay safe.

Yes I did write that last post hours ago. When I copy past anything like Patricia's links and they try t o copy/paste my post from notepad it just posts the links and have to wait an hour or more to post. I hope I remember that from now on. Fran is up with dry clothes so now will go help her with the bed she is great and I like easing the job for her when I can.
Byeeeeeeeeee

Gloria, you know "I don't know nuthin" when it comes to computers, compared with you..... but my son told me right from the start to use Word Pad and not Note Pad, would that have anything to do with the copy & paste?  When I remember to use it & not be typing on this post box (& probably lose it).... I don't have any problems with it copying & pasteing. 

I've been stewing for an hour, we had a good enough snow I have been debating whether to call the great grands to come slide down my hill. It is one of the few places safe, BUT I looked out the sliding door & a family from down the street was going down MY spot. I keep a path worn down all year, the stickers long gone from that path so my Flexible Flyer Sno-Nut won't get holes in it. And there they are wearing off MY SNOW again. Last snow they got there first. They could clean their own path off if they weren't so lazy, Dad & Mom went down as many times as the kids. Really makes me angry, that is "park property" but we pay higher taxes to live where we do. It has taken me 33 years to clean this path & have those trees grow along the river. My Flexible Flyer Sno-Nut is old, bought it when the kids were old enough to go off on their own with the wooden sleds, but not this plastic one. It has hand holds on each side & like an inner tube but with a bottom in it. Just stick feet out front for brakes & it flies! I do take care of it so won't go down any other spot because we have those hard "goat head" type stickers that will puncture rubber boots. Some times life isn't fair~~~   

Few flakes floating around & "they say" more & heavier this afternoon, so will hold off on cleaning the driveway. Sorry I had to rant, guess I will have to go out and ask them nicely to clean off their own path.... but wouldn't you realize if someone took the time to clean a path that THEY planned to use it?  Guess that is the problem, some people don't think.

It is 18° with feels like 5°. Birds fed, cats fed, me fed, more flakes floating down so I'm off for a nap, 3 hours & 45 min at night make for a grouch.
