IF FULL OF CARE WE HAVE NO TIME TO STAND AND STARE-----POEM BY W.H.DAVIES. And so true in this big rush we live in today.Do try in the coming year to correct this and a new world will open for you.???corny? no TRUE.
Sit by the sea and just watch the waves come on over the rocks and onto the beach.Walk down to find a pretty shell.
Watch a child totally engrossed in a game.
Listen to the birds sing or squabble over the bird tray AND in the Summer have a bath.
Smell a rose,jasmine or just enjoy nature's gorgeous colours.
Have a rough and tumble with your dog.Such love is so rewarding.
Stop everything and give your Mom,Dad,child,etc a big hug.All these and many more are FREE and will surely give you some inner pleasure.

HAVING A FEW SIPS OF NOSTALGIA AND GETTING DELICIOUSLY DRUNK. [ No idea of author]

OOps--SORRY not a racist comment---just me and my steering wheel.Having not used the car,it is parked outside,in this very damp weather,I faced a disaster this morning.Off to get petrol and do some food shopping.Drove off AND found both my hands were pitch black covered with a sort of rubber sludge.That included the brake and gear levers.Plus the edge of my jacket sleeves.Thanks goodness for reams of paper at the filling station.Wet paper soon cleaned my hands,etc and my steering wheel now sports a very interesting white paper steering wheel cover.Oh well, will have to buy a cover,I suppose.Maybe a Xmas gift from a daughter ???
