How strong you stand is what makes you.

            Good Morning--To-day is Thursday, September  24th. It is very dark outside--sorta cold also--and kinda cold  even in my tiny house. I have the wee furnace on, which is shooting out  heat,  as I type.--Lopez and I are up--  also Sushi--who is still upstairs, snuggled in the big bed..I must run her food up to her---- The washer is done, and I hear the dryer  doing its job--another morning has begun!---

                            Words I wish I had written--

#1.If you live in the river, make friends with the crocodile.

#2.Be cheerful even if you don't feel like it.

#3.Be good and you'll be happy.

#4.Stay faithful to yourself

Well, enough pictures--time to get on with the day--'I hope that

your day is good-- An hour wasted can never be regained--

Remember, one cannot feel happiness all of the time--Thank your children's teachers--and love those children to the moon and back--Pets need to be talked to-- given big hugs, and need all your patience--Be original, even eccentric--Oh-------and-----------

BIG HUGS TO YOU ALL!
