Joe: “I visited my childhood home, knocked on the door, and asked if I could look around.”
Pete: “Did they let you look around?”
Joe: “After a brief negotiation, my parents let me in.”
Your Songs
Gwendolyn Bennett
When first you sang a song to me
With laughter shining from your eyes,
You trolled your music liltingly
With cadences of glad surprise.
In after years I heard you croon
In measures delicately slow
Of trees turned silver by the moon
And nocturnes sprites and lovers know.
And now I cannot hear you sing,
But love still holds your melody
For silence is a sounding thing
To one who listens hungrily.
“Just because something is hard doesn’t mean it’s impossible.”
Sugary drinks, candy, and pastries put too much fuel (sugar) into your blood too quickly. The ensuing crash leaves you tired and hungry again. “Complex carbs,” healthy fats, and protein take longer to digest, satisfy your hunger, and provide a slow, steady stream of energy.
Joe: “I have an uncle who can predict when you’re going to die.”
Pete: “How does he do that?”
Joe: “He’s a hit man.”
“When you think you’re exhausted, when you think you’re fried, when you think you’ve done all you can, you can always find a little more in you. You are always capable of more than you think. The key is to take a step back, in those moments when you want to quit, and regain control of your mind. Find a little perspective. Remember the reasons you started whatever task or journey you are on. Think about how you will feel — not just about the relief of the moment, but later — if you give up. Because that’s when you’ll achieve the success you want. ” ~ BY Jefe Haden, Contributing Editor.
Note: When you are tired and feel like quitting, dig deep, dig deeper than you’ve ever dug and give it your all for the next second, and then the next second. You’ll be surprised how much further you can go than you previously believed.Your best is yet to come, you’re only scratching the surface.
We have been together
Four Aprils now
Watching for the green
On the swaying willow bough;
Yet whenever I turn
To your gray eyes over me,
It is as though I looked
For the first time at the sea.
