Plant Where You Will Bloom

-

 

 Someone posted a metaphor for life

On Facebook, using the price of water

A pint bottle of it at Costco 

Will cost you a quarter

 

Same bottle at the grocery store 

Will cost you twice as much

Buy it at a convenience store 

Near two dollars will be the touch

 

Buy the same bottle in a hotel 

Three dollars will be the price

Five dollars in an airport 

Probably more if you want ice

 

No change to brand or bottle 

Only difference is the place

Environment affects the value 

It is a fact that we must face

 

Same is true with real estate

Value is tied to the location

This concept can help you personally 

To improve your situation 

 

If you feel undervalued 

And your worth is not esteemed 

Maybe alter your circumstances 

Rearrange the scene 

 

Don’t be afraid to change your life 

Move on to something new

Associate with people 

Who appreciate and value you

I'm Jogging Like Joe Biden

-
I h ave recognized a fact That I see no need in hiding If you see me trying to jog I'll remind you of Joe Biden   I’m jogging like President Biden  And I mean no disrespect  But for guys hovering around the age of eighty It’s about what you’d expect    You’ve all seen Joe jogging  And you know just what I mean Ancient guy trying to look athletic  It’s not a pretty scene   Joe hobbles along for thirty feet or so Like he could go a mile Jogs up to the podium on the stage  And cracks a great big smile   I tried to jog the other day But didn’t make it far Was in Home Depot's parking lot  Headed for my car   Had on my brand-new running shoes That are "cushioned like a cloud" If the company saw me jogging They’d ask I not say their name out loud   Every joint was shouting My heart said “what the hay” My legs wouldn't participate Body refused to play   Like Joe, I made it about thirty feet Before I had to walk No stage, no p...

Amsterdam's Red-Light District

-
Lynda and I were in Amsterdam   Early evening in Old Town Walked into the Red-Light District Just to look around   No brothel signs or markers Just three red lights above some doors Suggesting companionship for hire I guess, that and so much more   Could see the profile of a woman Through some gauzy reddish curtains Slightest indication given About what we knew for certain    Atmosphere subdued and quiet Not like the streets nearby Where cannabis, vape and edibles Let you pick your way to fly   We were there too early Area was almost deserted  Opportunities and possibilities  At that time were quietly skirted    Don’t know what I expected  Didn’t plan to venture there Not trying to conduct any business  We were just a curious pair   It was a very low-key adventure  Uneventful, one would say  Guess that’s all one can expect At the wrong time of the day

Yogi Berra Style

-
My wife handed me a grocery list As I headed for the store She had added comments on her list To help me with this chore   A note by an item on her list  Really made me smile She'd written “If they don’t have it, don’t get it” In true Yogi Berra style   “If they don’t have it, don’t get it” Like Yogi himself would say Meaning "Don't go elsewhere for it, We'll get it another day"   Yogi, the great Yankee’s catcher Who's in the Baseball Hall of Fame  Maybe more famous for his malaprops Than the way he played the game   Many of these “yogi-isms” Were made by others in Yogi's stead Yogi himself once declared  "I never said half the things I said"    A well-known one of Yogi's  His logic can’t be doubted “People don’t go there anymore  Because it gets too crowded”   I think of all his quotes  My favorite one endures “If you don’t go to their funeral  They won’t come to yours”   Let’s close with a Yogi saying In a base...
