Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more: it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. -- Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5

IT ALL FALLS INTO PLACE
Today the Merriam-Webster word of the day is: "Scour"
My horoscope of the day is: "Big questions are on your mind -- thanks to someone close who can't stop asking 'why'. You almost certainly need to spend some time meditating or philosophizing today; action can come later."
So when I'm sitting still and Ron asks me "why?" I will say: "I am scouring my mind".
Plus the daily devotional adds this bonus: "Free me from guilt and shame"
So, let the meditation and philosophizing begin. It is going to be a good day:)

Sounds like a good start for the day to me! Except scouring sounds too much like cleaning...hard cleaning.
ReplyDeleteYou are off to a good start for sure. Let us know how it turns out. :)
ReplyDeleteTabor -- My mind can probably use a good cleaning. LOL
ReplyDeleteLynn -- So far, so good:)
Scouring sounds painful to me! Nothing like a guilt free day!
ReplyDeleteScouring anything is a good day!!
ReplyDeleteI'm late getting here, so I hope it was a good one!
ReplyDelete"I am scouring my mind" - excellent! I'm going to use that one at work.
ReplyDeleteNot only do you teach us a new word, but a new phrase.
ReplyDeleteLove the image of the kids skipping among the moon and stars. (Is that supposed to be you and Ron?)
Annie, I hope you had a spectacularly scour-y great day!
ReplyDeleteJoe -- It can't be entirely "guilt free" when I'm relaxing and my spouse is outside mowing.
ReplyDeleteKenju -- Oh yes, it was a good one.
Riot Kitty -- If you use that phrase at work people will probably think "scouring" somehow means the "F" word.
Ily -- The kids skipping are both me because I am a split personality Gemini!
Talon -- My day was so great, that during my meditation I fell asleep and ended up taking a four hour nap!
Thanks you guys for dropping by.
I need to scour the bathtub, but I will free myself from the guilt of putting it off until tomorrow ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhile you're scouring, don't forget the back sink.
