Thankful one, these mailboxes should keep the mail carrier amused! The ususal boxes are pretty dull by comparison!

Joe, thank you, For those who take life too seriously, many things that are true. I would like to add one to it. I will call it: #55.

55. Feel good, remember as a child what you liked to do, and DO IT AGAIN, even if it has been many years since you enjoyed those things. Refresh, and let the child within you, that is still there out. As a child I loved to color, jump rope, play hopscotch, play jacks, play kick the can and hide and seek.

And most of all I loved to swing at the lake where I spent my summers for 15 years, which later I moved to. As a child, I loved to swing for hours with the beautiful lake in front of me, and the scenery of the boats and people swimming. From sun up to sundown. There is nothing like the wind in your hair and the summer air and the birds singing. This past summer, my highlight was not going to all the carnivals and summer festivals and my vacation to Florida, which all were great, but the time I went to the park and went on the swing, with my daughter who ran off quickly to the monkey bars. I stayed on the swing for quite a while. How good it felt, reviving a small part of the child I once was.

You do not have to have children with you, to feel like a child again and enjoy the things you once liked to do. Pick up a comic book, color a picture and stay in the lines, play hide and seek with the dog or cat, (or partner, spouse), marbles, get a yo-yo, jacks are simple but fun. You may enjoy it. Maturity will always be there, finding happiness in something you have't done in 20, 30, or 40, or however many years is great! It has been at least 30 something years since I have played jumprope. I have been seen jumping in my driveway, so not caring what the neighbors think. Fun! Fun!
The hula hoop was never me but we have one in the house. Well, maybe I could try. LOL

Be a child again even if it is just for a short time. Think about it. You may still enjoy some of those things!

Thanks Joe, I did not mean to ramble, but taking life to seriously just brought this to print. LOL

Marie, I do so agree that we should never stop being that child within.
If I jumped in my drive I doubt if anyone would notice!! British people pretend strange things aren't happening.

We do have a swing in the garden, so................

Love Jude

The peacemaking meeting scheduled for today has been cancelled due to a conflict.
Remember in prayer the many who are sick of our community. Smile at someone who is hard to love. Say "Hell" to someone who doesn't care much about you.
Don't let worry kill you off - let the Church help.
