A boy whose parents had taken him on a vacation road trip said to me, “It took 4 1/2 hours to get to the ferry.” (We live on an island) Then he said, “and I am 6 1/2 years old. If it had taken 5 1/2 hours to get to the ferry, I would have been 12 when we got here. Almost a teenager.” Talk about logical thinking. 🙂
| Did you know January 8 is National Clean Your Desk Day? I think it’s a good idea. My problem is it will take more than a day to clean my desk. Layer upon layer of notes, most about the book I’m currently working on. My grandsons often comment, “Grandma, why is your desk covered in paper?” It’s a very good question, for which I don’t have a decent answer. If only I had more time……. 🙂 |
I just wanted to take the time to wish all you wonderful readers a Happy New Year and all good things in the coming months. It’s hard to imagine 2025, it seemed to come toward me like a freight train and now here it is.
What does the year hold for you? I’ve already done a bit of a list, and then tried to pare it down to a manageable size. I wouldn’t say I’m a huge optimist, but I do tend to overthink what can/will happen. 🙂
I’m praying for more peace in the world, less strife and wars, fewer conflicts. Let’s work together to make it all work.

A little bit of patience, and the hardest task is done; a little bit of cheerfulness is brighter than the sun.
A little bit of courage and the burden lighter grows; a little bit of sacrifice and the stream of friendship flows.
A little bit of happiness and off goes black despair; a little bit of kindness will soothe a troubling care.
A little bit of thoughtfulness will ease another’s pain; a little bit of giving will help him rise again.
A little bit of sympathy, a little bit of love, will banish clouds of darkness and set the sun above.
A little bit of humour, a little bit of song, these are the best of tonics when everything seems wrong.
–from Homespun, by Wilhelmina Stitch
