You gotta look for the good in the bad,

Good Karma to you, Kevin, on your next year of college.  It has been delightful having you around this summer.

Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

Lord, Thou knowest better than I myself that I am growing older and will someday be old. Keep me from the fatal habit of thinking I must say something on every subject and on every occasion.

Release me from craving to straighten out everybody's affairs. Make me thoughtful but not moody; helpful but not bossy. With my vast store of wisdom, it seems a pity not to use it all; but Thou knowest, Lord, that I want a few friends at the end. Keep my mind free from the recital of endless details; give me wings to get to the point. Seal my lips on my aches and pains; they are increasing, and love of rehearsing them is becoming sweeter as the years go by.

I dare not ask for improved memory, but for a growing humility and a lessening cock-sureness when my memory seems to clash with the memories of others. Teach me the glorious lesson that occasionally I may be mistaken.

Keep me reasonably sweet, for a sour old person is one of the crowning works of the devil. Give me the ability to see good things in unexpected places and talents in unexpected people; and give, O Lord, the grace to tell them so.

Amen.

17^th Century Nun’s Prayer

Just in case you like to feed the ducks and pigeons…  Sign at the entrance to the community of Hilton Head Plantation.   The numerous man made lagoons often have a resident.  One stopped bike and walking traffic on a bike path I was using one nice winter afternoon.  They love to sun bathe.
