MORE GLEANINGS....

In past years I've shared some of my "gleanings," those phrases and ideas and concepts that struck me as noteworthy and might appeal to others folks also.

Today, just past the middle of February, I'm in the crowd that's agitating for Spring! I do know that it'll come when it comes. But, really--isn't it nice to have something to cheer for?

I'm not a fan of any sport, though in my day I've held down the bleachers for my kids' events. But I do sense a need to have something to get excited about. (This may just be a fancy way of describing Hope, one of my favorite things.)

So today's gleanings are on the light side. You know, if you have a case of the grumps that you can't get rid of, somebody else's wit or humor might just shift your attitude a few millimeters.

Did you get a chuckle or two? Or maybe a little smile tugging at the corners of your mouth? Well, good! You're on your way to having a good day. Oh, you got a growl? All right! Go with that. And have a better day because you got it out of you early on.

Until next time, have a blessed week.
