FENG SHUI

CLEAN UP TIME - SPRING AROUND THE CORNER - LET'S DEAL WITH CLUTTER....
"Things: or "stuff" constitute a major problem in most homes, and it accumulates
day by day. Useless kitchen gadgets, empty gift boxes to recycle,presents we
hate or have outgrown,inherited objects which fear of embarrassment or guilt will not
let us part with, an endless list of other items.
We hold on to clothes 'in case' we might need them. Books - so difficult to get
rid of----
Clutter represents stagnet energy, and with this in mind, I am going to start to bring a little FENG SHUI into my space--
Where to start? Think it will be the 'storage room' which is home to-you name it- it's there!!
I could use some company - I'll match you - junk for junk!!!
Sooooo - I'm on my way downstairs, can hardly wait to get started!!
I'll let you know if good karma enters - think it's supposed to come in the front door.

FAVOURITE POETS

Walt Whitman; Henry Wadsworth Longfellow; Robert Burns; Edgar Allan Poe...

Has a poem ever grabbed you with such interest you would read it over and over, even try and memorize a few lines - and you would recognize it immediately if the subject came up over casual conversation - so many out there -

One of my favorites - by Walt Whitman:

Oh Captain! My Captain! our fearful trip is done;
The ship has weather'd every rack, the prize we sought is won;
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring:

Seveal more verses complete this one, and you may remember it from the movie "Dead Poets Society".

Ok you literary people - What have you got??
