Howdy Friends ~~ Here we are again. The shopping is all
put awayand so the cupboards are all stocked up again. I

things
I bought a nice card to send to my cousin who is very ill with
cancer and I liked the words on it, and hope Kath will also.
It has a heading of “ You are never alone.”
<><><><><>
There’s a wonderful peace in just knowing
that God never leaves us alone,
And whether we feel He is with us or not,
He loves us and calls us His own.
His Word is our hope and our comfort,
A refuge when life brings our way
Those times we need wisdom and guidance
And strength to sustain us each day.

<> A Short Fun Poem. called Order of the Day <>
“Rise ! ” says my brain to my body.
“To greet this splendid day !
Fling back the quilt with abandon,
Forthwith, without delay !”
<><><>
“Bound out of bed with vigour !”
My brain is quick to decree ……
While my body burrows down deeper,
And sleepily asks, “Who, ME ???”
<><><><>
<><><> And Some funnies. <><><>
A cardiologist died and was given an elaborate funeral.
A huge heart covered with flowers stood behind the
casket during the service. Following the eulogy, the
heart opened, and the casket rolled inside, sealing the
doctor in the beautiful heart forever.
<><><>
At that point, one of the mourners burst into laughter.
When all eyes stared at him, he said, “I’m sorry, I was
just thinking of my own funeral… I’m a gynecologist.”
At that point, the proctologist fainted.

<><><> Exercise for Seniors <><><>
Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you
have plenty of room at each side.
With a 5 kg (10lb) potato sack in each hand, extend your
arms straight out from your sides and hold them there
as long as you can. Try to hold for a full minute, then
relax. Each day, you’ll find that you can hold this position
for just a bit longer.
<><><><>
After a couple of weeks, move up to a 10 kg (20lb) sack.
Then 50 kg (100 lb) potato sacks and eventually try to lift
a 100 kg (200lb).
Put a potato sack in each hand and hold your arms straight
for more than a full minute.
<><><><>
After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each
of the sacks; … but be careful.
<><><><><><>
<><><> Some Thoughts <><><>
The best way to cheer yourself is to try to cheer somebody
else up. – Mark Twain.
<><><>
Those who are generous are blessed for they share their
bread with the poor. – Proverbs 22:9
<><><>
Open your eyes to nature’s many beauties, and your heart
will open to life’s many joys and possibilities.
<><><>
A happy home and family is the source of the greatest
human happiness.
<><><> Bye for now. Take care of each other, Merle. <><><>

Sorry to hear about your cousin suffering from cancer. Participating in the Relay for Life makes me realize just how much cancer truly touches almost every family somehow...

Very beautiful card Merle, take care :o)
Hi Aunty Merle. I loved this post. I forget something every time I go to the shops! The words of the card were beautiful. I think it's easier to "throw the quilt off with abandon", when you're on holidays. the joke was great too.
Hi Merle.
I'll keep your cousin in my thoughts and prayers.
I may steal your potato sack joke. All of my friends ahead of me in the comments can pretend they haven't seen it (or just laugh again).
Hi Merle,
Love the funeral joke, & the husband store :) & most everything in between!
Also, prayers for your friend Kathy, too.
