Jack’s Winning Words 8/27/19
“Isn’t it good just to be alive on a day like this?  I pity the people who aren’t born yet for missing it?”  (L.M. Montgomery)  Enough with the “downers!”  I’m ready for some good thoughts…a warm Summer day, with a gentle breeze…the colorful Autumn trees…the gently falling Winter snowflakes…the chirping birds on a bright, Spring morning!  Ahhh!  These are positive things awaiting a new generation.  Can you think of others?  (No negatives!)   ;-)  Jack


FROM TAMPA SHIRL:  Every day is a beautiful day down here’===JACK:  ...except when the hurricane season threatens.===SHIRL:  True but that isn’t often! We have been evacuated once since we came in 1963!
FROM HAWKEYE GEORGE:  When I publish my next poem, I will send you a copy.===JACK:  Is it a rhyming poem?  


FROM GOOD DEBT JON:  Agreed. I'm not sure about the average newborn (or yet to be born) but my life continues to get much better...almost every day. "Love Every Day You Can."===JACK:  It's a rainy day  today...but that's good, because "into each life some rain must fall."  There's an Arabic saying..."All sunshine makes a desert."...

FROM ST PAUL IN ST PAUL:  good words for today,  Jack.  thanks...===JACK:  Words from me and Lucy Maud Montogomery.  Did you know that she was the author of Anne of Green Gables?

FROM LM:  That’s a good one!!  I like the “ no negatives”.  Have a good week😊===JACK:  You gotta accent the positive...eliminate the negative!  Do you know that song?===LM:  I do!  ( but only the refrain!  Lol)===JACK: 
You've got to spread joy up to the maximum  Bring gloom down to the minimum
Have faith or pandemonium  Liable to walk upon the scene
To illustrate his last remark  Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
What did they do  Just when everything looked so dark
Man, they said we better, accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative  Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister In-Between  No, do not mess with Mister In-Between
Do you hear me?
FROM DB IN WB:  Birthday cake and pleasant people to celebrate with …+++JACK:  I'm looking forward to that!

FROM DR J:  Albion Homecoming===JACK: 
Fyte Onne, for Albion,
Her destiny is in your hands!
Fyte Onne, and don’t give in,
No fighting Briton ever has!
Fyte Onne, You Britons strong,
For at the top you do belong!
So don’t give in, I know you’ll win,
Fyte Onne for Albion!

FROM DM IN LIV:  The unlimited and ever changing “cloud art” in the sky, the rushing of ocean waves to the shore, every living creature that God created…abundant blessings.===JACK:
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.

FROM OUTHOUSE JUDY:  Yes, it’s a beautiful day to be alive.  Tomorrow will too be...and the day after etc etc!===JACK:  Just like with individuals, no two days are exactly the same.

FROM SS:  Amen , thank you , Jack!===JACK:  Amen means, "It is good!"
