Finding Direction: The Wind Vane Chronicles

I was going to post some photos today and/or start my new series, “Story Tellers,” but cannot figure out how to work in Adobe Photoshop this morning to do what I need to do.  I shall have to wait on my own personal Photoshop guru, Mr. Andrews, who unfortunately, has to work, which we understand to be the new “retirement” program for older Americans.

Thus, the photos/stories will have to wait and thus I am quite aggravated!

So . . . here are some words of wisdom by various authors (some anonymous and/or unknown), instead, to keep us focused on the lighter side of life.  I thank God for my sense of humor as much as any other gift He has given me – don’t you?!  Humor serves to relieve tension, ease disagreements and give us better health.

Enjoy!

WORDS OF WISDOM

1) “When I die, I want to die like my grandfather-who died peacefully in his sleep. Not screaming like all the passengers in his car.”
–Author Unknown

2) Advice for the day: If you have a lot of tension and you get a headache, do what it says on the aspirin bottle:  “Take two aspirin” and “Keep away from children.”

5) “If a woman has to choose between catching a fly ball and saving an infant’s life, she will choose to save the infant’s life without even considering if there is a man on base.”
–Dave Barry

6) “Relationships are hard. It’s like a full time job, and we should treat it like one. If your boyfriend or girlfriend wants to leave you, they should give you two weeks’ notice.  There should be severance pay, the day before they leave you, they should have to find you a temp.”
–Bob Ettinger

–A. Whitney Brown

18) “You can say any foolish thing to a dog, and the dog will give you a look that says, ‘My God, you’re right!  I never would’ve thought of that!’”
–Dave Barry

19) Do you know why they call it “PMS”? Because “Mad Cow Disease” was taken.
–Unknown, presumed deceased

If you don’t have a sense of humor, you probably don’t have any sense
at all.

There are three kinds of men: The ones who learn by reading and the few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.
—Will Rogers

Cheers & many blessings to each of you today!  If I can get the needed “training” in Adobe Photoshop, I’ll be back next time with some neat pictures and stories.  Dee
