Slowly...... Getting Back Into The Swing

Sorry for no posts. Apparently I am still on vacation. Mental vacation at least. I'll be back as soon as I unpack my bags and gather my thoughts together.

It must be the stars. I've been walking around in a daze all week!

Ah, I know the feeling. It is difficult at times to re-adjust again to the every day life.;))
As they say "No man/woman needs a vacation more than the one who just had one."
Hehe, so true.;))

I have missed you and I am happy you are back in place. As long as I know you are okay and had a great time. There's just too much going on in the world and it makes me dizzy.

I felt the same way last week after having been away three weeks! It takes time to get back to the old routine.

I'm glad you stopped by and I look forward to your comments. As Dr. Fraser Crane would say, "Hello, I'm listening."

...."We were Birds Without Wings. You were a robin and I was a blackbird. And there were some who were eagles or vultures or pretty gold finches, but none of us had wings. For birds with wings nothing changes. They fly where they will and they know nothing about borders and their quarrels are very small. But we are always confined to earth, no matter how much we climb to the high places and flap our arms. Because we cannot fly we are condemned to do things that do not agree with us. Because we have no wings we are pushed into struggles and abominations that we did not seek and then after all that, the years go by. The mountains are leveled. The valleys rise. The rivers are blocked by sand and the cliffs fall into the sea." -Louis De Berniere

Who Said It First?

The phrase "little birdie told me so" may find it's origins in this Bible verse. "Do not revile the king even in your thoughts, or curse the rich in your bedroom, because a bird of the air may carry your words, and a bird on the wing may report what you say" (Ecclesiastes 10:20). The earliest form of the saying was included in John Heywood's collection of proverbs (1546). In 1583, Brian Melbancke wrote in 'Philotimus'" 'I had a little bird, that brought me newes of it.' In 1711, in 'Letter to Stella,' Jonathan Swift came close to the current version: 'I heard a little bird say so.'
