One more Sunday

The blog my friends is a way to waste a morning hour or so just trying to think of what I think you all would like to read. I have gotten a new dog and now she is just turning into a really nice little dog. The dog is a Corgi and her name is Ruth which is my mother's name and just having her gives me inspiration so much so that I woke this morning and broke out the paint and my brushes to try and finish my painting that I would love to show you but don't know how to put a picture on a blog so I will pass and you will have to see it at the LIYF Network.

It is so funny how life is and works for my mind was mush without the dog and I have no problem putting my thoughts on paper but I have a hell of a time putting it on the computer. I sure wish my scanner knew how to read my nasty hand writing and turn it into typed characters. That isn't a real easy job but one day I am going to have to let you see all the writings I have. The pile is at least 2 inches high now and growing.

I have been writing one book and now one afternoon I woke from a nap and my life and the crazy things that have happened to me I decided to mix it into a detective or mystery story and the words just seem to flow out of my fingers. I do believe that I will have another great book for all of you to read once my autobiography is on the shelves.

When I began writing my biography last year in April who would think a year of writing would take 6 months for the editor to begin my journey into a nightmare that will probably take another year for me to have my first draft and then when I do the re-write and the book is complete the world of editing will begin all over again but in the mean time I have to go on living and enjoying every second I can. I love life and every little bundle or package that is waiting for me to open into an incredible adventure.that will be living in Florida.

Well my dear and wonderful readers I will have to say good day for this Sunday but remember I am trying always to think and look for words of wisdom for your interest. I am going to end this blog with an incredible piece of writing I had a look at last night. I pray you enjoy it as much as I did.

The Sleep of the just

"Do but consider what an excellent thing sleep is: It is so inestimable a jewel that, if a tyrant would give his ccrown for an hour's slumber, it cannot be brought: Of so beautiful a shape is it, that though a man lie with an empress, his heart cannot beat quiet till he leave her embracements to be at rest with the other: Yea so greatly indebted are we to this kinsmen of death that we owe the better tributary, half of our life to him: And there is good cause why we should do so: For sleep is the golden chain that ties health and our bodies together: Who complains of want? of wounds: of cares? of great men's oppressions? of captivity? Whilst he sleepeth? Beggars in their beds take as much pleasure as kings: Can we therefore surfeit on this delicate ambrosia?
