Just Little Bits

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.

The Conclave – movie

Conclave': A Fly on the Wall Inside the Secret Process to ...

The Pope has died and a new one must be appointed. Father Lawrence has been given the task to organize the conclave and call in the cardinals to make the decision. Ralph Fienes is at his best in this story about the secret process in the Catholic Church of gaining support for the next leader of the church. He is busy corralling, herding, organizing, and sourcing out the scandals that continue to erupt about the various men who wish to be elected.

The ending is a total surprise, catching most of the audience unawares, but the winner of the vote for Pope chooses the name Innocent, so take that as your clue. It was a good movie. I enjoyed it.

Trip to Disneyland

We made a trip to Disneyland, Anaheim, a few weeks ago. It was so much fun, and totally exhausting, right? Here are some pictures from Star Wars, Galaxy’s Edge.

Storm trooper – he was calling to the crowd below that they had been informed of insurgents and we were to keep walking and not do anything suspicious. Our grandsons loved it.

Have you ever been there? It is an amazing place, so much imagination and art work combined.
