you feel overwhelmed and powerless.
But when you get involved, you feel
the sense of hope and accomplishment
that comes from knowing you are
working to make things better.”
Friends, It's the simple things in life that bring us the most pleasure. Those everyday things that put a smile on our face and create the memories that we hold in our hearts...... Suzy

~ On the lighter side ~
One day my mother was out and my dad was looking after me.
I was maybe 2 1/2 years old and had just recovered from a bad cold. Someone had given me a little tea set as a get-well gift and it was one of my favorite toys.
Dad was in the living room engrossed in the evening news when I brought Daddy a little cup of "tea," which was just water. After several cups of tea and lots of praise for such good tea, my mom came home.
Dad made her wait in the living room to watch me bring him a cup of tea. ("It's just the cutest thing!") My mom waited and sure enough, I came down the hall with a cup of tea for Daddy. She watched him drink it, then said (as only a mother would)..."Did it ever occur to you that the only place she can reach to get water is from the toilet?"
