Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

 

What good did it do when you frowned?  Let me ask:

Did it help you at all to accomplish your task?

Did it lighten your burden or help you along?

Did the frown that you wore make a right out of wrong?

                                                      

What good did it do to be grouchy today?

Did your surliness drive any trouble away?

Did you cover more ground than you usually do?

Because of the grouch that you carried with you?

                                                                    

If not, what’s the use of a grouch or a frown?

If it won’t smooth a path or a grim trouble down?

If it doesn’t assist you , it isn’t worth while:

Your work may be hard, but just do it and smile.

If you did not get a cupcake this morning, you are obviously born under a bad sign.   12 cupcakes today because we missed last Sunday with Mary Ellen's Memorial & brunch.  We actually left them home accidentally

Rosemary's Blessing

Dear Lord, please give me

 A few friends who understand me and remain my friends;

A work to do which has real value,
     without which the world would be the poorer;

A mind unafraid to travel, even though the trail be not blazed; 

A sense of humor;

Time for quiet, silent meditation;

The patience to wait for the coming of these things,

Amen.

Kansas City to our rescue.  Post tornado neighborhood clean up has been really helped with a number of these gigantic trucks which say on their doors, Kansas City Tree Care.  One of these trucks even tipped over on our street when it must have gotten overloaded.  Nevertheless, still a  terrific help.
