Thought of the day

[gmarkj]

As part of the #o2surprise that I received last week, there was a jar of smiles. Many were keen to see what would come out of the jar each day, so here are the ones so far!

The one that I picked out on Friday was "If you want to see the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain".

This morning I picked out "Relax and reflect. A bad day doesn't mean it's a bad life".

Yes, as I found out to my sorrow...a damn great wooden newel post.

Stopped me in my tracks with excruciating pain. 

My Mum had no sympathy at all. 'Serves you right you stupid girl' were her words! 😂

Yes, that word-processing one definitely applies - gone are the long, rolling script with true descenders and ascenders these days, but alas the arrival of word-processors long post-dates the problem...

'Politics is the art of trampling opposition into the dust and convincing them they like it there.

A lot of what's said is unspoken.

Librarians, long may their candles burn. Booksellers, too, keep the barbarians at bay'.

The person on the other side was a young woman. Very obviously a young woman. There was no possible way that she could have been mistaken for a young man in any language, especially Braille.
