More Words!

An old barn;  an old tree; and an old stone wall. . . what's not to like?   A memory builder for some who grew up in a rural area far away from the busy city streets.   A comfort picture which should bring a loving memory or two to the 'old farm folks';   a picture says a thousand words!

Hands speak for themselves as they tell a tale of living, loving and hard work.   Take a good look at your hands today and spend a few minutes tracing a bit of your history by the lines in your hands.  The beauty of the hands, the lines sketched deep and true showing that you did live..a lot..and the lines tell a life story.

and I have three new books to add to my bookcase and read when I find some time.   You cannot see books for sale and walk bye;  you stop;  you look and of course you walk home with a few new books for future reading.  The secret is to learn how to find the reading time....maybe put aside an hour ...or two...a day and hide out in a good tale....it helps to make a plan and disappear and hide in your new book...don't answer the phone....don't answer the door....ssh....quiet....don't turn on your hearing aids as it is okay to read as it stretches the brain, the base of your laughter or even a tear or two, all that makes time disappear into a wonderland of life tales.  Authors, aren't they wonderful!!

So today is a good day to take time out for yourself.   Make a plan.  Get your chores done early;   make the phone calls you want and need to make;   pack a little lunch in the fridge so when it is time to eat you can just grab it and continue to read.    Give yourself a gift today.

Be good, be kind, be gentle and be useful.   Be someone who loves to share.   Share YOU with those you like and love and don't forget how good a hug feels.  Hugs to all.
