Friday August 25 2017  IMPORTANT NOTICE

There is a lot going on in this household at present: too much to do in too little time.  If you are current with my blogs you are aware that our family has experienced two deaths in the past week, both out of the area.  We were unable to attend the first funeral due to distance but since we have a bit more time to arrive at the second Memorial Service we do plan to attend.

A lot of loose ends must be tied up, projects to finish, people to contact, and so forth.  I will be unable to write blogs for a period of time due to my schedule.  My poetry will stack up in my journal instead as I must use every moment available to prepare for all that is coming due.

Thank You for so faithfully for reading and commenting on my blogs via email when a topic strikes your fancy!  I enjoy hearing from each of you.  Our house phone voice mail is not working at present so I will not be able to receive messages from those who call.  You may check back periodically to see when I resume writing.

AND I NEVER KNOW WHEN

Life has a way

Of setting its pace

But there are occasions

When all is a race.

Too much to do

In so little time

Creating chaos

That makes me whine.

So rather than complain

About such overload

I’ll set some baggage

Beside life’s road.

I’ll do what I can;

What I think is best,

And hopefully allow

Adequate time to rest.

So thus I refrain

By giving up a pleasure

To spill out of my heart

Words without measure.

So now is a time

To take a break

That will be open ended

For my health’s sake.

But you might want to check

Every now and then,

The yen to write comes

And I never know when.

Thank You God for giving me the strength to refrain from writing.

GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU!
