Cuddle and Rock

I love being a Mother.  I cuddled and rocked both of my children when they were infants and read to them when they were older for hours on end and left the housework, ironing and cooking for later.  I called it making memories.

Now almost 40 years later as I sit at home alone, I can pull those memories out to relive the most beautiful time of my life.

Thank to you a wonderful daughter and son for giving me memories!

It is okay to be angry;
It is not okay to be cruel!

Election Year

Election year is fast approaching.  Research your favored candidate now!  After officials are in office it is too late.  Know who you are voting for when you pull that lever or press that button!

Somebody

Somebody killed a little girl
Somebody burried this little girl in the backyard
Somebody moved the little girl's dead body to another area
Somebody found the little girl's body
Somebody was arrested
Somebody was found not guilty
So
Nobody will pay for killing this child

Some day justice will be served - served by some one else
because No One Can Fool God
He sees all
He hears all
He knows all

Walk, Pedal or Drive

The mobility of the human race has been uppermost in the development and invention of wheeled transportation.  God gave us two legs to make us mobile.  In our desire to "save" our time and put forth less energy, we harnessed horses, mules and cows as a means of transportation.  Still uncomfortable in our means of transport, the wheel was developed and along came tricycles, bicycles and carts.  Too much effort was required to pedal so motors were attached and we had motorcycles, scooters, automobiles and trucks.  Man still could not get where he wanted to be fast enough so along came airplanes and on and on and on.

What would have happened if we had stayed with what we were given - two legs?  The environment would have not experienced the impact of concrete, asphalt, emissions from vehicles, and so much more.  Would the earth and its inhabitants been healthier? 

The little town of Griffin, Georgia is now considering banning bicycles from sidewalks.  A little courtesy on both the part of the rider as well as the walker would most likely cure the woes of the complainants, but then the lack of such courtesy is the cause of so many accidents on the streets, roads and highways.  Walking is healthy; pedalling is healthy.  With the continuing rise in the price of fuel, there will be many more walking and riding.  It is the cheapest form of transportation and can be so much fun in the process of getting where we need to go. 

Whatever form of transportation you choose, remember to be courteous.

As Grandpa use to say, "be nice!"

Thanks for listening and until next time . . .

Happy reading!
