The Pleasure of Pride

"The pleasure of pride is like the pleasure of scratching.
If there is an itch one does want to scratch; but it is much nicer
to have neither the itch nor the scratch.

As long as we have the itch of self-regard we shall want
the pleasure of self-approval; but the happiest moments are
those when we forget our precious selves and have neither
but have everything else, (God, our fellow humans, animals,
the garden, and the sky.)" ~C.S. Lewis~

Steppin' Out

So, Drew and I are going to try this blog stuff.
Personally, I have never been a fan because this means that
I will probably spend more time on here than necessary.
But I know that I love to read others and keep up on lives
this way so I thought you could keep up on us, too.
But, phonecalls and letters are way more personal for me,
but maybe this little experiment will change my mind.

This is the last day of August, what!??

I barely recognized summer and now fall; I'm not ready.
I LOVE SUMMER and I love fall but fall makes me realize
that soon enough the snow will be coming. I hate snow after Christmas.
Welcome to Ohio.
