New Year Clean Up

We can begin the new year by developing a new world free of garbage.
This new plastic is biodegradable and safe and the old bags can be melted at home and reused.



If all plastic was made bio degradable, which we know can be done today,
we would not need to worry about our environment.
This includes replacement of all stero foam used for meat packaging.



A great project to promote as a New Year resolution.

I recently asked a friend, "Has your son decided what he wants to be when he grows up?"

"Yes, he wants to be a garbage collector," my friend replied.

I had to think about that one for a moment! "That's a rather strange ambition to have for a career." I finally managed to reply.

"Well," said the boy's father, "he thinks that garbage collectors only work on Tuesdays!"

Gaylord

This happy fellow, sitting beside a real live turtle, is named Gaylord.
He lives at the Gaylord Hotel, in Kissimmee, Florida, with many of his
brothers and sisters.
He couldn't have chosen a better place as the restaurants leftovers must be terrific!!
and I guess once in a while he must catch himself a man or two for desert. lol
These guys do not live in a cage but in a beautiful pond with turtles.
What luck, to be able to live in such a gorgeous place!
Worth a visit for sure. :)

I've never made a fortune, and it's probably too late now.
But I don't worry about that much, I'm happy anyhow
And as I go along life's way,
I'm reaping better than I sowed.
I'm drinking from my saucer,
'Cause my cup has overflowed.

Haven't got a lot of riches,
and sometimes the going's tough
But I've got loving ones all around me,
and that makes me rich enough.
I thank GOD for his Blessings,
and the Mercies HE's bestowed.
I'm drinking from my saucer,
'Cause my cup has overflowed..

I remember times when things went wrong,
My faith wore somewhat thin..
But all at once the dark clouds broke,
and the sun peeped through again.

So LORD, help me not to gripe,
about the tough rows I have hoed.
I'm drinking from my saucer,
'Cause my cup has overflowed.

If GOD gives me strength and courage,
When the way grows steep and rough.
I'll not ask for other blessings,
I'm already Blessed enough.

And may I never be too busy,
to help others bear their loads..
Then I'll keep drinking from my saucer,
'Cause my cup has overflowed.

When I think of how many people in this world have it worse
than I do, I realize just how BLESSED WE really are.

When I read this poem I can just hear Paul Reid's voice from CJAD Radio in Montreal.
He had this soft low crooning voice and he'd read stories and poems and he'd finish his show saying "This is Paul Reid....... and the night is ours."
I loved that man and wish I could find some parts of his show to put on line.
He is well worth remembering.
