Some things just stick in my mind.

"Without pleasure man would live like a fool and soon die." - Pierre de Beaumarchais

From Bucko’s blog(Thanks Ken).  http://buckoclown.blogspot.com/

That has been running around in my head. 

There are several blogs that use famous and infamous quotes.  Some use quotes that I have never read, and then there are some who are wise enough to come up with a statement that is so good, it will be quoted. I have a file called Logthegoodstuff. When I read something that strikes me I copy and paste it.  Such as:
… quote:

The problems we face today are there

because the people who work for a living

are outnumbered by those who vote for a

living.

(I pasted that one and did not see any name it was attributed to, but I like it.)

I guess that is why I like the  book of Proverbs in the Bible. The Proverbs are not only considered scripture, but are good logic and wisdom even for someone who does not accept it as the Word of God.
Someone told my mama that the Proverbs said, “Every pot must sit on its own bottom”. LOL. Well basically it is there, but not in those words.

From Ma’s blog sometime in the past (partial list)

EASY AND HARD

Letting go is easy……….. Hanging on is hard.

Pride is easy……………… Humility is hard.

Excusing oneself is easy…….. Excusing others is hard.

Borrowing is easy…… Paying back is hard.

Sex is easy….. Love is hard.

Naughty is easy……….. Nice is hard.

Going along is easy……… Walking alone is hard.

War is easy………………….. Peace is hard.

Sarcasm is easy……………. Sincerity is hard.

Growing weeds is easy…. Growing flowers is hard.

Can’t do is easy…………….. Can do is hard.

Feasting is easy………………. Fasting is hard.

Following is easy…………… Leading is hard.

Having friend is easy……. Being a friend is hard.

Dying is easy……….. Living is hard.

Mile by mile, life's a trial.
Yard by yard, life is hard.
But inch by inch, life's a cinch!

Everyone of us hit a low spot at times, and need a Word to get us out. There are times I may want the Bible, and other time just want an honest person’s support. Sherry is ALWAYS my support, but I do miss a man’s support at times, and she misses her sister’s support.

Fortunately down here in the winter we have Don & Evelyn.

For years Sonny was my ‘man’s shoulder’ to cry on, or sounding board.  You don’t get over that when it is gone. I had others, Jim, Dick, Dad & Howard. Reconnecting with Buddy and having Tuck, who are there, but not HERE. 

Sonny was always HERE, LOL! Sonny would say things like I listed above from MA’s blog. Short and to the point.

I didn’t mean to go on so long, but I wanted to ask, what is your favorite saying, proverb or thought that get’s you over the HUMP!??

Thanks for coming this way.
