After blogging continually for three years, as part of the celebration, I’m giving myself and my little avatar a vacation holiday. While we’re away, regrouping and recouping, I’ll put up something of interest. You’re welcome to peruse the last three year’s content here at our nest. Thank you for visiting!

“Eat That Frog!“

-
Thanks to PB

I can’t believe it! It’s been three years now since I started blogging. My how time flys when you’re having fun! To celebrate — I’m not doing anything elaborate — just dusting off a few of my previous articles and bringing them to the forefront.
Maybe I’ll do some other things to commemorate the month, but I have no idea what it will be. I’m just playing it by ear.

Back when I first started I knew nothing about adding pictures, so my articles then are very bare. My articles reflected the subject buttons located at the top of the page, moreso, than they do now.
However, what I lacked in visual images I made up with “tongue-in-cheek” sarcasm. This is one of my previous articles that I wrote in the spring, and had repositioned it for another date…
Get Those Feather Dusters Moving!

“Inspiration 365“

- Thanks to sxc.hu
Desiderata
“Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others,
even to the dull and ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.”
~ Max Ehrman
