Happy Easter Christmas!

I'm working on this poem.  It needs a little polishing. The thought of Easter was on my mind much of yesterday afternoon when a song I heard on my iPod triggered my thinking.

Easter Christmas
by Linda Sargent
It's Christmas and some  say live in the moment
But my mind must jump to the spring
For although it's December, I have to remember
That Easter is what makes me sing
See, Christmas is a wonderful time
But it means so much more to my heart
To know that His rising means I'm realizing
That Christmas was just the start
So at Christmas time I remember this truth
That Christ came to set me free
That babe in the manger is no little stranger
He's the one who died for me

Faith and Begorrah, Happy St. Patrick's Day

Personalize funny videos and birthday eCards at JibJab! Some Irish Blessings for you: May the frost never afflict your spuds. May the leaves of your cabbage always be free from worms. May the crows never pick your haystack. If you inherit a donkey, may she be in foal. --- May the rains sweep gentle across your fields, May the sun warm the land, May every good seed you have planted bear fruit, And late summer find you standing in fields of plenty. --- May there always be work for your hands to do. May your purse always hold a coin or two. May the sun always shine on your windowpane. May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain. May the hand of a friend always be near you. May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you. --- Wishing you always... Walls for the wind, A roof for the rain And tea beside the fire. Laughter to cheer you, Those you love near you, And all that your heart may desire --- May the smile of God light you to glory. You can find these and more at: Island Ireland

A Good Week for Geezers

The 75 year old Joan Rivers was crowned the new Celebrity Apprentice on Sunday. On The Biggest Loser show, Helen (who was constantly bemoaning her age vs. the younger people she was competing with) won the whole enchilada. She had lost a total of 140 pounds. And Jerry, who is 64 years old, won the $100K prize for losing almost 48 percent of his body weight. Even the Aussie who was on the show from Australia's Biggest Loser was 57 (my age incidentally). Does this give me hope or add pressure? I'm not so sure. But I'm just happy to know that it's not all about the twenty or thirty somethings.
