Good Thursday morning, dear friend. I could not resist posting another husband-and-wife joke. This one made me laugh out loud. Perhaps it will have that same effect on husbands more than on wives or ladies.  Wife: “I look fat. Can you compliment me?” Husband: “You have perfect eyesight.” Have a blessed Thursday...Take care and GOD bless... ... View more

Good Thursday morning dear friend, hopefully, this will be a bright spot for your day... This is another husband & wife joke so I hope you get a chuckle out of it just as I did... A woman came home to find her retired husband waving a rolled-up newspaper around his head. Wife: “What are you doing dear?” Husband: “Swatting flies. I got three males and two females” Wife: “How on Earth do you know which gender they were?” Husband: “Easy: three were on the beer, and the other two were on the phone.” Have a great Thursday friend, take care and GOD bless... ...

Good Wednesday afternoon dear friend... Dear friend sometimes to experience the best that life has to offer you, you need to sacrifice the temporary good that you have now...Ask yourself, are you just willing to settle, or are you willing to go after the impossible?  Have a blessed Wednesday...Take care and GOD bless... ...

Good Wednesday morning friend...I know it has been a while since posting, but hopefully, this will be a bright spot in your day... This couple had been married for a while, and they both noticed that they had been arguing a bit more frequently than normal. So one night at bedtime, the husband says to his wife, "I need more space in this marriage." The wife turns to him and says, "If you want more space, then join NASA." Have a great day friend...Take care and GOD bless...   ... View more

Good Tuesday afternoon dear friend...I hope you are planning a weekend fall getaway this weekend, there is so much you will miss out on... Dear friend, are you feeling overwhelmed, pressured, or stressed??? Sometimes all you have to do is just take a step back stop whatever it is you are doing and take a long breather or a long pause...Dear friend that is what I have done for the last month...I just felt overwhelmed, pressured, and stressed so I just took a breather, a month-long pause to regenerate, refocus, and reordered some of the things in my life that needed some changes...And dear friend sometimes that is exactly what one needs to do...So stop hurting yourself by getting overwhelmed, pressured, and stressed, take a breather step back, and re-evaluate your priorities...Trust me when I say you will be so glad and blessed that you did... Have a great Tuesday and a blessed week...Take care and GOD bless... ... View more

@MariaPandora I love the song Wicked Game...I have the original artist Chris Isaac but I will listen to the cover by H.I.M....Thanks for sharing that as well... Take care and GOD bless... ... View more

@Pandora yesterday I gave you my favorite cover song, today I will add two more famous cover songs that some will think are or were the originals but are not... Original Bob Dylan's Knockin' On Heaven's Door  Cover by Gun's N' Rose's Knockin' On Heaven's Door  The late Sinead O'Conner did the next famous cover song Nothing Compares 2 U...Many people believe she is the original artist for the song but here is the original. Nothing Compares 2 U by Prince... (Original) Nothing Compares 2 U by Sinead O'Conner... (Cover)  Have a great Tuesday take care and GOD bless...     ... View more

@Pandora this may be the most famous, but regardless if it is or isn't it is my favorite... The original is Bob Dylan All Along the Watchtower  Jimi Hendrix does a cover version All Along the Watchtower  Side note about this song: Hendix's version was so renowned that even Bob Dylan started to perform the song in Hendrix style... Take care and GOD bless... ... View more

@AlyssaPandora that is a great choice, here are my top two which happen to be theirs as well... “Carry On Wayward Son” and “Dust in the Wind” are classics that still resonate with many people today, including me...As far as the answer goes to the question of @Johndeckman9  I will say Led Zeppelin, I don't think there was another band more popular during that era... Their albums like “Physical Graffiti” (1975) and “Presence” (1976) were massive hits, and they had a huge following worldwide. Songs like “Stairway to Heaven,” “Kashmir,” and “Whole Lotta Love” became iconic and are still celebrated today. Anyway, that is my 2 cents worth... Take care and GOD bless... ... View more

Good Saturday afternoon dear friend...Can you believe we are only eight more days away from the first day of fall?

Have a great weekend, a blessed week, and plan your weekend getaway for next weekend...Take care and GOD bless... ... View more

Good Friday morning dear friend...I was asked this question some time ago...A question that has a straightforward answer...How do you end violence? How do you end verbal aggression? The answer I gave was straightforward...With one kind word at a time...with one kind gesture at a time...Some will say "Well, that is being a pacifist". So if one is angered or verbally aggressive because of something I did not do, and I'm trying to calm them with kind words or gestures does that still make one a pacifist? If you continue to attack violence with violence then all you will have is violence..." Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.” (Mark Twain) Have a great Friday and a blessed weekend dear friend...Take care and GOD bless... ...
