Loved this. We all read as fast as we can, devour books by the dozens. I am reading one now by Ken Follett, the first of a trilogy called "Fall of the Giants" . I just read he has a sequel out to his"World Without End" so I have another book to buy. He is a great writer and does a lot of research into history. I find his books are never short. . . and it takes a long time to get through one, but well worth the hours.
So today, go build a bridge or two and take a book along for rest times. Enjoy good health and take care of yourself. Some folks have more problems than they can handle. It is sad to hear and to see folks that are suffering. We all thought one of our neighbors had gone off for Thanksgiving holiday, only to find that her new phone was not working, she was flat on her back for two days because of a back problem and was unable to move about. She couldn't hold food down so didn't eat. When she rang my door bell last evening I couldn't believe she had been alone. She had some hot tea and some crackers but refused any other foods. What a shame it is that we have come so far away from the 'good old days' when we would know our neighbors and we would be there if there was a need of any kind. Our world changed so much and we seemed to have changed right along with it and not for the good I might add. We should be our brothers keepers when we live side by side and although not one of us wants to have hour long visiting neighbors, we do need to have five minute drop ins and know that all is well. So if you have not seen your neighbor for days, be sure to check things out. It is not being nosey, but being a neighbor . . . a quick hello could mean the difference in their lives; a fellow human being . . . just like each of us. . . and one never knows when the shoe can be on the other foot. So go, do a good deed, take that extra second to knock on the door and say hello. Be kind, be good, be YOU. Hugs to all. |
