Lesson from Sunflowers

I’ve always enjoyed watching sunflowers at different times of the day. It’s interesting how they move, toward the sun when it’s bright and inward when it’s not. Until reading this Thursday Thought quote, though, I didn’t understand that they were teaching us something.

How to Avoid the Virus (Mask or Maskless)

Experts in following people infected by Covid 19 through contact tracing have determined which places we’re most likely to catch the virus. If you want to be cautious, avoid the seven places listed below. For an explanation of each and why they’re so bad about spreading the virus, read the HuffPost article The 7 Most Common Places COVID-19 Is Spreading Right Now.

Here are those places: Your house, social gatherings, restaurants and bars, gyms and fitness studios, religious services, certain workplaces, and stores and shops.

Please be careful out there.

End-of-Year Feelings

GOODBYE, 2020!!!

WELCOME, 2021!!!

This Year On A Mathematics Quiz

A friend sent me this morning, and I thought it sums up this past year beautifully.

If 2020 was a math word-problem: If you’re going down a river at 2 MPH and your canoe loses a wheel, how much pancake mix would you need to re-shingle your roof?

Some Post-Christmas Humor

I’m sorry, but this Santa cartoon tickled my funny bone.

Mixed Christmas Quote

Today’s Thursday Thought is only a semi-serious quote:

“Three phrases that sum up Christmas are: Peace on Earth, Goodwill to Men, and Batteries not Included.” Author Unknown

Christmas Puns

In keeping with my promised (threatened?) week of silliness, here are some Christmas bad (there are good ones?) puns:

  • Where do Santa’s reindeer stop for coffee? Star-bucks!
  • What’s every elf’s favorite type of music? Wrap!
  • What’s the absolute best Christmas present? A broken drum — you can’t beat it!
  • What happens if you eat Christmas decorations? You get tinsel-it is.
  • What do Santa’s elves learn in school? The elf-abet.
  • What do you call an obnoxious reindeer? Rude-olph.
  • What do grapes sing at Christmas? ‘Tis the season to be jelly.
  • What’s the difference between the Christmas alphabet and the ordinary alphabet? The Christmas alphabet has noel.
  • What did the gingerbread man put on his bed? A cookie sheet!
  • What do snowmen eat for breakfast? Ice Crispies.

A Catty Christmas

I decided to keep things on the light side this week. And stay in a child-like spirit of silliness. Today’s offering is for all those readers who have a cat as part of their family.

This Year’s Christmas Tree

You have to admit that it reflects our experiences this past year. Yes, those are masks, gloves, toilet paper, and who-knows-what that were put on by the Boston health workers.

A Practical Blessing

Today’s Thursday Thought struck me as not just a blessing but a very practical one. If we have all three elements, our lives can be productive and fulfilling.
