Hoosier Quote:
“The unthankful heart…discovers no mercies, 
but let the thankful heart 
sweep through the day and, 
as the magnet finds the iron, 
so it will find, in every hour, 
some heavenly blessings!
~Henry Ward Beecher~

Heavenly blessings in every hour...yes!
Every empty, shadowed bench deserves someone to sit on it, don't you think?

It's rewarding to me to see some are reading my Hoosier quotes. This quote makes me realize how often I need to be aware of the blessings that surround me.

Beautiful picture !
That would be just the bench I would choose after a stroll in the hot sunshine.

Would like to comment more often but find the denotion ''USA'' here in your link in this international setting inapropriate. The U.S. promoted by you as superior to other societies is mildly offending, and just not true. Sorry.

I'm not sure how you infer that I am bragging that my country is superior to others. I can hardly say that with the many problems of my country. If imy love for my country offends you, then skip coming her. But I am proud of my country; I see nothing sinister in celebrating our nation's birthday. I am also proud of my family's immigrants who came here from England, Scotland, Ireland and Germany.

Such a relief to find for those of aged wine age!
A beautiful response Nonnie

Pondering about My Blog

I've been through quite a bit these past months that I haven't posted.  First, packing and moving and then unpacking . The first step of unpacking was my taking down boxes that were five and six boxes high.  About two weeks after I’d moved and was in the midst of unpacking, I developed horrendous pain in my ribs. I slathered on my gel I use to alleviate Fibromyalgia pain. Realizing that even that was not helping. Trying to make a long story short- Asked for pain pills No help; asked for another kind Doctor wanted to see me Went in- he didn’t understand why I was still in pain Sent me to get x-rays Diagnosis: compressed fracture in my 9th vertebra Cause: osteporosis Now on meds for that I’ve discovered that anytime I overdo, pain comes back, not quite full-blown, but enough that I must stop doing whatever I’m doing. That includes sitting at my computer writing. I wanted to bring my friends up-to-date; I’m pondering whether I should stop blogging altogether o

Have humans sat here? Not recently, I think. Perhaps a snow couple rested for a while, and the shadowy remnants of them remain. more Cool Clicks
