Us Two - from Pooh Bear

~ By AA Milne~

"Wherever I am, there's always Pooh;
there's always Pooh and me.
Whatever I do, he wants to do,
"where are you going today?" says Pooh...
"Well, that's very odd 'cos I was too."

"Let's go together," says Pooh, says he. "Let's go together", says Pooh.
"What's twice eleven?" I said to Pooh, "Twice what?" said Pooh to Me.
"I think it ought to be twenty two", "Just what I think myself," said Pooh.
"It wasn't an easy sum to do, But that's what it is," said Pooh, said he.
"That's what it is," said Pooh.

"Let's look for the dragons," I said to Pooh. "Yes, let's," said Pooh to Me.
We crossed the river and found a few... "Yes those are dragons all right," said Pooh.
"As soon as I saw their beaks I knew. That's what they are," said Pooh, said he.
"That's what they are," said Pooh.

"Let's frighten the dragons," I said to Pooh. "That's right," said Pooh to Me.
"I'm not afraid," I said to Pooh, And held his paw and shouted
"Shoo! Silly old dragons!" and off they flew.
"I wasn't afraid," said Pooh, said he, "I'm never afraid with you."

So wherever I am, there's always Pooh; there's always Pooh and me.
"What would I do?" I said to Pooh, "If it wasn't for you," and Pooh said...
"True, It isn't much fun for One, but Two can stick together," says Pooh, says he.
"That's how it is," says Pooh.

a real cliffhanger





These came to me via email.
Things aren't always what they seem.
It only *looks* impossible!

From a different perspective,
it's not so far - after all.
perspective!

cleaning and errands

tempus fidget

Today is a day of "catching up" for me.
It seems that we do things by the clock or the calendar.
I wasn't ready to change until the psychological barrier of "crossing the date line" brought us into a new month. Whereas before, I might have let things go just a little, now I am ready to tidy up all the things that just need a good cleaning...

. . . . computer files. . . . underneath the cabinets. . . . summer clothes that are now too big. . . . mental files that are now too small. . . . (notes to self). . . . . my truck. . . .

Sometimes "sanity" is all in the details. In fact, the word "sanity" and "sanitary" both come from the same root word. As in clean. And as in "sanitarium!"

From Anglo-French sanité. From Latin sanitat- sanitas health, sanity. From sanus healthy, sane...

So here's to sanity in all of it's forms. Such a cruel mistress!
