There's a time to part and a time to meet,
There's a time to sleep and a time to eat,
There's a time to work and a time to play,
There's a time to sing and a time to pray,
There's a time that's glad and a time that's blue,
There's a time to plan and a time to do!
There's a time to grin and show your grit......
But, there never was a time to quit.
I read the above and thought it very "timely" and true-----There are days that I feel that I will never make it to see another day, but---I always do, and there are so many days that are good--that are special---Yesterday, I was driving into town and was thinking how good I felt--Himself got to the dentist and everything seemed to fit into the day--
I had a text from my younger brother yesterday, telling us that he will be coming for a visit near the end of this month. How wonderful! He lives in New Hampshire and will be in this area to do some fishing. --There are some beautiful lodges north of here and I hope his fishing buddies will stay at one in particular-- There is also a huge Provincial Park on 4 lakes. When ever we drive up there, we usually see Moose and/or a Bear---Lotza people from town here Kayak along the little white river , north of town--It will be so nice to see family-- (my brother!)-It has been a long time ---
It' is a lovely day-- buggy--but, sunny and warm-- Hopefully I can get some grass cut before I go for "The Hair"--
I just wanna be with you also! Sure miss Sparks!
ReplyDeleteawwwww--so sweet--Lynda
DeleteSo nice to hear that your brother is coming for a visit. I missed Spark at first but then I realized I was spending way to much time on the computer and not enough moving. I have lost about 10 lbs since I quit Sparking. Glad you are here and cheering us along.
ReplyDeleteThere was a lot to do to get points which was kinda silly-- I agree-- Lynda
DeleteThat’s great you got Fred to the dentist!
ReplyDeleteThat’s a spirit lifter that you have a visit from your brother later this month! You’ll have a wonderful time.
Kudos on releasing almost 40 lbs. since you had started on Spark. I miss Sparks very much! Yes most of all, I miss the people on Sparks, but luckily, have found a way to keep in touch with YOU!
Have a wonderful time being pampered getting the hairs cut!
Hugs

Hi Barb------Yes we keep in touch and quite a few others are on here too-Lynda
DeleteWell done on the weight loss and, more importantly, getting healthier!
ReplyDeleteThank yu ---and hugs-Lynda
DeleteSo happy that you will see your brother later on this month. Lucky you! I’ve forgotten about Spark, sometimes a part of their new money-making scheme emails as if they need to still get folks to join, not doing as well as they had thought. Companies don’t want to pay for their expertise after all. Quite a few have lost weight, after Spark stopped, the daily reading there seems to be taken as nagging, and nagging does not help. Enjoy your day today! Ethelmerz
ReplyDeletetoo bad too, because it was a good site-- I think they got some bad advice-Lynda
DeleteOne more day to live through. Glad you'll get to see your brother! It's always nice to have something to look forward to!
ReplyDeleteHi Barb--- I hope yer day went well-Lynda
DeleteCongratulations on your weight loss, you have really done well. Wouldn't it be nice if we could all get together and have a picnic beside the lake. Great news that you will see your brother next month. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteIt would be wonderful if we all met on the dock-- Lynda
DeleteYes, sometimes it's good to remember that we do have some great days! I am so ready for my surgery - a little over 2 weeks left to wait. Not looking forward to the long recovery period but life without pain will be a huge blessing.
ReplyDeleteI forgot about your surgery--- Yu must reminds all just before yu go in-- then we can pray that all goes well--and it will-- Lynda
DeleteOh, you're going to have such a wonderful time with your brother!
ReplyDeletePatricia--Oh I hope so--long time since I have seen him-- Lynda
DeleteWe love your thoughts, Lynda.
ReplyDeleteIt's not too buggy here yet. I will say, though, that near dusk when the blood suckers (my mama's word for mosquitoes) come out...I stay in!
You accomplish a lot! I know it's tiring, hard to find "me" time, too...but it's very satisfying to cross things off your list...even if the list is in your head!
Here's another on on time by Henry Van Dyke:
Time is
Too slow for those who wait,
Too swift for those who fear,
Too long for those who grieve,
Too short for those who rejoice,
But for those who love,
Time is eternity.
I have a beautiful, bit plaque of that on my wall.

Vert nice verse too--- Isn't it good to read this and remember even some of it?- Lynda
DeleteDonna here from Spark. Always a nice read!! Sounds like you will enjoy your brother's visit!!
ReplyDeleteHi Donna--- always good to read your comments-Lynda
DeleteLike your posting today on Time!
ReplyDeleteI miss some of the people from Spark but since I still have YOU, its all ok without Spark. So happy for your weight loss results!
So nice to look forward to seeing your brother. Lovely sounding lakes, cabins etc. close to you.
Enjoy your hair day, after mowing. Relax and be pampered a bit.. Hope Fred has a streak of good days.
Hugs
Yes, oh so nice that yu wrote-- I too miss Spark--mostly the peop[le--but--I enjoyed learning everything too--about food and exercise---but---- We still have each other--LOL-Lynda
DeleteYou've done great with the weight loss since Sparks! Glad it's a good day - weatherwise and on the home front! Enjoy your hair day.
ReplyDeleteBrenda--It really was a pretty good day-- I hope thatbyours was too-- Lynda
DeleteHow wonderful that you will get to see your brother soon. I always lifts one's spirits to see and visit with those we love, especially when it has been a while since you last saw him. Enjoy your time with him.
DeleteBeth M.
Sending love and hugs Lynda....strength too........we must all stand together and be strong together...I am proud of you.
ReplyDeleteI really miss Spark too. It was a great place to meet with friends. Blogger is nice and so is Facebook but it just doesn't have the closeness and goodies that Spark had.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting to have your brother come and visit!! Take lots of pictures. Something to look forward to.
