Those in a small rural area enjoy a trip to the city.
So much to do, so much excitement, so much to see.
Those in the city enjoy a change of pace by visiting a smaller quieter area.
Less noise, less interruptions, less hectic, calm and peaceful surroundings.
But as opposite as these may seem,
Both the rural person and the city person agree-
It is so good to get back home.
Home truly is the best place to be.
I remember hearing a lady tell of the biggest surprise and scare of her life.
It was a busy day at the house when her son walked in and was carrying a limp duck.
He told her he had just shot the duck.
She explained she was so busy that he should just lay the duck in the freezer and she would get to it as soon as she could.
It wasn't too long and she went to the freezer to get the duck.
Evidently the duck was not shot. Rather it has been stunned and had woken up in the freezer.
When she opened the freezer door the duck flew out. She screamed.
A busy day had just gotten busier try to capture a duck flying around in the house.
What a duck surprise it had been! Quack! Quack!
I was told of a road in life that I should go,
Then as time went by, off of the road paths began to show.
It took time for these paths in life for me to find.
One by one they came and they went, no two the same,
There were lessons to learn, beauty to discover,
And learning from these paths revealed more and more
To understand and see things I hadn't I ever known before.
For when I felt I didn't belong,
It doesn't mean anything is wrong-
It means a person knows their own true identity,
and they have chosen not to be what others want them to be.
To know that truth is a quality that will shine brighter and brighter with time,
And bring us to the mountain tops that only we can climb,
Showing us heights and depths of satisfaction that few people know,
Because by staying true to who we are, we carve a path that only we can carve,
A path of our true identity that will shine through time,
And in some situations become a pathway that new generations to find.
In my humble opinion I think the expression "turning point" is expressing "change".
Life is change from birth onward. Life is filled with multiple turning points.
Right now there are several areas of turning points that people are going through or experiencing around them.
Turning points can be for the better---turning points can be for the worse.
We might not be able to stop a change.
but as we work through it we can try to make it better.
So every time a turning point changes things for the worse let's try to make it better.
And every time a turning point changes for the better let's be thankful and hold on to the
good work that is of benefit to all.
Sewing on a white two-hole button onto the cuff of a man's white shirt shouldn't take too long,
I have allotted eight minutes because everything I need is right here,
and they say that half of a project is rounding everything up.
Now, where is that white button?- it was laying right here on the white shirt.
Should I shake out the shirt?
What is that ping sound on the glassware?
This room is full of glassware. It has been twenty minutes and I finally found the button.
Now I need to thread the needle.
I am safely putting the white button in an antique gold cup.
Now, to thread the needle. Yes, three tries isn't that bad.
I may have more mending so I am cutting the thread a yard long and tying a knot.
Here goes. Everything is lined up. Whoops! the thread is knotting up and I can't pull it through.
What to do> Slow down and get it done as fast as I can.
I cut the thread. Where's the button?
My husband walks in wearing a plaid shirt.
He said, "They changed the dress code from formal to casual for tonight's club meeting.
My husband and I are into a more advanced time of aging.
I was carrying some bedding today and one piece fell to the floor.
I asked, "Which one of us is more capable of picking that up off of the floor?"
My husband replied, "Neither. Your not able and neither am I."
"Neither of us" was his reply.
Hello Readers,

Wishing everyone the very best.
