Learning Something New

I drafted a post a few months ago. Tonight I made some edits, added to it and posted it. However, it shows below. Not knowing exactly what to do, I have left it - and am simply going to note it here. One of these days I might figure out how to create a draft and have it pop in at the top.

Happy Thursday!!!!!

The Party Continues ........

"It's never crowded along the extra mile." - Anonymous

This quote jumped out at me. Does this not seem to be true? If in a group of any number, doing anything - how often does it seem that someone is not quite done. Not always because they didn't know how or are simply slow, yet because they folded the letters three ways so the address showed. Not so all the print was inside.



Sometimes when we are alone, it is so easy to not slice the sandwich and eat it whole. After all who cares. Or, not make the bed -- because who will notice.

YOU do MATTER - not because someone will see - someone OTHER than YOU. YOU will know, and again, YOU matter.

Plus -- YOU can make a DIFFERENCE in a life other than your own.

Party -- of One or More

What constitutes a party, anyway? I think a party can exist - yet, if no one is there to share the joy of a party, is it really a party? In my last post I suggested that people share their summers, whether they had one or not; and, made a suggestion to "get the party started."

No takers - hmmm. Not sure how to take that, yet I began blogging literally years ago, when blogging appeared to be simply a blank slate to, simply write. All of a sudden, so it seemed, people began to appear by making comments. What an interesting phenomenon virtual writing became. I almost stopped. Someone appeared to be invading a private, one person party.

A one-person party where I was enjoying myself while I wrote. Unaware that eyes could see, voices would talk, and my thoughts were spreading.

So, I'm taking steps to return to my private party - untether myself from distractions newly discovered. You can join me in whatever capacity you like.

"Squeeze joy from each minute. Time does not return, yet memories do." Silicone bands with that quote are available in green/white and black/white - and I'm going to create either a magnet or bookmark.

Cheers and blessings to all!
