Time Moves ...

The end of the affair.
And so it goes.
Time moves ahead.

And things feel new again.
Time moves on.
Another chance.

To make some sense.
Human sense, we hope.
Time bids us journey.

All along the way.
Brief for some.
Long for others.

Hard it can be.
Tears it demands, at times.
Laughter it brings.

The end of 2017.
A year of surprises.
Politically, ugly.

Personally terrific.
A move to a new home.
A new town.

Time moves, quicker these days.
2018.
Can it bring some political relief?

Basic Advice for the day!

Be of good cheer; watch your tongue; be alert to one another; pay attention to your soul; don't worry about how you pray, just pray as you can; read your Bible a little bit every day, or most every day (just five minutes: no more or no less - and it'll add up); count your blessings; give at least three compliments a day; stop now and then and say, "I'm really glad to be here!" ... savor your food; stop, look and listen; don't be nosey; trust the people around you - they're doing their best, and let them know you appreciate their labor; don't be in a hurry all the time; look at yourself in the mirror and pull a few faces and have a good laugh at yourself; eat a good breakfast; and remind yourself to trust God a little bit more every day!
