Quote of the Week

If you want to write, write.
- Epictetus



So often self-doubt stands in our way.  If we believe ourselves not capable of a task and turn away, we will never know what we could have done.  If you want to write, paint, build a go-cart, whatever, try.

Nursery Rhyme Redo: Little Bo Peep



 Little Bo Peep had too many sheep
And the sheriff came to impound them
He locked them away for a year and a day
And dared Bo Peep to find them


Late night produces some strange thoughts, and so this is the first installment of my rewritten nursery rhymes.

A Green Giant

Have you ever seen
A pepper big as me
I think I must have fallen
From a giant pepper tree


I was such a handsome fellow
My picture she did take
She sat me on the scale
My weight she didn't fake

When she sliced me open
My secrets to reveal
What she saw I thought
Would surely make her squeal

Quote of the Week

No matter how dark the moment, 
love and hope are always possible.
- George Chakiris


Love and hope is the light that breaks through the darkness, and gives us a reason to get up each morning.

Tommy's Treat

Photo credit: Pietroizzo
Black, white and tan, it wriggles and whimpers.  Where's mama?  Mounds of squirming legs, small wet noses sniffing out breakfast.  Mama rolls over and breakfast is served.  Day after day,the furry bundles grow, skittering around, chewing everything in sight.  


Little Tommy points to the one with a black patch over one eye.  He's mine!
