well this put a smile on my face...

As great as the Grand Isle vacation was,

as wonderful as the company was,

it is good to be home as in any family/friend gathering

there is always some drama...

Today, I open an email from my dear friend Stacy 

who was one of our Island visitors

and this is awaiting me.

It began with a story about a glass of water

and how if you hold if for a few minutes or a few hours,

there is no problem with the 20 oz. glass of water.

But hold it for a whole day, a few days

and an ambulance may be needed.

Lay down, lay down, lay down your burdens with me.

Yep, that is one of those old church songs I love.

If you carrying some one else's burdens lay them

down at the foot of God and let them go...

here are a few instances that will help. 

1* Accept the fact that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue!

 

2* Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.

 

3* Drive carefully . . . It's not only cars that can be recalled by their Maker.

 

4* If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.

 

5* If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

 

6* Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you won't have a leg to stand on.

 

7* Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.

 

8* Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live.

 

9* You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person.

 

10* A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.

 

11* Have an awesome day, and know that someone has thought about you today.

 

It was me, your friend!

 

*Help save the earth . . . It's the only planet with chocolate !!!

Thanks my dear Stacy, not only for the email that was so needed 

today but for the friendship that you and I started many moons ago

and the promise we made to each other to work on 

making it stronger.

I love you big, big!
