Thought for the day

We must be mindful that it can also be true with the written word

Hi @Romla
So true.  Hopefully your post will be considered by ladies before posting their own.
We don't know what readers are going through or what they are feeling at any given time so hasty typing is not always helpful.

I love that, @Romla  - the pen is definitely sharper than the sword .... and has been the downfall of many a man too!   

What's that old saying? Do right and fear no Man ..... Don't write and fear no Woman!

Take care out there, people! xx

Saw this on a post from BC fb group - thought it appropriate.

Oh @arpie I do like your Begin Again. I have written it in my journal so that I can read and reread it again and again  to remind me of life's precious moments,  but your best one is " It is during the worst storms of your life" ....... How very true.

I am so pleased that you are positively impacted by them, Annie ..... even the Storm on (which is, unfortunately, true in so many cases.) 

There are some wonderful uplifting messages out there ..... and every now & then, we need a lift!  xxx

This came in a school newsletter today and I thought worth sharing especially for those with families.

Be Grateful For ….
Early wakeups because that means you have children to love.
A house to clean as that means you have a safe place to live.
Laundry as that means you have clothes to wear.
Dishes to wash as that means you have food to eat.
Crumbs under the table as that means you have family meals.
Grocery shopping as that means you have money to provide for your family.
Toilets to clean as that means you have indoor plumbing.
Lots of noise as that means you have people in your life.
Endless questions about homework as that means you have kids whose brains are growing.
Being sore and tired when you go to bed as that means you are still alive.
Not everyone is as lucky.

In striving for many things in our daily lives sometimes we forget - I know I do sometimes.
