Well I'm not sure Reagan was right about everything!

It's Off to Work We Go . . .
And for some of us it will be a long day just getting there. But if you wake on time and get going you should be able to get to work and start that final project for the year 2009. I am looking forward to 2010. I think I was happy to see a new administration in power this past January. It raised my spirit, gave me hope, but alas, we're still in Iraq and tomorrow will likely extend the war in Afghansitan so it will be another Christmas in the U.S. praying for our troops again. With that thought in mind, go make it a good week!
"OH Really"?
My favorite saying. I even have a snippet named after it in this blog. I say it facetiously almost daily.

Sunday Morning
The Laughing Heart
your life is your life
don't let it be clubbed into dank submission.
be on the watch.
there are ways out.
there is a light somewhere.
it may not be much light but
it beats darkness.
be on the watch.
the gods offer you chances.
know them.
take them.
you can't beat death but
you can beat death in life, sometimes.
and the more often you learn to do it,
the more light there will be.
your life is your life.
know life is your life.
know it while you have it.
you are marvelous
the gods wait to delight
in you.
~ Charles Bukowski ~
Ladies: Don't Throw Away Those Old Shoes

People Who Apparently Didn't Like Her Book
I admit, I didn't read it nor would I, and certainly wouldn't buy it.
TGIF
Our TGIF model is carefree and why not? It's black Friday, time to get into the swing of buy, buy, buy. I hear some department stores are selling luxury gifts for 40% off. My, My. Well I bet you can think of other ways to spend black Friday. If you have the holiday weekend off, enjoy the outdoors. Take the kids to a movie. Here in Florida it's a great weekend to sail. Whatever you do, make it a good one.Time
This is a clock for those of us who never know what time it is anyway. For those who are late for everything. For those who just can't get away from the internet long enough to have dinner.

A Thanksgiving Prayer
A Thanksgiving Prayer
Samuel F. Pugh
"O God, when I have food,
help me to remember the hungry;
When I have work,
help me to remember the jobless;
When I have a home,
help me to remember those who have no home at all;
When I am without pain,
help me to remember those who suffer,
And remembering,
help me to destroy my complacency;
bestir my compassion,
and be concerned enough to help;
By word and deed,
those who cry out for what we take for granted.
Amen."
Trouble in Oz
Australia's Koalas May Soon Be Extinct.
Millions of years in the making,they are slow and vulnerable, almost defenceless against introduced species -feral and domestic animals - and cannot flee fires, cars, cats, etc. With so much tree removal,they have to lumber along the ground to find new food, where they become prey to small fast creatures they are not evolved to defend against. It's just heartbreaking.
Old Saturday Night Live

Have Fun at Grandma's House
Yessiree. It's wonderful to look forward to a family gathering this Thanksgiving.
School is Out . . .
Watch out for those kids kissing each other. Be careful on the streets where you live. Kids are home for Thanksgiving and sure to be out and about, playing, shopping, having fun. Enjoy a safe Thanksgiving holiday.
