While I have forgotten all kinds of things in my life, I have maintained an amazing capacity for remembering jokes. As a kid I was a Cub Scout. One of the perks of being a Cub was that every month I got a copy of Boy’s Life magazine. All that I can remember about the Boy’s Life magazine was that on the last page they had lots of jokes.
One joke I still remember was about two old ladies who went out to their car and discovered it had a flat tire. One of the women turned to the other and said, “Well, luckily it is only flat on the bottom”.
In my New Year’s attempt to be optimistic, I thought of that joke this morning when I saw the ice on all of our paths; “At least it is only icy in the places that we use.”

I like the path though...looks like interesting territory.
ReplyDeleteTake the path less trodden on. Might be good for the new year. You've started already ,with a turn to optimism. It is hard on an optimist to be around a pessimist, we always see the good and try to explain to them the bright side, but they seem to not want to hear that side. Wears on a person.
ReplyDeleteI also want to say, I was very taken with how you are dealing with the loss of a digit. Good on you.
ReplyDeleteI know I don't matter a hill of beans in your life , but, I like to encourage people .
