Diary of the journey on the path least traveled..just letting the heart do the talking while the fingers do the walking while being different, being me… 🙂
( “I do not do, say or write something to been seen or heard… I do, say or write something because it needed to be done, said or written…” , no nominations please, just sharing thoughts while exploring life 🙂 )..
“Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do…” (Pope John XXIII )…
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road your trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and its turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When they might have won, had they stuck it out.
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with another blow.
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victors cup;
And he learned too late when the night came down,
How close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when your hardest hit,
It’s when things seem worst that you mustn’t quit!
(Wade Watts)
Hello Diary,
With the possibility of heat and humidity in the near future, spent the week busy preparing for the heat wave… 🙂
But even with dealing with life’s challenges and the weather, one needs to pause… to smell the roses and contemplate when the time is right..
To climb a mountain
To fly a plane,
To hug a friend
To run naked in the rain.
To stand up tall
To make your thoughts known,
To blend with a crowd
To go it alone.
To till the field
To sow the seeds of peace and more,
To pen a poem of love
To write a musical score.
To take this path
To maybe take the other,
To open ones heart
To share it with another.
Today, tomorrow perhaps?
The answer is in the heart, you see,
So when is the right time, one asks?
When your heart wishes for it to be..
( Larry “Dutch” Woller )
Yes, not only the heart but time itself… 🙂
And the weekend will be the right time to relax, browse memories and contemplate the tomorrows and when that is done, open the trusty Kindle… 🙂
All with a taste of wine… 🙂
But for now, will have to close and it is HI HO HI HO it’s off to work I go… 🙂 but I shall return again one day, Fate be willin’ and the creeks don’t rise…
Until we meet again..
Roses are red
Violets are blue,
Thoughts from the heart
I’m sending to you.
Not just another day, dear friend
For in spite of time, distance or whatever,
If only in spirit and thought
We’ll be sharing today together.
So, have a wonderful day, dear friend
Wishing you all the best, nothing less,
May today, every day, AND your heart
Be filled……with love and happiness.
(Larry “Dutch” Woller)
Ooo I really like that Wade Watts piece. “It’s when things seem worst that you mustn’t quit!” < A good thing to remember! Good luck with the hot weather prep – Hopefully you can spend the weekend a little cooler, chilling, catching up on Kindle and smelling those roses with a glass of wine in hand!

Wade Watts’ wise words are very appropriate for these days of uncertainty. “It’s when things seem worst that you mustn’t quit!”
Beautiful song selections from Enya to calm the anxious heart.
