Guard well your spare moments.

They are like uncut diamonds.

Discard them and their value

will never be known.

Improve them and they will

become the brightest

gems in a useful life.

Its Thursday Thoughts Again

Goodness, its been a week since I've been here.  Don't know where the time, days are going - just flying by.  The hook has been busy and most certainly fickle.  Working on a doily, red granny, field of flowers and would you believe it wants more!  I do have to get two baby blankets in the mix.  A pink for October and blue for November so I do have a bit of time.  The pink one will be from one of the one's showcased at Pammy Sue's, her picks are right on!  There's now so many things I want to make that I have seen there.

Big day today, my oldest's birthday.  Thirty-six years ago, born 10 weeks premature.   Thank you God, he's a healthy, happy man today with a son of his own.  Blessings abound.

A blessing filled day ...

Thursday Thoughts

It only takes one smile to offer welcome...

and blessed be the person who will share it.

It only takes one moment to be helpful...

and blessed be the person who will spare it.

It only takes one joy to lift a spirit...

and blessed be the person who will give it.

It only takes one life to make a difference...

and blessed be the person who will live it.

Celebrate the happiness that friends are always giving...

make every day a holiday and celebrate just living.

-Amanda Bradley

Thursday Thoughts

If we wait until we feel good,

we will never do anything.
