Life may not be the party we hoped for but since we're here we might as well dance

Thanks moggssue, I will, and I know you're enjoying these Gentle Thoughts, because anyone who has 'Life may not be the party we hoped for but since we're here we might as well dance' under their posts, not only gets my attention, but makes me do it too, thank you!
Today's Gentle Thought from the book my Dad gave me says:
Joy is the holy fire that keeps our purpose warm and our intelligence aglow.
(Helen Keller)
Personally, I find joy very warming from within, and I'm not prone to saying stuff like that very often, but the older I get, definitely the more joy I'm getting..... and it feels so very lovely.......Comment

Darlng, you do know how much 'thought' these give us all...?
And 'joy is a holy power'... I like that!Comment

They're certainly making me think.... I'm thinking: "Have I posted that one up yet? Ooh, I'm not sure! Don't want to post the same one up twice, or they might notice.....!"
And I've just checked - this one's a goody:
When we are flat on our backs there is no way to look but up.

That sounds like a pretty version of 'We might be lying in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.' A favourite sentiment, however expressed.Whoever plants a garden believes in the future.

So....
The tree which needs two arms to span its girth sprang from the tiniest shoot.
Yon tower, nine stories high, rose from a little mound of earth.
A journey of a thousand miles began with a single step.

I was a twinkle in my Daddy's eye once. Thank goodness for that....!Comment

Gentle Thought for The Weekend....
The good neighbour looks beyond the external accidents and discerns those inner qualities that make all men human and, therefore, brothers.

And Today.....
When you cease to make a contribution you begin to die.

OOoooo... maybe a bit severe, but I guess an element of truth...Shortie

This one made me laugh.
He was a tubby little chap who looked as if he had been poured into his clothes and had forgotten to say "when!"

I've recently read a potted biog of Mrs R, and this is EXACTLY the sort of thing she'd say - a very formidable woman!Originally posted by wellie View Post
Not a very gentle thought but a thought provoking one, nonetheless.

Might be a bit severe, but it certainly catches your attention and gives you pause for thought!Life may not be the party we hoped for but since we're here we might as well danceComment

Bubblewrap, that's gorgeously priceless!
And I was very tempted to quote this particular one on the birthday of NTG, but didn't in the end....
Grief can take care of itself, but to get the full value of a joy you must have somebody to divide it with.
(Mark Twain)
- which, personally, I agree with in bucketfulls....!Comment

How about one for this season of frantic gift-buying?
"A hug is the perfect gift - one size fits all and it is easily exchanged."
Don't know who said it but I am happy to repeat it!Whoever plants a garden believes in the future.
