To be ungrateful is sinful. It is a failure to repay a moral debt. There are degrees of ungratefulness. The first degree is to neglect to return a favor. The second degree is to take no notice of the favor. The lowest degree in ingratitude is to fail even to admit to one's self that a favor has been given. We are all familiar with ungrateful people--people who accept favors as if they were theirs by right, people who never thank anyone for favors, and people who never return a favor. … [Read more...]

Coffee For All!!!
By · 23 Comments
Most of you know that I am a lover of tea. But I also love my coffee. Funny how that habit never formed until I was in my 40's....but form it did and I am always up for the occasional cup. My morning usually starts with a cup in bed while I check my emails, comments and Facebook. Probably not the best idea to have a white duvet on the bed but I do and so far it has survived with only a couple little tan spots appearing on it over time. I am the most careful of coffee drinkers, I … [Read more...]

It Twas the Spring of my Discontent
By · 39 Comments
My apologies to Shakespeare but it is in actuality the spring of my discontent. I usually am a roll with the punches, go with the flow, live in the moment kind of gal. But this spring has left me discontent. It has made me whine and I don't like it when I whine. Nobody else does either. April should be a month of rain, yes, but lovely refreshing rain and tender green plants shooting up from the ground. Instead April has been unpredictable and cold. The birds are confused. They don't know … [Read more...]

I’m A People Person!
Recently a blogger friend, Karen, posted a Personality Test result on her blog over on one of her blogs. I first found Karen at Grab a Book From Our Stack where she and her husband read and review quite a number of books.

I don't visit there as often as I used to but I still enjoy reading what they post every now and then! On this particular day when I surfed over there … [Read more...]
