Little Things

Thanksgiving.   This year I decided to  make a list.   Thanksgiving is on the 28th, so I will list 28 blessings.     Let's start with the little things.     1.  Fresh water.     So many people in the world have to work  hard just to get a drink of fresh water.    All I do is turn it on...   which brings me to   2.  Indoor plumbing.    Praise God that I live in an area of the world where indoor plumbing is considered commonplace, when in fact it is a huge blessing and accomplishment of engineering.   3.  Hot water!!!!!!!!   Need I say more?    Who in their right mind is not thankful for hot water?   4.  Public toilets.    In fact, I have come to appreciate public toilets much more than I ever did in the past.    When  your only option is a foul smelling steaming hot port-a-john in the desert, and you are thankful it is there, you develop a new appreciation for the little things.   5.   Oxygen.    The air I breathe.     Yes, I am thankful for clean air

If You Get to Choose, Choose Love

"Life is very short, and there's no time For fussing and fighting, my friend."    These are lyrics from "We Can Work It Out" by The Beatles In Canton one day, I found these lyrics on a home decoration and, being a die hard Beatles fan, just had to purchase it. The young lady that checked me out had not a clue that the words were lyrics to a song, so with my out of key voice, I sang her a few lines ... . She was probably glad when she got rid of this crazy customer. Every now and then a song will get something right, you think? This is one of those. Life is short. No time for fussing and fighting. If you get to choose, choose love (that one is from me)............... WE CAN WORK IT OUT Try to see it my way, Do i have to keep on talking till i can't go on? While you see it your way, Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone. We can work it out, We can work it out. Think of what you're saying. You can get it w
