Got Brains?

This is true.  I swear it is.

I had breakfast at this little diner that is close by. 
They are one of the few places in town that still sells brains and eggs. (NO I don't eat that.  Turns my stomach just thinking about it.)

Didn't here what the customer actually said but I am guessing he said he wanted brains and eggs.

What I did here was Tim (the cook) say:

I don't have any brains.

But I have them ordered.  

Friends

Ain't it fine when things are going
Topsy-turvy and askew
To discover someone showing
Good old-fashioned faith in you?

Ain't it good when life seems dreary
And your hopes about to end,
Just to feel the handclasp cheery
Of a fine old loyal friend?

Gosh! one fellow to another
Means a lot from day to day,
Seems we're living for each other
In a friendly sort of way.

When a mile or cheerful greetin'
Means so much to fellows sore,
Seems we ought to keep repeating'
Smiles an' praises more an' more. 

quote by Keith D Harrell

There are two kinds of people in the world:  those who pull you up and those who pull you down.  Identify the people who pull you up and show them an attitude of gratitude.

quote by e e cummings

To be nobody but yourself --- in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you like everyone else --- means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight, and never stop fighting.

Lets all help Vivian

Please if you haven't been reading my other journal go there right now and read about a fellow J-lander.  Vivian had her computer stolen (along with other things) and with it all of her graphics.

Seeing that she was voted Best Use of Graphics in our last awards it seems only right that we try to help her get her collection started again.

Click on these links read about it.  If I did this right a new window should open and you won't lose your place here:

Vivian needs our thoughts and prayers

Graphics for Vivian

Come on and lets show Vivian how much we love her.

Thanks,

Kathy

How to be Cheerful by Edgar A Guest

How to be cheerful, do you say,
When the wind is cold and the skies are gray?
How to be cheerful? Just one way:
Forget yourself for a while today.

Never mind self and your irksome cares.
Somebody else greater burden bears.
Stretch out a helping hand and play
The friend to all who may chance your way.

You'll never be cheerful sitting there
Sorrowing over the hurts your bear,
For never a joyous hour is known
By the man who thinks of himself alone.

How to be cheerful?  Scatter cheer;
Share your life with your neighbors here;
Encourage the weary and comfort the sad
And you'll find more joy than you've ever had.

 

Just a thought

                                  

quote by Theodore Isaac Rubin

          
            
              Kindness 
         Is more important         
            Than wisdom,                          And the recognition
                 of this
          is the beginning
              of wisdom.
