Thought for the Day

 

“When anyone asks me about the Irish character, I say look at the trees. Maimed, stark and misshapen, but ferociously tenacious.”

RIM  TO  RIM
 
Did it in a day ….
June 14, 1994 ....
The Grand Canyon ….
North Rim to the South Rim.
No preparation.
Tom said I could do it
while on a trip to southern Utah.
He dropped me off at 4:49 AM
on the North Rim
and then drove by car around
to the South Rim – and
there he was waiting for me
at 7:25 PM – with a small crowd
of folks – waving signs and clapping.
Did it.
It was on his bucket list –
but I was to drink from the great bucket:
the Grand Canyon - a great brag.

COMMENTS  CAN  CRUSH 

 

Saw a YouTube video
with interviews of people
being asked if they were ever
crushed by comments.
 
Woooooo!  Tough stuff!
 
How wrong was the comment
we sing-songed back at kids who hurt us:
“Sticks and stones will break my bones,
but words will never hurt me!”
 
Words!   Tough stuff!

STRANGERS IN OUR SIGHT

 

We have all heard the song,
“Strangers in the Night!”
 
We have all heard we all have
family members who are strangers.
 
We all know the saying,
“Strangers in our midst.”
 
Well, then, what is the secret
of getting to know each other?”
