Such a long time.
God I never realized I was away for so long. Sickness can do a lot to a person but hopefully now that I have recovered somewhat I will be here on a frequent basis.
I must apologize to all those wonderful people who made comments etc for not answering you.I hope to be able to do so very soon.
My sincere thanks to all who left comments and emails.
God bless you all.

Irish Blessing
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields.

May God be with you and bless you:
May you see your children’s children.
May you be poor in misfortune,
Rich in blessings.
May you know nothing but happiness
From this day forward.
May the ro…
"Daffodils" (1804)

And twinkle on the Milky Way,They stretch’d in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:Ten thousand saw I at…

MEETING SISTER CANCER
The word cancer instills fear into most people. They just do not want to hear about it. It is a bad word in the English language. And at the same time, we are told that one in three of us are likely to get cancer. So why the awful fear? I suppose it has something to do with death and dying. And this is not surprising. As a comedian once said, “I don’t mind dying, 1 just don’t wa…

Usually I enjoy the cartoons as they can be very
clever and incisive.
But this one is neither clever nor incisive.
In particular, I refer to the

the Virgin Mary , and her hangers-on”.
