THURSDAYS ENTRY # TWO THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED SEVENTY FIVE

" Time is so precious- do not waste it"
.
Good Morning.
.
How are you this Thursday morning ? I hope that you are up and ready to go to work. We are having a little warmer weather today, 27 degrees at 3 A.M. this morning. And I am glad I am ready to go outside and do a little real work. We did miss our Wednesday night Bible study last night because of slick roads, so I may be a little hard to get along with today, just want to warn you, Dad.

.
The House By the Side of the Road


Let me live in a house by the side of the road,
Where the race of men go by -
The men who are good and the men who are bad,
As good and as bad as I.
I would not sit in the scorner's seat,
Or hurl the cynic's ban;
Let me live in a house by the side of the road
And be a friend to man.

I see from my house by the side of the road,
By the side of the highway of life,
The men who press with the ardor of hope,
The men who are faint with the strife.
But I turn not away from their smiles nor their tears -
Both parts of an infinite plan;
Let me live in my house by the side of the road
And be a friend to man.

I know there are brook-gladdened meadows ahead
And mountains of wearisome height;
And the road passes on through the long afternoon
And stretches away to the night.
But still I rejoice when the travelers rejoice,
And weep with the strangers that moan,
Nor live in my house by the side of the road
Like a man who dwells alone.

Let me live in my house by the side of the road
Where the race of men go by -
They are good, they are bad, they are weak, they are strong,
Wise, foolish - so am I.
Then why should I sit in the scorner's seat
Or hurl the cynic's ban?
Let me live in my house by the side of the road
And be a friend to man.

WEDNESDAY'S ENTRY TWO THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED SEVENTY FOUR

" Time is so precious_ do not waste any of it"
.
Good Morning
.
How are things at your house this morning? Every thing was fine here until I looked at the temperature at 3 a.m. it was 13 degrees, now that is cold. I am trying to produce Smiles and Tomatoes and what can I do in this kind of weather, maybe this poem by Edgar and a few things that I have down below might help. But I am running a little late and all mixed up, I don't know if I have what I want on this journal this morning, DAD

The Cheat
.
By Edgar Guest
.
I cheated a good friend yesterday,
Kept what was his, and went my way,
Wronged him by silence-for in haste
I let a glad thought go to waste.
I had a word of cheer to speak,
To strengthen him when he grew weak,
To send him smiling on his way -
But what I thought I didn't say.
He would have richer been to know
That deed of his had pleased me so,
But oh, I failed to let him see
ow much his conquest meant to me.
I cheated him of words of praise
Which would have cheered his troubled days;
In this a faithful friend I wronged,
By keeping what to him belonged.
The praise was his by right to hear,
To him belonged my word of cheer;
In silence, though, from him I turned
And cheated him of what he'd earned.

It is a cold Tuesday morning, 14 at 3 a.m. but I am in a happy mood anyway, feeling real good after a good nights rest, and I think that if every one will be nice to me today I can make it, but rest assured that I will not be outside very much but right here at this keyboard.

WEDNESDAYS ENTRY # TWO THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED FOURTY ONE

Good Morning.
.
I am wondering about you this wednesday morning, are you feeling good, and is your mood HAPPY, well I am happy and ready for another clean sheet, I hope that I can use it right.
.
I am going to check on my 3 friends at Sara's Dog Training blog right now, I want to know how things are going with them, I especially want to know how that sweet girl Misty is feeling. Sara tell her that Dad loves her.
..
The weather is sill very cold, we have an 18 low, so today is another poem reading day, and we can't find any better ones than these below by Edgar Guest.
...


The Joys We Miss.
.
Edgar Guest
..
There never comes a lonely day but that we miss the laughing ways
Of those who used to walk with us through all our happy yesterdays.
We seldom miss the earthly great--the famous men that life has known--
But, as the years go racing by, we miss the friends we used to own.
The chair wherein he used to sit recalls the kindly father true
For, Oh, so filled with fun he was, and, Oh, so very much he knew!
And as we face the problems grave with which the years of life are filled.
We miss the hand which guided us and miss the voice forever stilled.
We little guessed how much he did to smooth our pathway day by day,
How much of joy he brought to us, how much of care he brushed away;
But now that we must tread alone the thorough-fare of life, we find
How many burdens we were spared by him who was so brave and kind.
Death robs the living, not the dead--they sweetly sleep whose tasks are done;
But we are weaker than before who still must live and labor on.
For when come care and grief to us, and heavy burdens bring us woe,
We miss the smiling, helpful friends on whom we leaned long years ago.
We miss the happy, tender ways of those who brought us mirth and cheer;
We never gather round the hearth but that we wish our friends were near;
For peace is born of simple things--a kindly word, a goodnight kiss,
The prattle of a babe, and love--these are the vanished joys we miss.
.

It Couldn't Be Done.
...
Edgar Guest
...
Somebody said that it couldn't be done,
But he with a chuckle replied
That "maybe it couldn't," but he would be one
Who wouldn't say so till he'd tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it.
Somebody scoffed: "Oh, you'll never do that;
At least no one ever has done it";
But he took off his coat and he took off his hat,
And the first thing we knew he'd begun it.
With a lift of his chin and a bit of a grin,
Without any doubting or quiddit,
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it.
There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done,
There are thousands to prophesy failure;
There are thousands to point out to you, one by one,
The dangers that wait to assail you.
But just buckle in with a bit of a grin,
Just take off your coat and go to it;
Just start to sing as you tackle the thing
That "cannot be done," and you'll do it.
..
