Joke'n Quote Friday♥Week #42

 

I tell ya, my dog is lazy.

He don’t chase cars. He sits on the

curb and takes down license

plate numbers.

Rodney Dangerfield

 

Work hard and become a leader;
    be lazy and become a slave.
Proverbs 12:24 NLT

 

Original Song/Poem Thursday♥Week #42

Gray hair is a crown of splendor;
    it is attained in the way of righteousness.
Proverbs 16:31

 

 

I Don’t Want to Be Round

 

As a woman gets older

Her body I’ve found

An odd shape starts forming

And that shape is round.

 

The stomach it pooches

The butt looks all wrong

Her boobs and her earlobes

Get floppy and long.

 

Dimples and wrinkles

Appear overnight

Brown spots and skin tags

It is quite a fright.

 

Toe nails get nasty

The hair on her head

Gets thinner and grayer

No “bouncy”, it’s dead.

 

But something else happens

As her body gives

Her mind starts to ponder

On the life she has lived.

 

Does the outward appearance

Really matter that much

It’s all about people

And the lives we have touched.

 

Before her life’s over

There’s still time to love

Round’s not so bad

It is better for hugs.

 

A well cushioned body

Is better to grip

Make someone else smile

Forget those round hips!

A happy heart makes the face cheerful,
    but heartache crushes the spirit.
Proverbs 15:13

Growing up, I spent MANY hours
in front of a TV screen watching
"I Love Lucy".
I LOVE Lucy. Lucille Ball was the
star of the show. Along with her was
Ricky, Ethel, Fred, and Little Ricky.
I don't think I have ever watched
one episode that I didn't laugh.
NOW, my girls who are in
their 20's have discovered
"I Love Lucy" and they
love her too.
Lucille Ball,
THANK YOU
for your contribution to the world.
(btw, your signature if very difficult
to find online....)

Joke'n Quote Friday♥Week #41

 

There are three faithful friends:

 an old wife,

an old dog,

and ready money.

Benjamin Franklin

 

A friend loves at all times,
    and a brother is born for a time of adversity.
Proverbs 17:17

 

Original Song/Poem Thursday♥Week #41

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted
    and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
Psalms 34:18

 

Love

 

On a day that was filled with sadness

With tears and sorrow and pain

I asked the Lord to restore my joy

I knew I could never be the same.

 

A person I loved had hurt me

It’s awful what silence creates

I asked the Lord through tears and grief

How someone could do me this way.

 

You created this person that hurt me

Their heart is not like a dear child’s

They’re cold and their cruel and bitter and mean

But they hide behind fake loving smiles.

 

They act like they’re living in wisdom

They don’t even see what they do

I think that I’ve figured it out my Lord

This person is still missing YOU.

 

The love that You give is eternal

Your Spirit inside us does dwell

If someone has You inside of themselves

The love only grows and it swells.

 

When people we love desolate us

And hurt us and leave us to die

That’s when You step in and hold our souls close

And whisper to us when we cry.

 

The person without you is empty

That’s why they treated me so

I will pray every day for their hearts to find

The joy and the love you bestow.

A man’s gift makes room for him,
and brings him before great men.

Proverbs 18:16

 

 

Pablo Picasso a was a Spanish

painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, 

stage designer, poet and playwright who spent most

of his adult life in France.

He was born in 1881 and died in 1973 at the age of 91.

I would say that he had a FULL life.

His art is AMAZING to behold.

 

I would like to say THANK YOU

Mr. Picasso for your contribution

to this world.

and your earrings just dip you

our computer was down.
Here we go.....!!}

 

It's Been A While...

It's been a while since I posted on this blog. We had the tree removed and are on to the NEXT project that needs doing.

Have been spending more time writing in my other blog "A 100 Words a Day" because I am trying to write 100 words a day. I write more than that, I just need to have a more structured place to put some of the words that I write so I type them there. Working on my fourth unpublished book now. It is emotionally killing me. I am only on page 16 of page 366. Slow slow SLOW going!! I think because writing it is like giving blood. It drains me. (some pun intended)....

Should I go back to my original purpose of this blog before dad died. I wrestle with that because it was going so well before that happened. If I do, it will start on Monday. I'm not sure which Monday, but Monday for sure.

And now, a picture from my Yonder Hearts collection:

Every morning, I step on
Benjamin Franklin's face when I walk.
Doesn't everyone?
Happy Trails
Sorry Ben :(
