Fishing Best Days

My heart is filled with thanks for the wonderful response I have received from you, our readers, after being introduced to you in last year’s Almanac. I especially loved the Christmas card which said, “May Santa fill your stocking, but no one else can fill your shoes! Merry Christmas.” Equally complimentary was the comment in one letter which said, “Thank you for your picture, you are beautiful. I use Blum’s Almanac for all my gardening.”

Throughout the year, there are many emotions that cross all of our minds and hearts. Some I have thought of are reflective of our so called modern lifestyle:

We have taller buildings but narrower view points.
We have multiplied our possessions but reduced our values.
We get too angry, read too little, watch TV too much and pray too seldom.
We talk too much, love too little and criticize too often.

Some make us stop and reflect on our personal life:

Remember to say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.
Remember to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart, and it doesn’t cost a cent.
Remember to say, “I love you” to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mean more when it comes from deep inside of you.
Remember to spend some time with your loved ones and cherish the moment, for someday that person will not be there again.
Make time to show love. Make time to speak! And make time to share the precious thoughts in your heart.

And some make us laugh:

It would be better if you don’t sweat the petty things and don’t pet the sweaty things.
What was the best thing before sliced bread?
If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done?
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, “Where’s the self-help section?” She said, “If I told you it would defeat the purpose.”
Why is there an expiration date on sour cream?

I just hope that your year will be filled with joy, thanksgiving and happiness.

Love to you all!
