31 December - Poem

[Greenthorn]

Tonight is not a corner on the road,

Nor a mystic sign that says "Reload"

For life, and all that's in it,

Is right now, this very minute. ❤️

[sassy59]

Beautifully put David and so true. Happy new year to you. Xxx❤️💜❤️

[Katinka46]

Yes! Spot on.

Elderly lady in our congregation preached on this:

“The past is history,

The future is a mystery,

The here and now is a gift which is why it is called the present.”

I like that Kate. I hope and pray you are in a good place and better health is on the horizon. Let January pass and let's look forward to Springtime. ❤️

Such cleaver thinking, both poems. Happy New Year, I watched London Fireworks from my bed on old TV I was given. They were very good, don’t like to think how much it all cost! Best wishes. Jean and Morrison x

[Greenthorn in reply to Morrison10]

Apologies if video dznt load. It was very noisy. No fireworks to be seen!

[Greenthorn]

Thanks Jean,I went to bed at 10 pm and got up at 11am this morning. But my son had sent me this video footage of midnight festivities from his house in Northampton. He was there with his younger two brothers. You can sense their excitement. I woke up at 00:15 to view his video at 00:18.

Just after midnight!

[Morrison10]

That’s good sleep, even when woken by video, didn’t open for me. Been Northampton few times. Hope have Happy New Year. Jean and Morrison x

looking at picture again, is that Silverstone race course?

[Greenthorn in reply to Morrison10]

No Jean, not Silverstone but the first frame of the video inside my sons house looking out through the downstairs window to a firework lit sky and the crackling of exclusions. The video is blurred since my son was running around with excitement! It is possible Silverstone had a firework display at the racing track.😀
