The Importance of Being Kind
Instead of complaining that the rosebush is full of thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses. ~Proverb
A friend of mine says you can’t fix stupid, and she’s 100 percent right.
But maybe it’s possible to fix pettiness.
Like the other day in church.
Thanksgiving 2017
The Pilgrims made seven times more graves than huts. No Americans have been more impoverished than these who, nevertheless, set aside a day of thanksgiving. ~H.U. Westermayer
We need a real Thanksgiving
More now than ever before
With families ’round the table
Instead of at the store.
We need a real Thanksgiving
More feast and family gladness
More charity and good will
Less Black Friday madness.
We need a real Thanksgiving
With football and post-meal naps
Fewer sales and frenzied shopping
More hot cocoa and night caps.
We need a real Thanksgiving
A full day without bad news.
No phone, TV, or Internet,
Nothing to give us the blues.
We need a real Thanksgiving
Who’s with me on this thought?
A day of peace and gratitude
And celebrating as we ought.
Note: Happy Thanksgiving to one and all! My son Domer is home to help me prepare the feast and yes, we’ll probably do a bit of shopping … after the holiday! I’ll catch up with you all in a few days.
Sunday’s Gem — Clear Quartz
Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better. ~Albert Einstein
Composed of one part silicon and two parts oxygen (silicon dioxide), Clear Quartz (from the Greek “krystallos,” or “ice”) was once thought to be made from water frozen too hard to ever melt.

Farewell to Fall
Autumn is the season of change. ~Taoist proverb
Anticipating a wicked storm followed by a cold front on Sunday evening, I decided to get in a walk so you all could enjoy what might be our last taste of Autumn this year.
Temps were in the low 70s (!) on Sunday, but fell to the 40s overnight. And while this hasn’t been the prettiest Fall we’ve had, it’s had its beauty. Take a look and see if you agree:
Maple turning shades of yellow
