The surprise gift basket
Just two days ago I wrote about the gift baskets I collected and I thought that’ll be all for my collection this year.
This afternoon, I spotted this beautiful maroon basket across the street where I lived. It’s a beautiful and sturdy looking gift basket. Life is full of surprises!
I was feeling a bit under the weather today and I believe this gift basket carries with it a simple yet poignant message just for me:
Tension is who you think you should be.
Relaxation is who you are.

Poem of H㋡pe
MY GOD WILL MAKE A WAY – Lydia Preston
Society seems in a mess
Mothers cry, while Fathers stress
to be polite is a disgrace
as children mock you to your face
Every day the papers show
that crime and rape did upward go
the things done in laboratories
are stashed away in lavatories
Drugs and sex aren’t hard to find
it seems as if the world’s gone blind
for what the people fail to see
is messing up society
As Dads no longer head their home
and kids all sit, and chat by phone
what once to all has been a home
is looking like a war torn zone
No longer do you find that kids
are playing in the park
for it’s become a hideout place
for gangsters after dark
what once was right now seems so wrong
no more joy and no more song
as what this all was meant to be
lies buried in a cemetery
By telling you these things my aim
is not to make you mad
it’s just to tell another truth
which soon will make you glad
Amidst the chaos of this world
of hurt, despair and pain
and hate along with treachery
all done for selfish gain
There’s this one thing I know of
believe with all my heart
that when I bend my knees to pray
my God will make a way
“It’s not the load that breaks you down, it’s the way you carry it.”

Joke of the day – Days off work
Bert urgently needed a few days off work, but he knew the Boss would not allow him to take leave. He thought that maybe if he acted “CRAZY” then he would tell him to take a few days off.
So he hung upside down on the ceiling and made funny noises. His co-worker, Bonnie asked him what he was doing? He told her that he was pretending to be a light bulb so that the Boss would think he’s “CRAZY” and give him a few days off.
A few minutes later the Boss came into the office and asked “What are you doing?” Bert told him he was a light bulb. He said “You are clearly stressed out. Go home and recuperate for a couple of days”.
He jumped down and walked out of the office. When Bonnie followed him, the Boss asked, “And, where do you think you’re going?”
She replied, “I’m going home too, I can’t work in the dark!”
