    I love this message, Annette, because I think it’s the right mindset. So many focus on what they want instead of what they have.

    As I age – too quickly – I find contentment in what I have and appreciation, which has lead to a more peaceful, happy life. May you all find the same! Peace and Love.

    Hola Annette, I have just listened to your ‘mellifluous’ voice for the first time, and what an apt word…I dislike my own: London/Essex voice (UK citizen retired in Spain) and – something quite strange has happened. I have a new site and the powers that be…have changed the headings, which now read – Joy Lennick WordPress, GMail, Annette Rochelle A…and Joy Lennick Writing. However did that happen? Not that I’m averse to having your name there, but still very odd. As I’m impetuous an d have just written a new, hopefully amusing, poem – here it is…
    A Nose
    How handy a nose is:
    a most worthy proboscis…
    that sits neatly in centre of face,
    Pert, snub, Roman or aquiline:
    his, hers, yours or mine –
    they complete our expressions with grace.

    They have many uses –
    can sniff out some ruses;
    detect dangerous gases and trouble.
    But, when they’re on form,
    and conditions are norm,
    they can look down at us all,
    with disdain.

    I know it’s absurd
    but the thought has occurred,
    suppose noses were placed upside down?
    Without an umbrella –
    a rain squall – dilemma…
    for we all, for sure, would be drowned!!

    Cheers!
    Joy xx

    Thank you, Annette Rochelle Aben. I appreciate your kind comment on Lind’s Writing Practice.

    I like your blog, and your avideo about being blessed really touched me. At present, I am living through a quite challenging time–especially because of health concerns.

    Your words align with Psalm 121(KJV–slightly modified)

    1.”I will lift my eyes unto the hills from whence cometh my help. 2. My help cometh from the Lord, who made Heaven and Earth. 3. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: He that keepth thee will not slumber. 4.Behold, He that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. 5.The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. 6. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. 7, The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: He shall preserve thy soul. 8. shall preserve thee from all evii; He shall preserve thy soul. 8.The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth and even for evermore.

    For many years, I repeated this scripture when I drove 25 miles through busy traffic to teach at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. ( I lived in Lee’s Summit, then–a large KC suburb.) Your gratitude post inspired me to start repeating this every morning,. Sans the 25-mile-drive, I still need it as much.
