FRIDAY REFLECTIONS by Edward Wilson
A happy life
is not built up
of tours abroad
and pleasant holidays,
but of little clumps
of violets,
noticed by the roadside;
in one long, continuous
chain of joys,
little whispers from the
spiritual world,
and little gleams
of sunshine
on our daily walk.
Travel, genealogy, poetry, my cats, watching Red Sox Baseball and Patriots Football, taking pictures, spending time with family, playing on the computer!

DEATH IS NOTHING AT ALL
Death is nothing at all,
I have only slipped away
into the next room.
I am I,
and you are you;
whatever we were to each other,
that, we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name,
speak to me in the easy way
which you always used,
put no difference in your tone,
wear no forced air
of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed
at the little jokes we shared together.
Let my name ever be
the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effect,
without the trace of a shadow on it.
Life means all
that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was.
There is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind
because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you,
for an interval,
somewhere very near,
just around the corner.
All is well.
Henry Scott Holland 1847-1918

Our hero, we will always love you
I grew up just north of Boston and now live in a small rural town in southern NH. It's a great spot, a short drive from the city, the ocean, and the mountains. I'm a registered nurse, working in a Continuing Care Community for the elderly. I am married and have three grown children. My parents live 30 minutes away and I spend as much time with them as I can. Family is very important to me. Scroll down to see more.

IRISH BLESSING
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.
We have been unable to wind down since we got home from the 'city' and have been unable to sleep! I tried and could do it and Papa is on his third try; we'll see how it for him. His legs are bothering, like mine do, when I walk too much. We feel like we walked all the way around our small community a half dozen times! All together we have about 4 hours of walking time in....on concrete. The we put an arbor together after we got home!
Take care and we hope you have a very good and relaxing day!
Yes, it's Monday....the beginning of a brand new week. We wonder what will happen this week! No doubt more of the same. Papa already has work lined up so he'll be busy. Wednesday we get to go out of town, to my dentist, but that means shopping! Whoo-Hooo!! Then more yard work for me...
We hope you have a wonderful day and week planned. Take care and enjoy the day!
It's going to be a very quiet Sunday here. Papa hurt his bad shoulder yesterday and needs to rest. He was digging post holes and that's one of the worst things one can do to shoulders.
Another cool morning here! At 10:07 A.M. is still just 69 degrees. I hope it stays like it's been all week so I can get out back and pull more vines off the fence.
Papa allen got all the tomato and pepper plants pulled up last night. He still needs to weed eat and till. Terry is supposed to come by and pick up the green tomatoes to pickle.
